Randall Christen

Randall Christen had been writing complex professional documents for decades, but once he retired in 2014 it allowed him to pursue his true passion, writing historically based mystery novels.
In his first offering, he has combined the research skills he has acquired over the past 25 years with a Creative Writing degree from Wisconsin to create a fascinating Historical Mystery novel, "The Carpenter's Chalice."
Driven by the personal need to convince audiences that the Holy Grail is the vessel that Christ drank from at the Last Supper and not Mary Magdalene, he has mined through centuries of historical information to show how the chalice could have logically moved through history from the Last Supper to London, circa 1950. In novel #2 of the Michael Turner trilogy, his main characters Turner and Melissa Pembury continue their cat and mouse game with the book sets main villain, Heinrich Himmler. With the surfacing of the Arc of the Covenant in book 2, the stakes rise to a whole new level as the pair urgently tries to penetrate the walls of the Vatican Archives in search of the Third Key, the one thing that can negate the Arc's power and determine the fate of man. Unnamed book 3,the final offering in the trilogy will be released in 2021.
