Calling all Bookworms!

Hello, I hope there are some book-lovers out there.

My dad has been trying to get started and work as a full-time author for years. He hasn't had much success (if any), but he hasn't quit. He has written several works, mostly Christian Fiction. I just uploaded one of his books, Achor on a website called, "Authonomy". Anyone can upload their stories there and anyone can read others' stories there as well . . . as long as one has an account. If you do, or if you would like to, please go to authonomy.com and check out my dad's book, Achor.

If you need more persuading, here's a synopsis:

The writer Jack Silver is puzzled when he sees the archaeologist Dr. Hamilton covering up an area he just excavated.


Jack Silver is a writer who loves being with his family and studying archaeology. When the archaeologist Dr. Jay Hamilton writes to him, asking for his help in an upcoming dig, Jack is encouraged by his daughter, an aspiring archaeologist herself, and welcomes the opportunity.

Dr. Hamilton is aware of Jack’s insightful knowledge of all things biblical ever since they went to school together, and wants to hear his opinion on exactly what spot of the Valley of Achor the dig should be directed. During the meeting, Dr. Hamilton invites Jack Silver to join him on the excavation. With Dr. Hamilton’s permission, the Silver family decides to join him.

Dr. Hamilton is overly excited to start digging, even willing to risk breaking Israel’s sacred Sabbath laws. On Saturday night, an earthquake hits Israel; the epicenter being at the Valley of Achor. Jack knows Dr. Hamilton is there and goes to see if he is alright. Jack is baffled at seeing Dr. Hamilton covering the area he just excavated instead of digging further; what happened?

Please go and check it out!
