New Romantic Suspense Series with Mountain Brook Ink
Keeping good news to myself hasn’t been easy, but today, I can officially share this book announcement with you. With the help of my agent, Stephanie Alton of The Blythe Daniel Agency, I’ve signed with Mountain Brook Ink for a new Romantic Suspense series. The first book in the series, Take My Hand, is scheduled to release December 2022 with the sequel to follow a year later in 2023.

That said, I am thrilled to branch into…

Book Buzz on The Revisionary
Even though The Revisionary released in 2017, it remains increasingly relevant to our times. After all, living in 2020 has somewhat felt like living in a dystopian novel (where anything that can go wrong probably will go wrong). That said, my desire in writing The Revisionary and the other two books in the trilogy was to show hope through dark circumstances. Specifically, my characters find that hope by rediscovering America’s heritage. I want my readers to walk away feeling inspired to press on and do what’s right even if they’re swimming against the popular current. I’m honored to share an excerpt from this latest book review. For more details and…

Author Chat with Kristen Young on Her New YA Dystopian Release
I first met Kristen in a Facebook readers group and discovered we share two things in common. First, we spell our names the same way. If you’ve ever had someone misspell your name, you know how exciting it is to meet someone else who has the same spelling as you. Also, we both write young adult dystopian fiction from a Christian worldview. I’m thrilled to share an interview with Kristen today where she talks about her new release, Apprentice, now available on Amazon. Q: You’ve written several nonfiction books for teens. What prompted you to also branch into young adult fiction and the dystopian genre, in particular? As a kid…

Fall in Love with YA Fiction
Happy first day of October! I’m pinching myself over here, because Florida actually feels like fall right now. This morning was in the 60s! Northern friends, just humor me here. That’s a big deal for Florida. What better time of year to “fall” in love with fiction? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun!) I’m excited to share that my young adult dystopian trilogy, The Rogues, is on sale from October 1 through 5 for only $.99 on Kindle! The Rogues trilogy blends suspense, science fiction, and American history into a saga that offers hope through a rediscovery of heritage. One reader said: “I’ve read my fair share of dystopian fiction, Christian…

Author Chat with Hope Bolinger on her Modern-Day Daniel Series
You all are in for a treat today! Hope Bolinger is a literary agent and multi-published YA novelist who has accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. She’s an inspiration for young writers (and “young at heart” writers too), and today, she shares about her latest release in her modern-day Daniel series. Q: What prompted you to write a contemporary fiction series on Daniel? It all started in a college class. We were going over the Old Testament in a semester, and during the unit on Daniel, the teacher said, “Daniel and his friends would’ve been 14 or 15 when they were taken into the Babylonian captivity.”…

The Rogues Trilogy Book Sale! Christmas in July Keeps Getting Better.
Christmas in July keeps getting better! Earlier this week, I shared about the multi-author giveaway I’m taking part in. Now, I’m excited to announce that my entire Rogues trilogy is on sale for $.99 each on Kindle. Maybe I’m guilty of overusing the word excited, but go ahead, just ask my husband how excited I get about deals. After our last visit to Khols and my semi-gloating on the 80% markdowns I’d snagged, James laughed and said, “You’re practically making money!” Thank you. My point exactly. Well, I’m not making money on this sale, and that’s fine by me. As an author and avid reader, I enjoy finding book deals…
