About Armen's Book  This book was a challenge for me -- and a welcome one -- because it was my first mix of fiction and contemporary philosophy. I finally got to use all of that philosophical education I received at TCU in a new and creative way as Armen critiqued conventional Western religions in light of modern science and philosophy within the framework of a novel. Journey to Virginland is available on Amazon. |
