about me

Hi, thanks for taking a moment to check out my profile. I'm not as active reader as I used to be, my time is spent like most of us, working and writing (and finishing my second degree). I also have an active family, so the other free moments are spent with my wife and kids

My interest is in the area of fiction and non-fiction world and religious history and the "What If" scenarios.

My first manuscript, "Thieves" is complete and I'm working on several other titles, including outlining a screenplay idea. Thieves is about second chances and the opportunity of a life time to witness one of the most significant event known to man. I ask you this one simple but complex question; If you had a chance to travel back in time, what time period or event would you want to witness or be a part of? Not a easily answered question considering that you will not be able to travel back to your previous time. So the decision you make has to be something you would consider to be the most significant event to you, since you will not be able to come back.

So that question is really for the true historians, thrill junkies and risk takers. Yes, I consider myself in all three of these catagories.

More information about myself can be found on my personal web page and I have a Facebook page which can be found below.

Special thanks to my niece Lisa Barbero, who provided the cover art for my novel "Thieves"

Thieves

Robert Crawson

A second chance for a priest going through a midlife crisis requires risking everything to witness the most significant event in religious history.


James Foster is a middle-aged Catholic Priest who’s going through a midlife crisis. With unsubstantiated allegations of misconduct shadowing him, James reluctantly takes the advice of his Bishop. Take a temporary teaching assignment at the local university before things turn against him with his congregation.

This is the best course of action the Bishop recommends, as the Archdiocese continues to receive news about sexual misconduct charges.

Upon James arrival in his new position, he befriends Professor Frank Javan. Through a lifetime of scientific study and successful experimentations, Frank has finally perfected a machine that allows him to jump back in time. However the machine only works one-way.

Faced with the reality that his new friend will take the next step and conduct a final test that sends him on a one way trip back in time, James has to consider staying behind and trying to explain Frank’s disappearance or go with him. The question is what is the one event that is worth risking everything for? The resurrection of Christ.

Steve That is definitely a plausible scenario (I like that). However, I would have to re-write a lot, perhaps in the sequel. view book

This really good work, interesting plot and nice character voice, love the character Damian. The subtle transition that takes place at the end of chapter 14 is nice. The intensity builds from each chapter. Keep writing. Need more! view book
