Magda Revealed
In stores April 2025
“. . . a compelling, provocative and deeply researched retelling of the traditional Christian narrative . . .. Magda becomes a heroine both for her time and ours.”
–LOUIS BAYARD, author of The Wildes and The Pale Blue Eye
“Fans of historical retellings will be captivated.”
–BOOK LIFE, Editor’s Choice
"A revelatory work of fiction . . . . Wickedly clever, yet respectful in its bold retelling, this is an inventive, immersive, and enthralling tale, reminding readers that written history rarely captures the whole story."
–SPR, Amazon.com
. . . a whole new slant on the life of Mary Magdalene and the ministry of Jesus . . . unexpected and delightful . . . [I]t has a magnificent twist at the end.”
–READER’S FAVORITE, Five-star review

For two thousand years, history hijacked her story, silenced her, called her a whore.
You think you know all about the man she spent her life with – Yeshua of Nazareth – but you don’t. Magda knew him, Magda loved him, Magda understood better than anyone else what he was trying to tell the world.
She wants to set the record straight. And she’s ready to tell her story, her truth about what happened in Judea all those years ago.
