New Novel: The Scarab and the Cross by Andy Garza

PENSACOLA, Fla. - March 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Energion Publications announces the release of a new book, The Scarab and the Cross by new author, Andy Garza. In Garza's story of Onofrio, young vagabond field hand from parts unknown, Onofrio could be any man who found himself in chains in Judea. But many wise men have testified that there is a divine destiny for every person and Onofrio's life was about to intersect with a Nazarene carpentar. The focus of the book is not on the Nazarene but on what could be happening in the "everyday" life of people living and working in Jerusalem in this time and during the events.

The Scarab and the Cross is Andy Garza's first publication with Energion but he has written and illustrated six instructional manuals to help produce professional florists. He also wrote and illustrated five children's story books, then three romance novels and even a religious sci-fi novel.

Andy Garza started his journey of destiny by being forced to drop out of high school, but knowing his hunger for knowledge, his mom urged him to never stop reading. And so the world became his classroom. Newspapers, magazines and books were all digestible material for him. He began as a floral delivery boy but soon became a designer. His artistic ability won him the title of Master Florist. People came to him for floral design lessons and his own school materialized. He and his wife live in Texas.

The Scarab and the Cross is available from Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and via Energion Direct (https://energiondirect.com/fiction/the-scarab-and-the-cross).
