Coming Soon: Mercy Springs, A Republic of Texas Novel


Here's a sneak peek at the back copy of my new (and first) novel.

 TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
In the wake of the economic disaster known as The Collapse, two countries rise from the ashes of the former United States:  Unified Socialist America and The Republic of Texas. 

A NEW HOME
After personal and professional tragedy, physician midwife Cora Thomas flees the Missouri District of America, seeking asylum and safety in the idyllic Texas town of Cotton Springs.  She hopes the quaint community is a new beginning, a place to heal and plant roots.
A home where she is not an underground Christian living in fear for her life. 

TIME FOR HEALING
A logging accident leaves Cotton Springs’ prodigal son, Ben Tucker, in the care of the feisty new red-headed doctor.  The attraction is undeniable and unexpected.  But his rejection of God’s existence and Cora’s unshakable faith collide, leaving him with more questions than answers.  And a heart desperately in need of healing.

NEED FOR VENGEANCE
Missouri District deputy Gordon Wilkes is on a witch hunt.  He holds Cora accountable for the death of his wife in childbirth.  And no border will stop him from exacting his revenge.

Mercy Springs is coming soon in print and on Amazon for Kindle!

Who is the Captain of Your Ship?

Image
God asked me a question today: Am I the Captain of your ship? "Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take." Proverbs 3:6 We are all afloat in troubled waters. Our journeys differ, but the destination remains the same for us all: The Choice. At the end of our life, our quest upon the seas, we arrive at the port of eternity - with God, or without Him. Many have chosen His Way, and it is to you that I write today. You have made God your Lord, but have you allowed Him to captain your ship? The world's oceans run deep and dark, filled with immeasurable joy and fathomless pain. Without God at the helm to decide our headings, we float adrift. The wind grabs our sails and says, "Go this way." It's often too late that we realize the coaxing winds are tossing us into the hurricane. We desperately need a Captain to guide the way, to say No  to the sinful winds and the storms of the self-righteous. The world tells us to set our ow

On Being Pruned

Image
I find it incredibly painful to be pruned.  To work so hard in my faith, to grow and produce fruit that will please my Father, only to experience something that knocks me off my feet.  I have to think that's what Jesus meant in John 15:1-2.  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it will be even more fruitful." As a follower of Jesus, my King of Kings, I continually strive to remain close to Him in all things.  And, of course, I fail miserably because I'm still a sinful and willfully disobedient child.  But for the most part I attempt to live my life in a way that is pleasing to God, and will somehow further His kingdom. Many times, during trials in my life, I find myself asking God why this is happening to me.  What have I done to deserve this?  Haven't I been good and faithful?  (I promise, this is the part where God remin

Five Questions with ... JAYNA MORROW

Image
In what I hope to become a continued feature on my blog, I'm interviewing fellow authors (both indie and traditionally published) with the purpose of getting to know them better and branch out this writing and reading tree.  Today we get to meet ... Jayna Morrow. Jayna and I share a lot in common, the least of which is writing.  She is a mother of two precious little girls, and an educator of young minds.  We both hail from east Texas and share a love of the simple life.  I have enjoyed reading her Sweet Home, Texas  series, an inspirational sweet romance set in the fictional town of Sweet Home. Professionally speaking, Jayna continues to make a name for herself.  As I mentioned before, she is the author of the Sweet Home, Texas series of books published by Prism Book Group .  She has also written numerous sweet contemporary and inspirational romances, contributed a short read to a Prism Book Group author compilation (A Blizzard Wedding), created several resources for
