About the Book

New Treasures From Old
(Now joined by the author's audiobook narration)

Hailed as "an exemplar of epic poetry" (San Francisco Review of Books), A LeRoy crafts visionary tales inspired by Bible themes, Shakespeare, and mythology. Combining prophetic miracles, dueling angels, and shapeshifting creatures, his verses recall the great epics of Homer, Dante, and Ovid.

1. Obama's Dream

President Obama longs for restful sleep. Not easy when you're about to hand over the keys of empire to an unscrupulous successor, even harder when the devil himself is whispering in your ear!

Enter two great angels on a divine mission to save a man's soul and with it, all of humanity. To do so, they must not only take on the Satanic powers but lead Obama in a journey of revelation and transformation.

Yet Obama's greatest lesson that night, and his chance at redemption, comes when he is presented before the very throne of God! Did he heed Heaven's message? You decide!

2. Elijah

Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath.

But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven!

This 12-part epic relives the stunning miracles of the great prophet as described in the Old Testament-fed by ravens, raising the dead, commanding the rain, calling down fire from Heaven, outrunning horses, ascending to Heaven.

But along with all this, the author weaves a rich thread of mythological influences: shapeshifting goddesses, shamanic journeys, dueling dragons, Queen Jezebel's seductions, and dissension in the ranks of King Ahab's bodyguard.

Raunchy yet reverent, this timeless tale takes wing in the poet's pen, the poet's voice!

3. Jezebel's Lament

She's a killer of innocents, seducer of priests, and all-round nasty piece of work. At least that's what History would have you believe of Queen Jezebel.

But now, three thousand years after her reign in Israel, she gets to tell her side of the story. Not "harlot queen", she insists, but "virgin bride", not murderer but moderate, and certainly not the bad guy in her struggle with the prophet Elijah, that "unkempt fire-and-brimstone hairy hermit," and his successor Elisha.

It's a riveting and saucy yarn, weaving invention around Scripture's narrative, while offering compelling insights into the "monsters" who live, and even rule, among us!

What reviewers are saying:

"An epic tale, Biblically based, but with considerable writer's freedom that makes the book wholly entertaining."
San Francisco Review of Books

"Absolutely wonderful and hypnotic narration, his voice flowing over gently with the narrative song of his words."
Amy's Bookshelf Reviews, Top 10 Books of 2018

What Amazon readers are saying

"Captivated me from start to end."

"Deeply stirring, intelligent and amusing in turn."

"Takes the reader on a fantastic journey across time and space."

"Cleverly done!"
