Zachary Bartels has released his debut novel, Playing Saint. If you’re a fan of suspense and mystery then you’ll want to give Zachary a try. Playing Saint is already garning some nice praise:“A thought-provoking exploration into the power of faith and the reality of evil. Filled with memorable characters and tight writing, Playing Saint is an impressive debut from an author to watch.” —Steven James, bestselling author of Placebo and The QueenI’m happy to have Zachary here to share a bit about his book.
