Today we welcome Jim O'Shea to my blog. Jim, is telling us about his new suspense book, The Linen God. Glad to have you stop by, Jim.
Tell us about the book:
“The Linen God” is a Dan Brown-style thriller that tackles
the always dynamic and too often contentious relationship between religion and
science. It focuses on the world’s most studied and controversial religious
relic, the Shroud of Turin. The Linen
God asks a simple question: Is the Shroud really the burial shroud of Jesus of
Nazareth and, if so, does is contain secrets powerful enough to alter the
course of human history?
Why do you write the kind of books you do?
I’m fascinated by the perceived disconnect between religion and science.
Science should be one of the most
powerful means to reveal God’s creation, but is sometimes nothing more than a
tool used by the secular world to discredit faith, and one often rejected by
the faithful. I’d like to help change that.
What is your current work in
progress?
A technical mystery/thriller with a redemption theme
along the lines of “The Shack”.
What three things about you
would surprise readers?
I spent my career in technology and only got into
writing eight years ago. My wife is my primary editor and idea “bouncer-offer”.
I have WAY more ideas for novels than time to right them.
What are your hobbies, besides writing and reading?

Ice
hockey, house rehabbing, charity work.
What is your most difficult writing obstacle, and how do you overcome it?
What is your most difficult writing obstacle, and how do you overcome it?
Staying on-point. Writing is
intensive for me, and difficult to maintain for more than thirty minutes or so
without coming up for air. Getting back into the “flow” can often be difficult
but, overall, I believe the process works.
