There are several new releases for the month of October, but just a couple pique my interest. John Otte’s latest addition to his Failstate series is a must read–I just hope I get to it before one of my kids or my husband. We tend to fight over John’s books. 😉 And I really enjoyed Patricia Bradley’s debut novel, Shadows …

Gone With the Wind on the Big Screen!
It’s no secret that I love seeing movies on the big screen. I love the atmosphere, the surround sound, the comfort. Plus, watching a movie uninterrupted by the phone or family members is always a luxury. (Oh, and I enjoy movie theater popcorn too, btw.) So, when I learned that Gone With the Wind was celebrating its 75th Anniversary by showing …

Debut Series Observations
Before I share some of my observations from the 2014 Debut Christian Fiction series, I realized there’s one important novel I neglected to mention: my own! CHAIN OF MERCY released in April and has received very generous reviews so far. Readers have described it as “gripping” “a must read” “gritty” “awesome” “authentic” “not like other books” “mesmerizing” just to throw out a …
2014 Debut Christian Fiction, Part 9
When I dreamed up this series several weeks ago, I never imagined I would need nine posts to complete. As it is, I could easily have stretched it out, but I think it’s time to move on. Now that I know what to expect from debut authors, I’ve decided to make this a once per month post, starting in January. …
2014 Debut Christian Fiction, Part 8
FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, AND CHOCOLATE by Cari Schaeffer Run, run, run… Run away. That’s what Faith Strauss has done for twenty years. She was destroyed by one tragic event. An event so horrific, she didn’t share it with anyone, not even her husband. She buried it deep inside, where it can’t hurt anyone. If God is good, then where was …
2014 Debut Christian Fiction, Part 7
Whew. Six parts done, and three (counting today) yet to come! What’s been especially fun during the past couple of weeks is meeting the new authors, seeing their excitement, and encouraging them on this new journey. Thank you, readers, for joining and sticking with us through this series. I hope you continue to stop by, and please support the debut …
2014 Debut Christian Fiction, Part 6
My list of debut fiction just seems to keep growing. Initial plans had been to run a short series with three, maybe four books per day. Then that series grew into a month, and the number of books featured rose to five. Now I’ve discovered another new author, so today’s post will spotlight six books. And I know I’ve missed …
