Chatting with Author Alice Wisler
***Book Giveaway*** See contest rules below ~*~*~ Alice Wisler is one of those gifted authors who could write in any genre, and I would love her works.

Novel Anticipation, November 2014
UNDER THE SILK HIBISCUS by Alice J. Wisler Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas Alice Wisler is one of those gifted authors who could write about Amish Zombies on Mars and make it a page-turning, emotive story. I LOVED her Still Life in Shadows novel, and I never pick up bonnet books. Under the Silk Hibiscus takes the reader back to World War II, …
A Peek at Pieces of Granite
In less than a month, Pieces of Granite will finally release! Woo hoo! I can’t wait! Until then, I thought you’d enjoy a teaser or two, so every week I’ll give you a little taste of a book that’s very dear to me. Probably the best teaser I can give you is a glimpse inside the book itself. In 2012, …
Getting to Know Author Mari Keisling
*** Book Giveaway *** See contest rules below ~*~*~ One of the great joys of being a writer is the doors it opens to meeting and encouraging other authors.

Novel Anticipation, October 2014
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 …
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 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 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 …
