Was Jesus really a god? What if the gospel stories are colourful and distorted reimaginings of what actually happened?

Million Eyes II ebook coming a little later than planned (but cover reveal and official blurb coming this Friday!)
Sorry for the long gaps between posting, but as my newsletter readers already know, writing has been forced to plummet down my list of important things these past four months.
