Cover Reveal for Windward Shore

Introducing the Cover Reveal for Windward Shore!

The island world of Meriel faces an old adversary and a new danger. Will the reformed Order die before it has a chance to blossom?


Storm clouds loom on the horizon as Carya and Brantley struggle to overcome wounds of the past and build a future together. The fragile new Order is on shaky ground, with too few dancers and sparse resources. Then trouble erupts—and now an insidious rebellion and a new foe threaten their entire world.


When she uncovers an old enemy behind all the destruction, Carya realizes the past is not done with her. With conflict tearing apart the dancers and villages, rimmers are soon overrun, and Carya must unite her people by leading the battle to protect the very heart of her world … or lose it all.

The limited hard-cover edition will release in May, and you can preorder here. Thanks for sharing the Cover Reveal for Windward Shore with your friends!

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m giving thanks for YOU, and for the opportunity to share these stories!

Blessings!

Hidden Current Christy

, ,

I was shocked when I heard Hidden Current was a finalist for a Christy, and so grateful and honored. But mostly shocked. So during the online award presentation, when it was announced as the winner, everything became a bit of a blur.

What I tried to express (and I hope it came out even though I was very choked up) was this:

“Thank you to the ECPA for this honor. The authors who have been Christy nominees over the years have written the stories that inspired me, mentored me, and changed me. I’m honored to be beside Morgan and Lindsay and want to thank them for all they have done to create and share visionary fiction.

Thank you to my husband Ted who has supported me every step, my children and grandchildren, and to all my family and friends (the church ladies, my writing group, the Book Buddies) and every reader who encouraged me throughout a variety of challenges. Their prayers and love kept me writing.

Thank you to my agent Steve Laube for suggesting drawing from my background in dance for this new series, and his support and guidance over the years.

Thank you to the wonder folk at Enclave who made this book possible, and my talented editor Reagen Reed.

That this book exists is a testimony to God’s faithfulness. I’ve always said that our Savior is so awesome and multifaceted that we need a variety of ways to communicate with Him and about Him. Billions of stories will still only reflect glimpses of who He is. But it’s worth spending a lifetime trying. Thank you.”

There you have it! I’ve witnessed over and over in my life that in spite of struggles and challenges, our Savior is able to do beyond what we could ask or imagine. May He reassure You of His presence with you today!

Blessings,

If you got mostly Bs…

Your village is…RED STAR RAIN VILLAGE!

You value strength and measure others by their ability to best you in all kinds of challenges. Your competitive spirit can drive you to do great things, but it can also make you a little too reckless.

If you got mostly Cs…

Your village is…BLUE STAR RAIN VILLAGE!

You value invention and are always looking for ways to improve the world around you by building something new. You pour your heart and soul into your projects, but you rarely have time for anything else.

If you got mostly Ds…

You are…A REMNANT!

Remnants don’t belong to a specific village and therefore aren’t bound by the same restrictions as villagers. You value independence and the ability to chart your own course. You are free to explore, but sometimes you wish you had a place to call home.
