Did you know the Middle Ages and Renaissance Europeans thought Ethiopia was an entire continent and there was no mightier kings to be found than on those shores? Or that the ancient Egyptians said Ethiopia was “the place where Gods walked with man.” Writing thrillers based on Ethiopian history and biblical mythology means you never lack for inspiration or material. Unfortunately, due to civil wars and a new drought, over twenty million people in the area now risk starvation. I fear that soon the beautiful, rich, complex country I write spiritual thrillers about will become as legendary as the ancient Egyptians who called it Heaven.
