About the Novel
Judea, AD 30. Rome holds a fractured land in an iron grip.
Beyond Jerusalem, a band of outlaws survives by robbing travelers along the Jericho Road. Hardened by loss, bound by loyalty, and accustomed to settling their own problems far from Rome’s reach, they expect nothing more than another dangerous Passover season.
But Jerusalem is changing.
Rebellion is gathering strength. Roman patrols are tightening their grip. And rumors are spreading of a Galilean rabbi whose words are stirring hope in men desperate for something to believe in.
Over nine fateful days, choices made in anger, fear, loyalty, grief, and hope send lives on opposite sides of a rebellion toward the same moment in history.
They never expected to become part of the story the world would remember. But history had other plans.
Remember Me: A Thief in Paradise is a familiar tale told from the fringes of history—a story of broken men, hard choices, unimaginable loss, and an unexpected road to redemption.
