The Boston Globe has an article today that points out that Stephenie Meyer is just one of a growing group of Mormon writers that focus on young adult fiction.
That Mormon writers have come to loom large in an increasingly popular literary genre can be linked to several unique characteristics of their faith and culture: an aversion to the sex and swearing that prevails in adult fiction, a propensity for large families that often means a child-focused life, and an affinity for fantasy writing.
In a time when bedtime stories consist of SpongeBob Square pants and Mickey Mouse, Merzapamed comes sneaking in to relight the fire of excellent tales. The Prince of Dore is amazingly
refreshing and holds true to being a readaptation of ancient mythos in Assyrian culture. The book is fantastic. I will read this book to my children and my children’s children. The morals are
appreciated and the action is fun. The book flows like water and creates a storyline that is wonderful and easy to read and enjoy. I highly suggest the purchase of this book for all who love
fantasy and adventure.
This is the first Mormon man from Assyrian/Chaldean write art in printed form. It is the first love story that portrays Assyrian/Chaldean values in the history of the world, respect and family
honor at its very best. The title is “Merzapamed, Prince of Dore” written by Marty Farnsworth and Romeo Eshalom.
It is the first never published any time in this world cultures before in this world.
Dear Sister,
Romeo Newton Eshalom was a Lieutenant Colonel in Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army. He was born and raised in Iraq and suffered many hardships because of Christian beliefs. Even when he was placed in positions of judgment and authority, his ethics showed through and caused some to benefit from his heritage. He listened at his grandfather’s feet as his grandfather told many stories in his master-storyteller ways; it was in a time before television, and the stories could be seen vividly, each with morality woven into it. He remembered these tales as he grew up. After Romeo moved to Phoenix, he worked on and completed his master’s degree in engineering. During this time, his friendship with Marty Farnsworth blossomed, and the two collaborated extensively on several screenplays. Romeo lives in Phoenix with his family.

It would be an honor if you decided to read my book and it would be my pleasure to send you a copy if you were to forward me your address. If you would like to write a review or support the first book in history of the Assyrian and Babylonian in the world, it will be very nice and kind. I would be open to your suggestions and guidance as far as the best method in which to promote the book.
God bless you and your family,
Romeo
