David Bergsland

For me, my early life culminated with the great rebellion of the sixties. Ending up as a fine artist and heavy user of pot and acid, I needed help. I met Jesus in 1974, and my life began, for real. The Lord gave me an amazing Godly woman for my wife in 1976. I became a graphic designer, font designer, and desktop publisher. In 1991, I began teaching printing and digital publishing. That resulted in writing dozens of books and booklets about the practical processes, using InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. In 2009, I began the transformation into an author of fiction. By the end of 2022, I had 17 novels in five series, as I have developed my craft. This book is #20, and is the third book of the sixth series. I’m using Christian contemporary speculative fiction with some Biblical romance to share stories about the reality of how Jesus touches our day-to-day lives, while being strongly focused upon Biblical truth. I put the stereotypical Bible quoters in the same category as robo-callers. I attempt to reveal Jesus within a realistic world sharing my experiences. The goal is to reveal Jesus as a loving Creator building people into what they are designed to be. I currently assume time is running short, and the final harvest is here.

Acknowledgments

The past couple of years have been very satisfying to me. As I have met fellow pilgrims, it has become obvious that I am not alone in wanting a way to help readers understand what to expect spiritually in the books that they buy.

Many of the more stimulating interactions online have been in the closed FaceBook group, Iron Sharpens Iron: Christian Speculative Fiction Authors. David, Ben, Jeremy, Mary, Mirtika, Sean, Parker, Kessie, Annie, and I’ve know I’ve forgotten several more, have been a real joy and a serious reality check. It’s been
