About A Jealous God
A Jealous God (Booksurge, 206 pp. $14.99) is a provocative thriller featuring high-powered attorney and native of Richmond, Texas, Emma who struggles to recover from the death of her deformed newborn by trading grief for revenge. As she searches for the cause of her tragedy, she finds a searing mystery that will make the reader question everything they ever thought they knew about free will.

Wilbur writes with page-turning intensity, keeping the reader guessing until the last shocking scenes. Seamlessly meshing together the details of modern fertility technology with the intricacies of small-town Texas relationships, A Jealous God asks whether we have the power to right the wrongs of those who came before us.

What Others Are Saying
"A Jealous God…dishes up a fast-paced mix of mystery and intrigue, while the characters deftly portray the nuances of loyalty, honesty, and avarice that make for great reading. At the same time, the author gives stunning life to the urgency of the Second of the Ten Commandments, which warns us that the sins of the fathers are ultimately visited up their children by the judgmental hand of a jealous God."
Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times best selling author

"Dive into this story . . . It is a thought provoking formula that will haunt your daydreams. Then finally, share this book with a friend."
Herman Brune, National Award-Winning Author
