I’m thankful for readers!

So from now until Thanksgiving Day, I have two free gifts (both developed by Stacy Oliver of Christian Book Preview) for readers who enjoy The Restorer-Expanded Edition.

1. FREE – A beautiful 36-page in-depth literary guide (great tool for homeschoolers who are using the book – or for book group discussions)

2. FREE – A fun party planner with creative ideas for a book club gathering or a Restorer-themed party.

Just share online about something that inspired or encouraged you about The Restorer, or something you particularly enjoy in the new expanded edition. Then email me through my website contact page with a link to where you’ve shared, and I’ll send you the down-loadable booklets via email.

You can post at:

Amazon

or

Barnes and Noble

or at Goodreads or Shelfari, or on your own blog.

So jump on in! Post your thoughts online and send me the link, so I can send your gift. I’m giving thanks for every time God has used this new edition to inspire or encourage a reader…and giving thanks for the readers who share the land of Lyric and Braide Wood with me.

Blessings!

And these two drawings of Kieran are by Elizabeth Wallace. I love the depiction of the scene of Kieran losing his sword fight with the One.

My heart was warmed recently by the gift of art work from some young readers of the Restorer books.

Tristan and Kendra walking – by Hannah Wallace

Hooray! The Kindle version is now available!

For readers who prefer e-books, you can find the newly released expanded edition here:

I’m delighted to share the brand new cover for the brand new The Restorer-Expanded Edition.

The new book has the full original text of The Restorer plus so much more.

Bonus Scenes:
Ever wondered why Mark built the attic room? Some of his thoughts and motives are explored in a bonus scene. Learn how Tristan really felt after achieving revenge. Get a peek into Tara’s impressions of the strange visitor to Braide Wood. Live through Kendra’s experience as she’s called back to awareness. Delve into Nolan’s life as he is drafted to travel with the Hazor army. Other bonus scenes give insights into a first-year Council delegate, Wade, Linette, and even Cameron.

Devotion Guide:
Have you been curious about how the story of Deborah in Judges inspired elements of the book? The new ten-part devotion guide digs into the parallels as well as other themes found in the novel. The guide provides scripture, places to journal, questions with which to interact, and prayers.

Special Features:
New musical score for one of the songs, audio files, and links to recipes and other fun bonuses.

Last winter I spent many months developing all the extras for this book. It was a labor of love for the readers who have appreciated the Sword of Lyric series. I’ve completed and turned in all the bonus material for The Restorer’s Son, which will also release with Marcher Lord Press, and am beginning work on the expanded edition of The Restorer’s Journey next. Hooray!

Let me know what you think of the new cover. I was skyping with my daughter when the file came through and whooped and hollered with excitement. 🙂 I think they did a great job.

Even though I get exasperated at the damage hungry deer cause to my vegetable garden each year, when these twin fawns recently snuggled down next to my potato beds, I didn’t have the heart to chase them away.

Last spring, I was invited to write 45 devotions for an upcoming book:

Mornings with Jesus: 365 Devotions to Start Each Day

These short, heartfelt devotions were a blessing for me to work on. I know some of the other authors who were involved, and they are terrific, so I’m sure the book as a whole will be great.

This would also make a great Christmas gift, for folks who want to have a daily devotion book for 2012. You can pre-order now at the link above. Enjoy!
