Welcome to Relz Reviewz - Your source for Christian fiction reviews and author interviews

Coming in mid 2011 from Zondervan

I’m really looking forward to a number of these titles from Zondervan as I think they offer something a little outside the box from the standard Christian fiction fare.

Mary always offers a meaningful and in-depth story of the travails and triumphs of the human heart, I love Noel Hynd’s Alex LaDuca and am thrilled she is the subject of a new series, Michael Snyder writes with a completely unique voice and Don’s books are always engaging.

Character Spotlight ~ Candace Calvert’s Nick & Leigh Stathos

Nick & Leigh

Candace Calvert is back with a whisk wielding police officer and a doctor who has more faith in her horse than her husband!

Enjoy this insight into Nick & Leigh:~

Brief physical description

San Francisco police officer Nick Stathos:

Hospital blues

Your prayers for her speedy recovery would be so appreciated 🙂

Character Spotlight ~ Rick Acker’s Allie Whitman & Connor Norman

Connor & Allie

I’m a big fan of Rick’s books and his latest, When the Devil Whistles is terrific and as soon as I can get my review together you will see how much I enjoyed it. For now, meet the dynamic duo behind Devil to Pay, Inc. Over to you, Rick:~
