I love it when authors get ideas and go into new directions with their writing because of it. For Antony Kolenc, his middle-grade/YA medieval mysteries are followed by a supernatural thriller exploring what would happen if they managed to have Jesus' blood and cloned Him today. Listen in to learn about what Antony did with the chilling possibilities of trying to play God in this technologically advanced age.

 With AI taking over nearly everything (tried to write in Word lately? It keeps wanting to "help me." No thanks!), and medical advances that while AMAZING (using a person's own stem cells to reverse Type 1 Diabetes, yes, please!) also lead us closer and closer to the unthinkable, the stuff we thought of as only crazy Sci-Fi back when we were kids is becoming a reality.  Kolenc explores the idea by looking at it through the lens of trying to clone Jesus.  I mean, if it's wrong to try to clone God incarnate, is it right to clone His creation?  OR... are those two very different things?  And if one is okay and the other isn't, how long would it be before the "okay" slipped down a slope into the heretical?

Don't miss the final book (for now) in the Harwood Mysteries, The Devil's Ransom.

Incarnate by Antony Barone Kolenc

 October, 2007. Joshua Christiansen thinks he's just an ordinary teen, ready to graduate high school and infatuated with his best friend Rachel...until Agent Samson shows up and tells him who he really is. Now, while dodging ruthless zealots and evading government plots, he must test the limits of his mind and body as he seeks the truth about himself.

Was he truly cloned from the blood of a Eucharistic miracle? Does he really have the power to trigger the End of Days? Or will he be killed, captured, or brainwashed by one of the many people who want to use him for their own ends before he can learn the truth?
