and her murder mystery

Dressed for Death

Bethany House

*******

I grew up in… Irving, Texas. The best thing about the house we lived in was that there was a public swimming pool at the end of the street.

I was inspired to write my first published novel by… my love of Shakespeare and medieval English history. I started writing random scenes just for fun and finally realized I had to be a writer.

The books that have most influenced my life are… the Bible (of course), C. S. Lewis’ Narnia books, Laura …

Coming in late 2016 from Bethany House

BHend2016

I’m afraid I’ve woken up on the wrong side of the cover art bed! I adore Bethany House as a publisher of integrity and wonderful stories, and a fantastic art department. Those values are continued with these covers and I know readers who love traditional covers, and ones that have a definite Christian Fiction imprint, will find lots to love in this batch. Unfortunately, it’s all more of the same again. Sigh. I love uniqueness, I love covers that are unusual and not run of the mill. Most of these covers, while beautifully rendered, don’t grab my interest.

Bookish Question of the Week

BookishQu250I’ve posted a feature on indie books over at Australasian Christian Writers today, discussing what I look for, and expect, from a novel published outside of traditional publishing constraints. I’d love to know your thoughts on this subject.

These are the wonderful books I highlighted in my feature, and if you haven’t checked out these authors, I suggest you do so with haste! Bear in mind, not all of these books are written for the Christian market but are still ‘clean’ reads – without explicit language, sex, or gore – but they don’t shy away from real, and ofttimes, gritty, …
