Ron is finishing work on his new novel, Purple Jesus. 

Purple Jesus presents three unlikely characters--a directionless, delusional young man, a determined, but powerless young woman, a silent, angst-ridden monk--who are drawn together by fateful shifts in geography and chance.  Murder mystery, love story, religious allegory, in Purple Jesus, Ron continues to explore complex philosophical ideas through disparate, desperate characters.
