Unfortunately, every single thing I can tell you is....nothing.
I'm currently under strict orders to keep it all a big secret, including the title. So how to do a post about a book I can't talk about? Well, mostly I'm going to be irritatingly mysterious.What I thought I'd do is share a few of the inspirations for the book in hopes that they might give you a taste for what it is.
First, there's this quote by Stephen jay Gould that was probably the single biggest early influence on the book.
"No..conflict should exist because each subject (science and religion) has a legitimate magisterium, or domain of teaching authority—and these magisteria do not overlap..."
Next, a wikipedia entry.
And now a few significant locations where the book takes place.
The main character has one of her last happy memories floating late at night in a place just like this. |
This is what all the characters spend alot of time looking at. |
This is where one character gets down on his knees and begs for forgiveness. |
This is a major character in the book who's not entirely what he seems. |
I can't wait to tell you all more!

You're such a tease! Can't wait to hear more! <3
Definitely like the quote from Gould. You've piqued my interest. And is that a Russian Blue?
Thanks bonnie.
Hi Tim! He's a shelter cat so probably a bit of a mix, but we do like to think he's descended from Russian royalty.
Henry! Sorry, what were we talking about? (Jeff, you would not believe how long it took me to figure out that you are the same Jeff Hirsch who is married to Gertie, whose blog I read. I can be a little slow.)
Hi Annika! The funny thing is if you read both my and Gertie's book this fall you will find that henry makes a significant appearance in both of them. That little guy really wormed his way into our hearts. The other cat is a little pissed, but maybe her time will come.
Wow, I can't wait to read this!
OMG, Jeff! Now I'm on pins & needles! And what a cute cat! (okay, he's elegant... lol!)
Is It A Sequel To The Eleventh Plague?
Hi jake. Nope, the book this fall isn't a sequel. It's the start of a whole new thing and may be the start of a series.
Will there be a sequel to the eleventh plague??? I really liked that book and im hoping for a sequel.
Wow I feel like the only kid who read the 11th plague.
