My latest book, Hidden Names, is a Christian Romantic Suspense. One of the things I’ve enjoying doing with each of my books is to put a little of myself into the novel. In this story, Amber is an artistic jeweler, who works with gems and stones to create her products. I am definitely not a…

Finally Forever by Karin Beery
The special-needs community holds a special place in my heart. My aunt Linda is mentally disabled, and she’s required assisted living for her entire adult life. It wasn’t until she moved in with me, however, that I realized how capable and amazing she truly is, and it made me wonder how many other special-needs people…
The Garden Tomb by R.F. Whong
My husband (a retired pastor) and I served together at three different churches from 1987 to 2020. Throughout this period, I experienced many memorable moments, but one memory stands out as particularly delightful in my mind. In 2018, our church gave us a three-month sabbatical. A year before that, we prayed about how to spend…
There Is Always Something We Can Do by Kate Darroch
Rosa Parkes refused to give up her seat – which soon led to the Selma to Montgomery Walk, one of the most famous demos of modern times. Ghandi refused to pay the salt tax–which led to the March to the Sea, an incredible demo enshrined in history. I refuse to keep quiet about Kids in…
The Samaritan’s Patient by Chevron Ross
This novel might never have been born had I not seen a PBS interview with two New York Times writers, Megan Twohey and Gabriel Dance, on December 16, 2021. These reporters did an extensive investigation into a website on which subscribers discussed committing suicide and shared methods for doing so. Most visitors to the site…
Smoking Flax: Racism in the 70s by Jennifer Hallmark
My latest novel, Smoking Flax, takes place in a community in Louisiana and a small town in Alabama in 1978 and 1984. George Wallace had repented of his racist attitude by this time and on the surface, unity seemed to prevail. Except it didn’t. Growin up in northwest Alabama, I knew little about the African-American…
Going Against the Culture by Aubrey Taylor
Something has been bothering me recently. Something about which I might need to make a stand. It is a small thing, but it has caused me to realize: I am no good at this. Fear of man is a very real thing, whether it means fear of pain and suffering, fear of being laughed at,…
Purposeful Prayer by Barbara M. Britton
Last year was a challenge. My family had planned surgeries and emergency surgeries. A beloved brother-in-law passed away along with cherished church members. I am praying that 2024 is a better year. I am also being more intentional about making prayer a priority. When I studied the book of Nehemiah, I discovered a man who…
Shady Valley Mystery by Lillian Duncan
My latest release, SMALL TOWN SECRETS is based in the fictional town of Shady Valley, but does resemble my hometown of Shreve, Ohio. Except nothing this exciting happens in Shreve–which is a good thing. That’s why I like living there. But nothing happening would make for a boring book so Shady Valley has a few…
Praying for the Weather by R.F. Whong
As a Christian, have you ever prayed for the weather? In my next book, Enigma in Paradise (to be released in 2024), the characters prayed for thick fog to help them escape a dire situation. God granted their plea. Under the cover of the mist, they returned to safety. Is it possible in real life?…
