I’m very excited to be almost ready to launch my first book, a collection of short stories. I’ve gotten my book back from my editor, received the cover from the graphic designer, and right now my stories are being reviewed and critiqued by my advanced reader team.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:
Once Upon This Time: Christ Centered Fairy Tales for Today
Sleepless Nights: The Princess and the Pea
Janet need a change of pace, and a job at a small town inn could be just the ticket. Jeremy want to have the love and family he sees others enjoying, but he doesn’t have a lot of faith that he’s ever going to find a woman who’s a true Daughter of the King. A mess up at a coffee shop will bring these two together, and what seems insignificant at the time could be the answer to both of their prayers.
Scarlet’s Journey: Little Red Riding Hood
Scarlet is a school teacher begrudgingly spending her spring break caring for her ailing mother. On the drive to her mom’s house, she encounters a wolf of a different kind that’s going to need to be slayed if she has any hope of making through the week. Growing into the woman God is calling her to be is going to require empathy, prayer, and a whole lot of patience.
Rose’s Awakening: Sleeping Beauty
Rose spends an inordinate amount of time sleeping. She’s tired of her parents worrying about her. She just wants her introverted self to be left alone. Her new coworker, Phil, is a little too energetic and outgoing for her likes, and he sure is persistent. Phil sees something in Rose that she doesn’t see herself. If only Phil can help Rose see her life in a different light.
Unmerited Love: Beauty and the Beast
Hope and John knew foster parenting wouldn’t be easy. For months, Hope has been pouring into an angry pre-teen, and her cup is running dry. How could following God’s call not yield positive results? Turning to the scriptures, Hope discovers a truth that we all need to learn.
Masquerading at the Ball: Cinderella
Kimberly’s life as a single working mother isn’t particularly glamorous, and it certainly doesn’t come with much praise. When she meets Henry at a work event, she figures it’d be best to walk away before she starts imagining a life that can never be. But Henry didn’t become CEO without knowing how to go after what he wants.
This collection of stories will be available this winter.
