Questions for the author

[Ferdinand_Otieno]

This was a very interesting book and in line with it being thought-provoking, It also brought up questions that I would like to ask the author.
The main question thatfor me would be the level of research the author implimented and how he came up with the idea for this book.
What major questions do you have for the author?

In the description included in the review opportunity page, there are the phrases "Killing Abel is a novel based on the historical events from Adam to Noah." and Why did the Creator of the Heavens and the earth in just six days, have Noah take 100 years to build an untested wooden boat to save creation? Reading them, I couldn't help wondering if the author is a creationist who based the book on literal interpretations of the Bible.

Interesting question! I would love to ask the author:

1. Did you draw on any extra-Biblical sources for filling in the storyline? For example, did you add in anything from the Babylonian account (Enuma Elish) or the ancient Sumerian cosmology?

2. Have you ever read the Book of Jasher and did you draw on that for filling in the details that, by comparison, were CLEARLY left out of the Biblical account?

What's your writing process?

[Cynthia_Oluchi]

Dear author, you filled so many gaps. What exactly inspired you?

I have the same queries. What inspired the author to choose only this portion of Genesis and not not others to embed into a novel?

[Kemmy11]

I just want to ask "what was the motivation behind writing this book?"

[Wuoketch]

Dear author, what inspired you to this title? Why wouldn't you take another title for the book?

[Indaboski]

I will like to know what inspired the author to write this book. The events in this book happen to be historical. I will like to see how the writer did his research and achieved this book.

My question to the other is on how he was able to discuss the bible in depth. How did he manage to maintain the legitimacy of the scriptures and relate the same in different examples?

[DominicVenditti]

I would ask the author if he believed that having an in detail account or story of other biblical stories would overall be a good thing or if the level of detail given in scripture has its own advantages.

[Lady-of-Literature]

I would like to know how long has the story been on their mind? Why did they choose now to write it?

[blessing_bona]

Dear author,

What was it like connecting with the scenes in your head and making this story out of it?

[Leen282]

I would like to ask if the author intends to elaborate on the Bible, or if the Bible is only the starting point to write a novel with an interesting story line.

[Kirsi Cultrera]

I would like to ask the author if he sees any risks in the fact that by writing a fictional novel he's mixing the words of the Bible with his imagination? And another question would be: how does he feel about Christian fictive literature overall?
