"Mary Magdalene"
Gina: So nice to have you, Larry!Please tell us about your new book, Mary Magdalene.
Larry:
I have a new book out about a wonderful Bible character from the New Testament part fiction and part nonfiction. Mary Magdalene is a wonderful character and my book went for 10,000 words. I found a very nice and perfect image from istockphoto.com for the front cover. A nice lady from Utah formatted it for me so I could self-publish it via KDP. It is available both digital and print on Amazon. The cover shows her in front of the empty tomb of Jesus just before she sees Him.
Gina: Thank you for visiting, Larry. Best of luck with your new book!
Larry's recent publication Mary Magdalene is available via Amazon available in Kindle and print, numbering 10,000 words. And be sure to check out his other fine books, too!

Thank you for having me Gina. I always enjoy visiting your blog for an interview.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have you visit, Larry, than you for being here. I can't wait to read "Mary Magdalene".
DeleteI've read Mary Magdalene, and can say it's one of the best Bible re-telling stories I've read. I couldn't put it down.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gail. I thank you for the nice review.
ReplyDeleteTo all who visit and have not read the book yet I will give away two Kindle versions of Mary Magdalene. Sorry I forgot to mention that Regina.
ReplyDeleteGreat, that's so generous, Larry!
DeleteWow! What a wonderful subject to write about! I bet it was so rewarding deep inside to be able to tell her story and what could have been. I'm excited for you, Larry.
ReplyDeleteNice interview, Regina and Larry. This sounds like an amazing story. Someone needed to write it long ago. I'm sure it's a story of cleansing and forgiveness that only Jesus can provide. You look like a top executive in your suit. I'm happy you are well on your way to full recovery. God bless you in your writing endeavors.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda and Laurie. I enjoyed writing this story. A friend of mine encouraged me to write about her. I know there are many books written about her but I have not read any of them. The fiction part was her early life and the nonfiction part was from the cross to the resurrection. I may pick some more characters. My other one was about the Shunammite Woman in the Old Testament. I remember your comments about that one, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a wonderful book,Larry, and I have just purchased it and look forward to reading it, when I've finished some other things I'm committe to. Wishing you much success with this and your future books.
ReplyDeleteHywela: Thank you so much for buying Mary Magdalene. It took some research and when the Bible is involved that makes it worthwhile. You will note in the front the link I consulted to straighten out the trips to the tomb involved by the apostles and women. it is a short read and I look forward to hearing from you on that.
ReplyDeleteHello Larry, and welcome to "the World". It is great to have you visit! I can't wait to chat about your newest book, the rest of your impressive publications, and so much more. I know our readers will have lots to ask you, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gina. I always look forward to being on your blog and communicating with you and others. I hope you enjoy The Vanishing Shed too and thanks for telling me you received it. I need to gift you Mary Magdalene. After all you are having me here.
ReplyDeleteLarry, I am loving The Vanishing Shed! I am glad it's the weekend so I can finish it :-) Thank you again for gifting me with it, I appreciate it.
DeleteGina: I doubt anyone else is going to show up. Gail already has a copy and has reviewed it, and Hywela said she bought the Kindle version. I thought I would go ahead and gift Linda and Laurie a Kindle copy from Amazon and I would like to give you a copy too since you have been nice in interviewing me. What say ye?
ReplyDeleteOf course, Larry, thank you! And thank you for visiting. It was so fascinating to learn more about 'Mary Magdalene'. I can't wait to read it. Please visit again soon.
ReplyDeleteReaders, thank you for visitng and for your comments. Be sure to come back soon, when Bob and Benny the tavel bloggers visit next. Then, we will feature Linda Weaver Clarke!
