Dream of Kings Birthday

, , ,

Dream of Kings is born today!

I woke up this morning incredibly grateful that God enabled this book to exist. Thank you to everyone who has supported my writing through prayers, encouragement, and telling people about my books.

This is my twelfth novel, and each one holds a special place in my heart as I think about the characters who came to life in my mind, and the themes that challenged my heart. 

Where did the idea for Dream of Kings come from? I had noticed so many “reimaginings” of familiar stories (Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, Pride and Prejudice, etc.) in recent years. I also admired Francine Rivers’ take on Hosea set in a different time and setting in Redeeming Love. One of my favorite Biblical accounts is that of Joseph, so I used that as my jumping-off place. From there I imagined an epic fantasy setting with kingdoms in conflict, a woman facing injustice, and God’s hand shaping mercy for her and her people. Then I let the story take unexpected turns.

I hope you enjoy this adventure! Available anywhere books are sold, including HERE.

Forsaken Island Christy Award

, , , ,

I’m so stunned and grateful. Last night’s Christy Awards was a lovely evening of inspiration and terrific speakers. It reminded me of how much my life and faith walk has been shaped by authors of novels over the years–even more so than non-fiction. Their stories encouraged and challenged me. It’s a huge honor to be part of this amazing family of writers.

I’ll confess that when they read the first line of Forsaken Island, there was a roaring in my ears and a disoriented confusion, and if not for my hubby and daughter cheering, I would have forgotten to turn on my camera and mic and accept the award.

This was especially sweet because I was able to dedicate this to my mom. She taught me to read at a very young age and instilled a passion for books that led me to becoming a writer. She recently went ahead to heaven, and being able to acknowledge her was a very tender gift to me.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my writing over the years!

Blessings!
