Pressbox (Press Release) - A Brief History of Hell
-New Novel Will Change Your (After)Life

(LONG ISLAND, New York) For as long as Heaven and Hell have dominated the
minds of humanity, Heaven and Hell have been at war. Keith Rommel tackles
the timeless question “why?” in "Spirit of Independence," a rollicking,
outlandish novel that will change your (after)life. Like Jorge Luis Borges
or Anne Rice, Rommel uses the techniques of the mystery writer, fantasy writer and philosopher to unveil the chaotic spiritual world around us.

The murder of Travis Winter during World War II was a shock, but a greater
shock was discovering the motive: Heaven drafted Travis to serve as a
celestial warrior called the Spirit of Independence. But the Devil
himself—a saddened creature who begs only to be heard—confronts Travis.
Travis rejects the Devil’s plea for understanding and launches a 50-year
odyssey to uncover the true reasons Heaven and Hell war. Now, in the
present day, Travis turns to you—the reader—to share his recent and
extraordinary revelations that will forever change the way you view the
battling kingdoms of Heaven and Hell.

Is the devil really just a struggling utopian idealist, who wants to solve
the wrongs of the world? Is God really a detached, arrogant figure, whose
fickle interest in humanity is at the source of human struggle? “I wanted
to explore the belief of everyday people from all walks of life, and who
believe in all types of religions,” said Rommel. “The experiences were
quite wonderful, and if you dig deep enough into the storyline you can find
that!”

"Spirit of Independence" is book one in the Spirit Chronicles, which will be
followed by Repentance, book two of the Spirit Chronicles to be available
this summer.
