Atone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979879203)

Cody Louis Ray Pope was born in the summer of 1978, the third of three children. Often perceived as an odd child he grew to an unusual youth. As a youth he often spoke of other entities, from a more mythic age. It wasn't until middle school that he discovered that these things he conversed with were Greek gods. Since then he studied many things lost by modern times, including witchcraft. His rebelious angst against a God that allowed things to be hidden was curbed by his mother as she challenged him to read the bible, to know his enemy. Finding none within he realized it wasn't God that restricted him. Since then he has angled his research into finding the common threads found throughout religion in a foolhardy attempt to bring some peace, if only in his mind. His first book reflects the questions he had on his religious journey and continues to create stories that he hopes will make people question what the truth really is.
