Light Upon You is a narrative history of the tomb of the apostle Peter, told from the perspective of a church mouse.

After becoming trapped inside the tomb, the mouse joins the ranks of the Lares, ancient Rome’s guardian deities, and bears witness to all that follows: hidden passageways, ravaging invaders, the wrath of a Pope, and a buried secret unearthed by a careful archaeologist.

An exhaustively researched account, the events and characters are knit from dozens of historical sources including second-century Pagan funerary inscriptions, medieval writings, the Liber Pontificalis (Book of the Popes), Papal letters, newspaper articles, Vatican archaeological records and modern academic research.   

Weaving historical facts into a rich tapestry of imagery, Light Upon You is not just about the bones of a fisherman, but a spellbinding story about tradition and reason, and about finding companionship and solace in the most unlikely of places.
