Don Tillman
I have always been a dreamer - an unsettled dreamer - a wandering soul searching for its place in time and space. I've never been satisfied living a traditional life in a traditional way. Due to this, I have experienced life in ways others have only imagined, or not. Perhaps a fantasy world is a good place for a writer to live anyway.

I am captivated by little known people who make big differences. The biblical character Tychicus was such a man. Having lived mid to late first century in western Asia, he joined the Apostle Paul and company in Ephesus to continue Paul’s 3rd missionary journey and beyond. Tychicus eventually carried Paul’s letters from Rome to the Christian churches at Ephesus and Colossae, to Philemon, and perhaps others. History sees him later serving as bishop of various churches, including that of Chalcedon. Chalcedon was a suburb of Constantinople (modern Istanbul), which became the eventual, but temporary, home of the Roman Church, and birthplace of the Eastern Orthodox Church. I’ve wondered about the influence Tychicus must have had on those world-shaping occurrences. This story is set within the fascinating history of the mid 1st century A.D., centered around a character mentioned only five times in Scripture, but known to have shaped the curve of history from that time forward.
