Alan Reynolds slid into marriage. When his wife kicks him out, it looks as if he may slide out just as easily. Forced to bunk with his newlywed younger brother and his pregnant wife, Alan gets a firsthand look at a blissfully happy marriage while his wife rebuffs his attempts at a reunion.

Caught in the middle, Alan and his wife’s mutual friend Megan grows increasingly unhappy with her own empty relationships. If that weren’t enough, her newly sober brother has found happiness with Jesus, a goody-goody girlfriend, and a cockeyed cat.

When Alan and Megan hit rock bottom, will there be grace enough in their bankrupt lives to right their relationships and find purpose like their siblings have?

Come Back to Me can stand alone, but for Chris and Rebecca’s story, read Stay With Me.

A Stay With Me Giveaway for National Park Week, 2018

/ CAstfalk / 8 Comments

April 21-29 is National Park Week in the U.S.! I love our national parks and hope to visit many more than the few I’ve been blessed to experience.

My favorite is Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. I even set some scenes from my novel Stay With Me there!Shenandoah National Park landscape

To celebrate, I’m giving away an Audible audiobook copy of Stay With Me across all of my author platform. To be entered, comment below, and I will enter you in a random drawing. Winner to be announced May 1, 2018.

Stay With Me audiobook coverStay With Me is a contemporary (Catholic) Christian romance that leans a little more spicy than sweet. Although perfectly “clean” by most standards, it’s what I call a Theology of the Body romance and, as such, sexuality is treated frankly.

If it sounds like something that appeals to you, comment to enter, and if you know someone else who might enjoy it, tag a friend.

I think Patricia Santomasso did a fantastic job on the narration!

Happy Birthday Stay With Me

I can hardly believe it’s been a year since Stay With Me was launched to the world! Thank you, Full Quiver Publishing, for making it happen. In honor of this monumental occasion, I’m sharing some details about the book that you probably don’t know.

  1. I’ve seen the Dave Matthews Band twice, both pre-1995. The first was at my alma mater, Duquesne University, where they shared billing with Big Head Todd and the Monsters. My husband (then boyfriend) and I left early in DMB’s set through a thick cloud of pot smoke. The second time we saw them was as part of the H.O.R.D.E. Festival (1996?) at then-called Star Lake Amphitheater in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
  2. The infamous shower scene wasn’t intended from the beginning. True to life, it just sort of happened.
