Promotional cover copy.

Written by Sarah Southerland at BookSurge to promote the book. I am so impressed how she captured the essence of the message.

"Savvy, sexy and full of satire, Sex on the Altar by Wencke Braathen is first in the Adventures of Sam and Emily series that pushes the buttons of religiosity and creates heroes and heroines of a few formidable cultural deities and a hapless, unsuspecting middle-aged couple from Chicago. In this wildly original debut fiction, the author boldly blends genres such as new age fantasy, science fiction, and adventure with the wit and irony of a classic humorist. The thing is, God has a problem. No one cares anymore, which has drained the lifeblood from the Queen of Heaven who had been sucked into the depths of the Earth. God asks the Ancient Egyptian goddess Isis to help bring her back. With a half smile, Isis knowingly chooses Emily, who develops a relationship with Sam. Through their passion, which is literally a gift from the gods, their love-making awakens the Queen, and the wheels of change are set in motion."

This made me want to check out the book.

Sex on the Altar

Yes, that's the title.

This is the first novel in a series called "Adventures of Sam and Emily". It will be available on Amazon this summer.

This book was created parallell with the larger historic novel I've been working on.
I was writing about Mary Magdalene and her life, and as I got deeper into her message, her message got to me.

So did the immense sense of humor of the Gods.

Hence this book.

It has been described as a hilarious romp between religious concepts, mythology, sexuality and fantasy. It had to have an outragous title. So laugh.

And buy the book.
