Here is a photo of me with my neighbor, Bill.

Bill is a talented artist. I was walking with him in his house one day and saw this striking paiting on the wall.

I commented on it and asked him what he called it. He said it’s “The Burning Bush.” I stepped back for a moment, almost breathless. You see, at that exact moment, I was just finishing my new novel entitled TESLER and the BURNING BUSH. We talked about it for a little bit, and then I asked him if he might be willing to allow me to use this painting as the cover of my new novel. He readily agreed. I couldn’t have been happier.

After nearly three years, the novel releases tomorrow, October 16, 2026. I’d be honored if you check it out.

Paperback will be available starting tomorrow. Ask for it at your local bookstore or library!
