A Little About Junie Moon Rising:
The sequel to Goodbye Junie Moon begins where June left off in Washington. She sacrificed her business, and put herself at risk, by becoming a whistle-blower. In Vietnam she had seen so many devastated lives, and now her one goal was to save a life by adopting one of the many orphans she had seen living on the streets.
With no husband, no money, and a flamboyant lifestyle what hope did she have of meeting the adoptive parents’ stringent guidelines? Her only assets were courage, persistence, and determination. The possibility of royalties from a book she planned to write, about her Vietnam experiences, offered the only real glimmer of hope. Can she find a husband and become an acceptable adoptive parent? Only time will tell.

Thomas returns with his dreams ripped away. When Orah is taken next, Nathaniel tries to rescue her and is imprisoned in the Temple City. There he meets the first keeper of the ancient clues. But when he seeks the keep, what he finds is not magic at all.
About the Author:
The urge to write first struck when David was working on a newsletter at a youth encampment. It may have been when lightning flashed at sunset followed by northern lights rippling after dark – or maybe it was the editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.
What People Are Saying About There Comes A Prophet:

“The trick is to create a deftly paced story with well-rounded characters on a journey that takes a reader along for the ride. David Litwack accomplishes this in masterful fashion…Past masters in this area are C.J. Cherryh, Andre Norton, Gene Wolfe, and Roger Zelazny. Litwack has earned a seat at their table.” – ForeWord Clarion Reviews
