About the book:

A blinding flash … then darkness.
Bria Ford and her three closest friends are stranded on a country highway in the middle of a November night.
No phones. No cars. No lights.
Helpless and hundreds of miles from home, Bria and her friends put their lives in the hands of the handsome Jonah Page and his flinty sister, East, strangers who somehow know the secrets of Bria’s past. Secrets that not even she knows, but that offer them all the hope of survival.

The Light is Book One in this fast-paced, character-driven, Christian series that will leave you wondering who would I become if the world fell away?

Interview with Author Corinna Turner: Creativity, Culture, and What’s Next

12/17/201812/25/2018 / CAstfalk / 1 Comment

I’m impressed with your imagination more than that of any author I follow. What do you do to feed that imagination, to create such original characters and stories?

This is a bit of a hard one, because I don’t particularly feel like I do anything special. I read (though less than I used to due to time, and I’m getting much pickier), I also like films, though again, I’m getting much pickier. I don’t really watch TV at all. I probably get maybe a third to half my book ideas in dreams, so those I cannot take even the illusion of credit for! The other ideas are split between the ones that come very rapidly to the ones that grow more slowly, but they all develop without any interference from me, at least until I reach the stage of serious plotting, so I think all the credit lies with the Holy Spirit for these as well!

Reginald Hill Blog Tour

About the Book:

An odd surge filled my heart as I looked at him, sitting there in that chair: so old; so evil; so broken; so . . . alone. A warmth. A caring. A . . . love. I loved him. Just another poor sinner who needed my care. . .

SAFETY IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF DANGER, BUT THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

Fr Kyle Verrall is living a quiet life as a parish priest in Africa when he’s snatched from his church one night by armed assailants. He’s in big trouble—his sister’s worst enemy is hell-bent on taking revenge on the famous Margaret Verrall by killing her brother, just as slowly and horribly as he can.

What could possibly save him? The humble young priest is defenseless—or so Reginald Hill believes.

But Kyle has a powerful weapon Hill knows nothing about. And he’s not afraid to use it.

Is Reginald Hill really the hunter?

Or is he the hunted? Continue reading →

I Am Margaret Series by Corinna Turner

I Am Margaret by Corinna Turner

This was my first foray into a dystopian world – one with a Catholic underground, a brave and reckless hero, and a strong and virtuous heroine. Well-drawn characters and enough tension and action to keep you turning pages long after you should have set the book down. I don’t believe my heart has ever thumped like that during a novel’s climax. Can’t wait for book two! Continue reading →

As Independence Day grows near, it’s natural to turn our thoughts to our nation’s freedoms, which we hold dear. I can’t think of a better time to read Theresa Linden’s Liberty Series, which focuses on the values we Americans cherish.

The final book in the series, Fight for Liberty, will be featured on Erin McCole Cupp’s Sabbath Rest Book Talk July 9, 2017, as we discuss the month’s theme: revolution!
