I’m pretty excited about these 2016 releases from Tyndale House ~ cover and story wise!

Tessa is my favourite Biblical fiction writer and I’m intrigued by the story she will weave around this woman. The splashes of colour on the cover are fabulous  but if I’m being particularly fussy, I feel the title font and placement is a little off. Still, can’t wait to read this one!

The contemporary and intriguing nature of Amy and Chris’ covers I adore…and the story lines? I think we are in for a real treat from both of these talented writers. I’m no Amish/Mennonite …

I grew up in southern New Jersey during the 50s and 60s when life was so much simpler than it is today. We had a party-line telephone we shared with another family and a black and white TV my parents shared with us. The township library, where I volunteered, was my second home and the place where I discovered the absolute wonder of reading.

I was inspired to write my first published novel by my sister, Carol Beth. She dared me to write a novel, …

I’m truly delighted to have Amber Lynn Perry drop by Relz Reviewz and share about the cover creation of her third historical romance, So Rare a Gift! Many of you will have seen the gorgeous covers of Amber’s novels, So Fair a Lady and So True a Love, but what you may not know, is that the cover model is none other than Amber herself! Isn’t that fun? I’m always fascinated by how covers come about, and there have been a daughter or two on a few authors’ covers but the author herself gracing her own covers? That’s

Are you a re-reader? 

I am not a re-reader—there are very few books that I have re-read (CS Lewis’s Screwtape Letters, Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing God). But for the most part, I don’t re-read fiction because to me it’s all about the thrill of discovery—what happens? Why did it happen? Once I know that, the thrill is gone for me.

When is your optimal time to read – do you prefer to read in one long block, or do you also read for five minutes here or there when you can?
