I am now publishing my second book called God Denied, which is part of a Trilogy entitled, Past Lives Denied, about past life regression. It is a murder mystery which describes how past life regression can be utilized to solve multiple problems in present day situations. The setting is a university in the mid-west, which like most universities is faced with the chaos of anti-Israel protests and the characters are all involved with the university in attempting to deal not only with the crisis of murder but with the ongoing challenges on campus.
