    About this ebook

    What is written must be fulfilled... "He was counted among the lawless."
    It's Friday. Three men hang on crosses. Two are criminals. One, the Son of God. Witness the day of Jesus' crucifixion through the eyes of the thief who asked Jesus to simply remember him.

    This dynamic and emotional monologue is perfect for an Easter service or simply to share the story of Christ's crucifixion and love for us. (Average performance time is 15-18 minutes depending on the actor.) No royalties required for performances.

    Author

    Geno Allen

    An author with a keen heart for story, Geno Allen has been a writer and performer of skits, poems, songs, and radio plays for much of his life. Now, as he and his wife are preparing to start a family, he turns his hand to novel writing. This up and coming author crafts worlds that engage the reader and draw them into adventure—and into a landscape peopled with characters who work their way into your heart and stay with you long after the story has ended. Geno spent his formative years first in the rural outskirts of a small town in Oregon and then in a suburban desert of Southern California. The woods, hills, rivers, rocks, and pavement he explored served as fertile soil to his ever-growing imagination. When he wasn’t slaying fictitious dragons, crafting worlds all his own, or hamming it up with any number of character voices, he was busy playing bass guitar for his local church, and forging (from sticks) all manner of medieval weaponry—and a pair of nunchucks. Today he’s looking forward to his greatest adventure yet... novel-writing-husband-and-father. For more about Geno Allen visit www.genowrites.blogspot.com.
