“The world building is superb, the writing is not overly simplistic. . . . The pace is never slow and not so fast as to feel rushed. . . . Dwarfs, magical assassins, light-wielding winged people, talking kick-a$$ animals, evil magical princes, and more.” —5-star Amazon review for Scarlet and the Dragon’s Burden

Scarlet Hopewell dreams about a magical world where winged creatures sculpt with light, where dogs talk, and where Scarlet is the guest of honor in an enchanted castle under the roots of a mighty oak tree. One day her father brings home a stray pup with eerie blue eyes. Dakota is loving and smart—maybe too smart. News shows start to take an interest. Ominous storms have everyone on edge. Scarlet’s dream world keeps getting darker and more vivid.

When three beautiful, sinister, silver-voiced men blow the front door of its hinges on Christmas Eve, Dakota leads the Hopewells in their escape through the winter woods—right into the world of Scarlet’s dreams.

A five-volume epic in the classic fantasy tradition that runs from Narnia and the Lord of the Rings through Harry Potter, with a strong female protagonist and a rich cast of characters, the Scarlet Hopewell series is a story about the power of the word, and the adventure of finding the light within.

Here’s the set-up:

Paul’s letter to the Philippians is rich with wisdom and direction for our time. We learn so much in its few pages about the purpose of Christian suffering. We see God’s hand pulling all the levers and strings behind the scenes, sovereignly directing all that befalls His people. And we see the glorious results as the gospel is more widely preached. Paul writes the epistle from prison in Rome, while he waits to see if he will be executed or set free. We see in the letter many of the real-life difficulties that believers face in the battles for humility, righteousness and obedience. The great Apostle warns us of many of the pitfalls and traps which the world presents to those who would follow Jesus Christ. We see the familiar struggles that we all face as strangers in a fallen world. We see what it takes to make the right efforts to be authentic and real with God. We see the truth about what we must let go of in order to more fully grab onto Jesus Christ. And we see the great need, both in Paul’s days and in our own time, for bold, selfless Christian leadership among us. The over-arching theme of Paul’s letter to the Philippians is the joy that sustains God’s people through all of their appointed trials. Thank God for this short but powerful book which encourages, directs and sustains us.

Revenge is a dish best served with blood…
In Revenge is Sweet, the sequel to The Friday Edition, Samantha Church is back and the stakes are higher than ever.
In a sinister quest to settle the score, the drug dealers she thwarted are no longer motivated by money or politics, they want one thing and one thing only: Revenge…
Snow swirls on a cold February night when reporter Samantha Church and her publisher Wilson Cole Jr. are kidnapped. Days following the kidnapping, Sam wakes up in a hospital bed, dazed, bruised and confused. Why did they let her go? It makes no sense. It is only when the kidnappers make their next move does she realize why they let her go.
The kidnappers want to hurt Sam by harming those she loves most, her best friend and coworker, Wilson Cole Jr., and worse, her daughter, April. They taunt Sam, wanting to break her down mentally, physically and emotionally—pretty little April, watch her bleed, pretty little April, now we’ll have some fun. Say bye-bye, pretty little April will die before your eyes.
Revenge doesn’t come any sweeter. Or does it? Is all hope seemingly lost? Or is revenge a two-way street? Does Sam have a plan of her own for the kidnappers—one that will finally settle the score?
