This is a a novel about the balance between good and evil.The idea for The School of the Gods began with a series of “What if…”s. What if we really did have multiple lives? What if God made mistakes and learned from them? What if our spiritual goal was to become a god and it was his job to foster us while we grew? What if we ultimately became the god of our own universe, responsible for fostering our own crop of spirits to godhead? If all that were true, there would have to be a school. I mean, that’s what schools do … give us the training to start a new career.The School of the Gods is not a book about God, religious dogma, or organized religion. Instead, it’s a story about Jeremiah: ex-Marine, bar fly, and womanizer. Jeremiah’s life of excess leads to an untimely end. There is nothing unusual about his death other than he is the 137,438,953,472nd person to die since the beginning of humanity. That coincidence allows Jeremiah to bypass Judgement and get a free pass into Heaven. It also begins the story.Jeremiah’s entry into the hereafter leads to him becoming the confident of the god of our universe. As Jeremiah begins his path toward godhead, he discovers the answer to many questions about God that have confounded humanity from the beginning of time like why transsexuals exist, the real reason for the ten commandments, why the Great Flood of Noah actually happened, and where all of the other species that couldn’t fit on the boat were kept. Along the way, God, Jeremiah, and three other god-hopefuls throw the forces of evil out of God’s Home, create a beer drinker’s guide to the universes, and become all-powerful gods of their own universes.
