Just released on Amazon: Universal Translator.

A speculative fiction novel which expands upon the biblical account of the Tower of Babel and the confusion of languages. The reader is introduced to Emma Simms, a young woman with a natural understanding of all languages, including ancient, unknown scripts.

Dividing her time between her uncle’s café and the local museum, Emma is intrigued by a mysterious diner who shares an image of an ancient tablet with cryptic markings… markings she easily deciphers.

Her world is upended when she is suddenly thrust into a secret military program under the command of Colonel Jamison Maylach, an individual whose thoughts she seems to hear at the slightest of touch.

She soon learns that her mystery man is none other than Dr. Jacob Monroe, a controversial archaeologist whose theories of an ancient advanced civilization are rejected by his peers, despite mounting evidence of an unknown past.

Under the Sentinel Program, Emma and Jacob team up to decode the mysterious Hillah Scripts, a strange mixture of inscriptions spanning the walls of a hidden tunnel near the Babylon ruins of Iraq… inscriptions that only Emma can decipher.

More than a year in the making, Universal Translator touches on the Book of Enoch and the account of the Watchers, a group of fallen angels who corrupted mankind. Join Emma and Jacob as they journey across the globe to explore the ancient sites of Iraq. Together they discover an incredible history known to very few, and expose a powerful presence that threatens the future of mankind.
