I am Jewish and was introduced to the Gospels a long time ago. I was shocked at how Jewish Jesus is. His persecution by Jews made little sense. So I embarked on years of research. Coincidentally, I was writing screenplays which increased my confidence at storytelling. Put my two interests together and I knew I had a story that had not been told before.

No kidding, but my major achievement is that I stayed alive. I have a BA in math and an MA in philosophy. That's about it.
