Author's Notebook

SOME SECRETS REFUSE TO BE BURIED

I often wondered how Eliana might have hidden her writings in the first century. Ancient Judea was far from safe after the death of Christ. Early followers of the Church struggled to find refuge, and for Eliana, entrusting her work to loyal friends and kin became the only path forward.

Her journey carried those fragile scrolls along spice caravan routes from Egypt to the rose-red city of Petra, and across harsh seas and rugged lands all the way to Din Eidyn—what we now know as Edinburgh.

But how were the scrolls hidden through the centuries?

Leonardo Da Vinci and Vincent Van Gogh are two artists whose works are mentioned in this The Gospel of Eliana.

With more major museums per square mile in New York and Paris today, it felt natural to weave her story into the art world - the Louvre and the Whitney Museum, slipping into the story for memorable cameos. Through deserts and distant shores, Eliana's story unfolds as more than history—it is a passage between worlds, where faith, hope, and survival intertwine.

Bonus Dive:

The Silent Codes of Art

Some critics have speculated that Da Vinci used mirror writing to hide his notes and ideas, while Michelangelo used hidden geometry to hide his feminist beliefs. Many other artists use secret codes, hidden symbols, and layered meanings to communicate complex emotions and ideas, or sometimes to make a political commentary during repressive times.

In modern times, Banksy, the guerilla street artist known for being a "hero to some, a vandal to others" is famous for his provocative anti-authoritarian art - a visual commentary on controversial themes like war, racism, consumerism and social injustice.

If you had a canvas right in front of you now, what themes would you like to see more. Will you go the Da Vinci or Banksy route?



Shows to Amuse, Provoke, Entertain and to Keep You Writing



Lately, these shows have been riveting enough, to make me pause and stop writing for a well-desrved break.

Although the four shows have different themes, and subject matter, the episodic series were well written and immersive, good enough to get lost in during the cooler months ahead.

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty earned a 98% audience review on Rotten Tomatoes. "One of the key drivers of the show's popularity is its uniquely Korean storytelling. The fantasy element of time travel, romance between a chef and a tyrant king, the comedic chemistry between the leads , and stories centered on traditional Korean ingredients all come together like a perfectly wrapped gift."

If you're into Nordic Noir (yes, it really is a thing!), a type of crime fiction genre known for gritty realism, dark atmosphere and focuses on social critique, you will enjoy The Asset, which have topped Netflix's global charts, Elle says that "the series was praised for its 'sharp and smooth editing' and 'taut storytelling', with fans of Nordic noir applauding it on social media for being 'tense, emotional' and drawing comparisons to The Night Manager and Homeland for its intricate plotting and moral ambiguity.

"The Crystal Cuckoo, a new Spanish drama featured in Netflix,"isn't perfect, but what it lacks in a mystery was a strong presentation. The show competently keeps itself from wasting any time, always moving from start to finish."

For Beyond the Bar, here's a nice critique- "Witty, empathetic, and spellbinding, Beyond the Bar follows tvN’s Law and the City in invigorating the legal drama genre. Bold and sharp in its social commentary, this is a narrative guided by proactive, smart characters who take charge of their own reality and future.
