SHADOW  

Shadow725About SHADOW:

The Shadow was watching her again. Sophie Diem could not see him. She could not prove he was there. She could never prove that he was there. But she constantly felt his eyes.

Sometimes he would approach. On those occasions she tried to run. Running was pointless, though. He would always return. And he would always ask the same question−over and over and over…

Where is Nathan Bethard?

Sophie’s boss has skipped town, abandoning their counseling firm. Now a stranger is stalking her. In an attempt to flee the man, she seeks a new job…in London. Surely crossing the Atlantic will be enough to deter her shadow.

The Clockwork Mechanical  

THE_CLOCKWORK_MECHANICAL_1000About The Clockwork Mechanical:

Eleven-year-old Brad Millner’s got a problem.

For starters, he’s lost his memory. He can’t even remember his own name. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he’s stranded on a space station. A space station that’s going to crash into the earth in less than one hour and kill millions of people.

That means Brad’s got less than an hour to disable the space station’s force field so that it burns up when it enters the earth’s atmosphere. The only catch is that a terrible Clockwork Mechanical – the living machine that is behind the diabolical plan to destroy the world – is out to get him.

Join Brad on his frantic quest to disable the space station’s force field generator and save the world. See him team up with some unlikely companions – a swarm of little clockwork butterflies, a mechanical spider, and a girl with ADHD – as he tries to outsmart the Clockwork Mechanical.

The Clockwork Mechanical is a children’s chapter book for ages 7 to 11, and has 88 pages.

Echo by Tracie Roberts  

ECHO-cover-for-adAbout Echo by Tracie Roberts:

He’s the one she’s been dreaming of… but is he the one she’s destined to be with?

Tara McAllister has her life figured out: graduate from college, get a job teaching at her old high school, and find a boyfriend that won’t care that she’s a practicing witch. Everything is falling into place…until the visions begin. Tara’s practice has given her a gift–she sees the future. And for her, it includes a gorgeous man that she’s never met but definitely knows. She can feel it. Now all she has to do is find him.

Derek Williams just wants to get by. He goes to school, works to help support his family, and enjoys the occasional party with his friends—as long as his gift doesn’t create a problem. Derek is an empath, born to feel what others feel and able to change their emotions with a touch. His inherited gift comes with an added benefit—the ability to find his soul mate, the one person he’s meant to be with. And he’s found her; he just has to convince her of their connection.

As their relationship heats up and their abilities grow stronger, Tara and Derek must overcome the objection of family and friends, the advances of former flames, and a secret that could ruin them both—if their love is to survive.

The day he enters those fields, his life is set in an incredible motion. Here he would learn to listen to the voices of plants and rivers and forests and ultimately of silence.

I’m ReGina Welling. My mom always said I was born knowing how to read and while that might be a stretch, it feels like the ability just seeped into my pores and made itself at home. Naturally, that love of books translated into a love of writing. For my first series, I’m writing romance books with a paranormal element.

A transplanted Mainer, I currently live in Central New York with my
husband and am owned by Fritzie, my Jack Russell Terrier–or at least he seems to think so! He’s such a little character that he actually ended up in the second book of the series.

Ancient Enemy by Mark Lukens  

AncientEnemy2-from-DamonAbout Ancient Enemy by Mark Lukens:

Ancient Enemy – it’s been asleep for centuries and now it’s awake. It wants things … and you have to give it what it wants …

Seven hundred years ago the Anasazi people built massive cities in what is now the Southwestern United States … and then they vanished.

Stella, an archaeologist specializing in Anasazi culture, and David, a mysterious Navajo boy, are on the run from something terrifying. As they flee up into the snowy mountains of Colorado, they are carjacked by criminals escaping a botched bank robbery. Caught in a blizzard, they must take refuge in what they believe is an abandoned cabin. It’s at this cabin that they will face horrors beyond their imagination.

Spiritual Growth: Trusting God – Why His Plan Is Better Than Ours  

Trusting-God-Cover-KindleAbout Spiritual Growth: Trusting God – Why His Plan Is Better Than Ours:

We, as humans, go through seasons in our lives as God works, grows, and teaches us. I personally believe I do my best writing when I write about what is currently going on around me—when I write about a season that I am currently in.

In this particular case, I knew I was in the midst of a season of learning to trust God in a BIG way. He was challenging and testing me, seeing what I wanted to do. Ultimately I had to make a decision. Fortunately, that decision was to follow God in whatever direction He pointed me in, even though it required a massive amount of trust.

We as Christians need to understand the importance of trust and all that it entails. This means learning both the requirements and ramifications of fully committing to God.

Sure, we love the idea of faith, but what do we really do when the going gets tough? When the finances stop flowing, our relationships are struggling, or our health isn’t perfect, what do we do? Do we trust God, or do we begin to back away and blame Him?

The truth is that it’s incredibly easy to trust the Lord when the waters are calm, when everything around us is going well. But the true test of our relationship with Him comes when the storm hits, when the waves crash down on us and everything is out of control. This is when it is the most crucial that we run to Him and trust that His plan is better than ours.

It is not easy. It will require you to become weak. However, that’s the beauty of Christ. For when I am weak, He is strong.

Author Bio:
Though Jacob is younger than most, his wisdom extends far beyond his years. Spending much of his youth as a Missionary Kid (or MK) in Chonburi, Thailand, Jacob was forced from his innocence at an age far to young. Engulfed by the dark, sadistic world of the Sex Trade, while also trying to make sense of life as a teenager. Jacob turned to anything and everything he could to survive.

Trapped by a world he wanted no part of, battling feverishly against the dark forces of severe depression and anxiety, Jacob finally turned to the one who would finally give him hope. Jesus Christ.

Though a Christian from birth, Jacob had yet to truly comprehend and understand what following Jesus truly mean’t. It wasn’t until he was forced into weakness that he was truly able to experience the strength of the Father.

Now, back living in Canada with his family and adopted Thai brother, Jacob see’s and experiences life differently. Though life gets tough, and becomes much more than we can ever bare on our own, Jacob has learned the secret that we all crave to know.

What is it you may ask?

Simple. Run to Jesus! Whenever and whatever the problem, run to our Lord! And He will embrace you with His loving arms, for He is a good God.

What Survives of Us by Kathy Miner  

High-resolution-coverAbout What Survives of Us by Kathy Miner:

Naomi sees her first corpse in a Colorado Springs grocery store, but it won’t be her last. With devastating speed, a plague sweeps first the city, then the state, then the world, leaving less than 1% of the population to go on. Naomi, a gentle and sheltered housewife, finds herself fighting for survival in a world populated by desperate people, where might-makes-right, and mercy and compassion are in short supply. Fellow survivors Jack, a youth minister from Woodland Park; Grace, a 17-year-old high school student from Limon; and Naomi’s daughter Piper, a student at the University of Northern Colorado, all find themselves searching for a safe path forward…because it’s not just the world that has changed.

The plague that decimates the human race also pushes mankind into evolutionary change. Those who survive are different, profoundly so, in ways they are just beginning to comprehend. As Naomi struggles to protect and reunite what’s left of her family, she must also learn to understand and accept the changes in herself. In this strange new world, her survival, and the survival of those she loves, depends on it.
