Where did Megachrist.com idea come from?

I had first had the idea for Megachrist.com as a scam for starting an Internet religion. At the time I was a director of a web hosting company so I got the domain name. 

I also had wonga.com, but I lost it as someone in the company didn’t renew it. Anyway even though, starting an Internet religion, seemed like a great idea. I had the idea at the time for printing the Gospel on a Tee Shirt and for their being a Million messiah’s, which where created by the Holy Ghost. Nothing happened.

Later I started writing movie scripts and I thought the idea of Megachrist.com, where someone starts a religion on the Internet, would make a great idea for a script.

I changed the main character from me, to Kate. The other idea I had was using the structure from Charles Dickens Scrooge.

So in the script, Kate meets Moses, who tells her God has chosen her to spread the word and she will meet the spirits of three Prophets, who will guide her, Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad. the script did get optioned by Xingu Films, a company of Trudie Styler’s, but they never picked up the option.

So later I turned the movie script into a novel, but it was too short. I added a book that Kate was writing into the novel. I also added another script I had called The Black Arts into the Novel, it is being written by Kate’s boyfriend. Phil, who is named after Philip K Dick and is a science fiction writer. In fact he sometimes believes that he is Philip K Dick... and he has somehow got time-shifted into a black iron prison in Roman times.

So that is how Megachrist.com Ebook came to be, if you have read this far you should go read the book and let me know what you think, if you like it. 

If you hate it, I’m not really interested in hearing about it. Move go write your own book and ask me what I think of it... you know I’m going to hate it, right?
