The Prophecy

is the punishment for many Islamic terrorists, maybe that’s a poor choice of metaphor.)

Anyway, my point is this: I’m not afraid of taking chances.

During the past year, while researching Nostradamus and his prophecies, I’ve encountered an equal number of believers and non-believers. Although their positions couldn’t be further apart, both groups had one trait in common: they were passionate. Many praised my choice of topic, pleased that someone was writing a thriller about Nostradamus. Others were less than complimentary. The terms I heard most often were ‘crackpot’ and ‘charlatan’. I think they were talking

Either way, I knew I had chosen wisely because everyone had an opinion.

With that in mind, I did my best to stay neutral on the topic. I presented some of the best-known stories about Nostradamus, and some of the lesser-known ones. And since The Prophecy is a novel, I also made up a bunch of stuff — although I’ll never reveal what.

Ultimately, I wasn’t trying to change your opinion about Nostradamus. My only goal was to entertain.
