The Doomed Disciple God Doesn't Write Tragic Endings

The story of Judas Iscariot has been told a thousand times. He is remembered with pity – or more often, disdain and contempt. Often compared to Satan himself, the name of Judas is one that conjures images of despair and ruin. The story of Judas is a story of hopelessness: The story of a villain destined for doom.
This is not that story.
This is not about the lost sheep.
This is about the Shepherd.
This is not the story of Judas the villain, who plotted to betray his Master for greed. This is not the story of Judas the man, who was placed on the brink of greatness and made a horrible choice. This is not a story of failure, though Judas failed in every way. This is not the story of the man who failed. This is the story of the Man who came to save him.

Paul Campbell is the author of "Grayscale," the first book of a historical fantasy series called The Callahan Chronicles; "The Doomed Disciple," a novel based on Judas Iscariot; and several free short stories available on his website. Like most authors, Paul enjoys overused tropes like drinking coffee, reading mystery novels, playing a musical instrument, and writing about himself in the third person. He also has less popular hobbies like origami, designing Lego® models, and keeping the squirrels off his flying machine - which he hasn't flown since that fateful crash.
