Dark Justice: A Novel by Brandilyn Collins

B & H Publishing

If I’d had any idea what those words would mean to me, to my mother and daughter, I’d have fled California without looking back. 

While driving a rural road, Hannah Shire and her aging mother, who suffers from dementia, stop to help a man at the scene of a car accident. The man whispers mysterious words in Hannah’s ear. Soon people want to kill Hannah and her mother for what they “know.” Even law enforcement may be involved.

The two women must flee for their lives. But how does Hannah hide her confused mother? Carol just wants to listen to her pop music, wear her favorite purple hat, and go home. And if they turn to Hannah’s twenty-seven- year-old daughter, Emily, for help, will she fall into danger as well?

Pressed on all sides, Hannah must keep all three generations of women in her family alive. Only then does she learn the threat is not just to her loved ones, but the entire country . . .

Numb by John Otte

Marcher Lord Press (now Enclave Publishing)

Save the girl…or his soul?

Crusader is numb. He feels neither emotion nor pain, a divine gift that allows him to be the Ministrix’s best assassin.

Whether it’s heretics from within or heathens from without, Crusader is the sword in the True Church’s hand. And if he remains obedient to his superiors, he will be able to let go of his guilt.

But then he’s ordered to kill Isolda Westin. It shouldn’t be a problem. A target is a target. When Crusader sees Isolda’s image, though, something strange happens. He experiences a moment of panic, a wave of emotions–the first he’s felt in as long as he can remember.

In that moment, he realizes he can’t fulfill his mission. He can’t kill Isolda Westin, even if it means he’ll be condemned as an enemy of the Ministrix. 

Soon Crusader and Isolda are on the run. Will they be able to learn why the Ministrix wants Isolda dead? Or will they both soon face the harsh justice of the “True Church”?

The Christy Awards

A recap on this premier award…

The Christy Awards—named in honor of the novelist Catherine Marshall and her best-selling novel Christy–were inaugurated in 2000 to recognize novelists and novels of excellence in several genres of Christian fiction. Each year, publishers enter novels in several categories, and a panel of judges per category read and evaluate the novel against the Christy criteria of excellence. The top three novels in each category are named finalists, and the novelist whose novel has the highest score is awarded a Christy at an annual awards dinner.

This year marks the 15th Annual Christy Awards Ceremony, to be emceed by beloved author Davis Bunn, with industry expert Marcia Z. Nelson of Publishers Weekly as the keynote speaker.

Thanks to the Christy Awards and Wynn~Wynn Media for the 2014 Christys Celebration Giveaway
