Synopsis

God, grifter, or something far more intriguing?

It's November 2005, and a global debate rages over the sudden arrival of God in Phoenix, Arizona. Found near death in the nearby desert, this nameless old man, foul-mouthed and clad in Armani, is admitted to the Phoenix General Hospital. His only wish? To relay an urgent message to humanity through one hand-picked human.

Meet Earl Grey, an unreliable, down-on-his-luck newspaper reporter. Atheist by nature, cynic by trade, Earl is coerced into interviewing this Could-Be-God and relaying His words to an impatient global press. Earl's staunch disbelief and staggering lack of enthusiasm are evident from the get-go. That is until the miracles begin.

With humanity's survival at stake, can Earl discover the ultimate truth about life, the universe and everything in between, or run out of time? Assuming time ever existed in the first place.

About this title

About the Author

Before belly-flopping into the deep end of the writing pool, MJ spent several excruciating decades in the business world. Plus, a few moments of personal joy as a lecturer at Montreal's McGill University. But now, free from politically correct corporate-speak and the obligation to wear pants, he writes short stories and fictional novels from his home in Canada. Born in Rugby, England, MJ was snatched from the crib and quickly immersed in all facets of British humour. He spent his childhood looking for the meaning of life through a lens dominated by Pythons and Galactic Hitchhikers. So, it should be no surprise that, as a grown man, his global perspective remains a tad bent. Unable to skate, MJ was considered an outcast in Canada and summarily banished to the small village of Elora, Ontario, where he was outnumbered by cows. As such, he has embraced a dietary policy of 'no red meat' to pacify the more militant bovines in the neighbourhood. His hobbies include Amateur Radiology, Ardvarkian Philosophy and collecting pottery-based weapons.MJ is a citizen of both the U.K. and Canada and plans to leave everything to his Great-grandfather.
