Did you always know that you wanted to write the trilogy, Upper Room?
L J:
No, several decades ago I had several novels and books in mind to write. However, Upper Room did not list among them.
Publisher:
When did you finally know, you would write Upper Room, The Way?
L J:
I am not completely positive. All I remember is that I just started writing on the first day of July 2010 and I knew. Why, how, or what caused me to start, I didn’t know at the time. I had years and years of data in front of me on the Shroud of Turin and at that moment, I knew the proof existed to confirm what I felt so many decades before when I first saw a photograph of the Shroud. At the time I first saw the Shroud image, which just showed the face, the Shroud had yet to make a headline or any news. No tests or studies where done and I had no prior knowledge of what I was looking at, but I knew. Thus, my decades of following all the research and studies done on the Shroud of Turin.

You stated that when you started writing Upper Room, you did not know the reason to cause you to write. Do you know now?
L J:
Yes, readers will learn more about that in the final book of the trilogy. Nevertheless, this is not about me. This is about what happened two thousand years ago for all of us today.
