Description
As a young man, Dion Athamas was spiritually summoned to rapture then tenured god status. He had been endowed with all the benedictions to achieve sacredness: a devout flock, the power to heal and a covet for control. He also held a deep desire and ability to influence justice and universal liberty. The setting: the fictional town of Forgedmont, Mississippi, in the 1950s. Against great opposition he strived to become a new-age god; the earth was his oracle. He found faith-based conviction to be lacking in reason and truth. He chose to maintain an instinctive path to holiness. Regrettably for him and his followers, there were a great many roadblocks. He was forced to face off against the church, community, prejudice, family and scheming dreams influenced by fallacious spirits, all set forth to hamper his ascension to divinity.

Person
Don Hackett is the author of A LESSER GOD and STRANGE PERSPECTIVES. His degrees in Sociology, Psychology and Special Education led him to a career working with special needs individuals. The more time he spent working in this field, the more he became interested in the natural altruistic tendencies of mankind, and the lack of them. He took the behaviors he witnessed and matched them against current social constructs. This approach to understanding the human condition worked to allow him to look deeply at not only the good in mankind, but to even a greater extent at the harshness of humanity. His tendency to look at human behavior in an analytical fashion is the basis of his writing style. Man's inhumanity to man is a recurring theme in his writing. He is an existentialist writer by definition but he prefers to be known as a writer of alternative prose.https://www.facebook.com/donhackettauthor
