Richard Spillman is a retired Computer Scientist who typically writes Christian non-fiction (The Passion of Job and Do What Jesus Did both available on Amazon) as well as a Christian blog (spillmanrichard.com). His latest passion, however, is Christian fiction. His first novel, Awakened, was just picked up by Mountain Brook Ink and should be out early 2019. The story asks the question: "What if Lazarus didn't die a second time?" It involves plots by demons to destroy mankind and Lazarus as the leader of the Awakens role as a defender of mankind.
He was led to write it after avoiding being kidnapped by ISIS in the Philippines and then receiving death threats (to behead him in standard ISIS fashion) during the rest of his missionary service there. Besides the blog he is active on twitter (https://twitter.com/awakenedtrilogy ) and instagram ( http://ink361.com/app/users/ig-3176880720/spillmanrichard/photos)
