Background
Information
David James Trapp wrote Dog Days in Bedlam as a testament to the costly but inspiring power of love, faith and courage to defy tyranny. This is a martyr's tale. This is also a parable about the "truths" of history, the casual cruelty of tyrants, and the shamelessness of propaganda and spin control. This critically acclaimed book is a must read.
The Bard of Bethlehem is a Christmas story about a Celtic musician in the days of the Roman Empire who plays songs to the Star of Bethlehem. This is an excellent read, and it is receiving good reviews!
