December 8: Today in Upon This Rock
December 8: Today in Upon This Rock
December 8: Today in Upon This Rock, the elderly, elfish and enigmatic priest, Don Bello, shows Adriano & Lee his pastorate: the nearly 1000 year old church of San Giovanale, oldest in Orvieto, and central to the mystery surrounding the suicide of its young deacon, Andrea.
As the mystery unfolds during Christmas Season, it’s perfect for literary gift giving. Throughout the Holidays, I’ll be posting a location from the book — all well known by Alfredo and me from Orvieto — and its literal inspiration in the book.
My best-selling double award winning mystery thriller is now in its second printing with its screenplay being shopped around Hollywood (fingers crossed).
