BLURB: In Acts 27, Paul is shipwrecked off the island of Malta and swims to shore and safety. He spends time with the people there and leaves them the gift of Christianity. The people of Malta still comprise one of the most solidly Catholic nations in the world.

All of us become shipwrecked at some point in our lives, lost and uncertain of a direction. If we are fortunate, like he did for Paul, God will provide a shelter from the storm by lifting us off the rocks.  That refuge is a time for self-reflection and acceptance. It may also be a turning point, that moment when we commit to give back. How?  By connecting with and fulfilling our purpose in this life. And as we do, we just may lift up another’s life.

Read , enjoy and discover what happens when you are Lifted off the Rocks

Coming soon to print and ebook!

BLURB: Jeremiah Milk lived a life filled with emotional extremes.  Amniotic band syndrome—a congenital condition—left his fingers and toes malformed. Ridiculed as a child, he became an adolescent hermit. As an adult, Jeremiah’s wounds healed when he landed a position as a park ranger and married a woman who loved him despite his physical appearance. But fate ripped his life to shreds when his wife and infant son died on the same night in separate calamities. Shortly thereafter, the tides turned once more as an act of Jeremiah’s ostensible benevolence translates into a financial boon. The book on Jeremiah’s life closes without mercy when he’s found murdered at Tripping Falls State Park.

Damon Lassard—Hollydale’s loveable civic leader, amateur sleuth, and Jeremiah’s neighbor—springs into action. He’s obstructed by a prickly lieutenant, but wriggles information unknown to the police from a colorful bevy of suspects. Aided by his best friend Rebecca and his reluctant ally Detective Gerry Sloman, Damon engineers a deep dive into Jeremiah’s past to solve the crime. Along the way, Damon strengthens his relationship with the breathtaking Bethany Krims, cracks a local horticultural mystery, and tries in vain to tame his wickedly sarcastic mother.

Join Damon Lassard in his latest adventure, Don’t Cry Over Killed Milk.

The new cover for author Kristin Decker’s “The Unveiling: An American Teacher in a Saudi Palace“

*****

BLURB: “Teach my children to think!” exclaimed the young princess. “They’ve had enough facts, facts and more facts stuffed into their heads.” She dreamed that her children would be able to speak and negotiate with leaders of countries from around the world as they assumed their eventual roles in leadership. She also realized that an American education was consistent with her Islamic faith stating that American schools taught students how to think without telling them what to think.

My husband and I eagerly accepted positions as private tutors for this visionary princess in Saudi Arabia. She dreamed of providing the  best education possible for her children and secretly opened a private school. We championed her dreams as if they were our own. However, a year later, we encountered a medieval system of palace intrigue and subterfuge. Under threat of imprisonment, we were detained and coerced into signing false statements. Would God’s deliverance come in time or would we be forgotten and imprisoned in a foreign land? Journey with us to the center of the human heart and to the mysterious Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where the shifting sands are full of dreams, intrigue and revenge.

Need a Pre-made Cover?

by | Jul 2, 2013 | ,

Pre-made covers can be an authors best friend, especially when you are in a time crunch. A lot of designers offer various designs at various pricing, the problem is, finding these designers!

If you’ve wandered around my site at all, you know I offer a handful of pre-made covers that gets updated periodically. Unfortunately I don’t have the time I’d like to make lots and lots of pre-mades, nor do a lot of other designers, being busy with all the custom designs and what not.

So a close knit group of us, who have been working together as friends (helping each other out behind the scenes, teaching and learning, or just plain venting) got together to create a one stop spot to show off our pre-made covers that are available for sale. We’ve created a facebook page called the Cover Art Collective. Each designer has their own Album you can browse through, containing all the information you need to purchase.  Not something there you are looking for? Find the designer that fits the style you are looking for and contact them about a custom made cover!

Currently there are designs from a dozen different designers, ranging from Romance, to Science Fiction, to Thrillers, and more added all the time!

Come check it out and “like” the page to keep up to date!
