Book of Mormon Stories
This is a relatively short snippet I have chosen to share. It's the opening scene of, not the Book of Mormon, but the story I want to tell.

Where did they go? The ancient Pueblo, the Hopewell and Fremont Indians, the Aztecs, Maya, Olmecs. They all certainly left their mark on the earth with ancient ruined cities, great earthworks, pots, plates and myriad other artifacts. We know where they lived, maybe a little about how they lived. But what happened to them? Where did they go? Or even more importantly, why did they go?
When I made the decision to write stories based on the Book of Mormon I wanted to do some short writing exercises. One of the first exercises I did was the story of Alma the Elder. Priest of the wicked king Noah and sole convert of the prophet Abinadai.
I believe that anyone who wants to create a novelization of any scriptural story has got to be their own kind of crazy.
