Excerpt

“Miss Teddy, wake up. You’ll be late. Didn’t you hear the hall clock strike eleven-thirty?”

Sunlight fought through the soot-covered window. Teddy bounded from the bed.

“Thank you, David.” She called toward the closed door. Teddy wasted no time changing into the out-of-style service uniform. Her shoes needed a good polish, but it would have to wait. She tied the laces, then did her best to focus her tired eyes on the form standing in front of the full-length mirror.

Her hair was a mess. The neat bun she’d so painstakingly put her dark, unruly mop into before last night’s shift now hung limp and to one side. Waves of loose strands stuck to her damp face. A nine-hour night at the hospital and less than three hours of sleep caused wisps of brown to curl around her face. 

“I could use a miracle, Lord.” Her fingers worked through the tangled mess. Her brush pulled the strands into a chignon that was barely passable, but it would have to do. Teddy had not a moment to lose and rushed down the stairs straight into the arms of a man.

Spotlight on Contemporary Romance: Loyally, Luke

15 May

Loyally, Luke JustRead Takeover Tour

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About The Book

Loyally Luke

Title: Loyally, Luke
Series: Skymar #3
Author: Pepper Basham
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: May 14, 2024
Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Sometimes love means embracing the good, the bad. . . and even the impossible.

Dear Reader —

My name is Luke Edgewood, and there are few things in life that I require. Mainly black coffee. And flannel. And lots of solitude. And my dogs, Chewy and Indie. What I don’t need is romance, so I have no plans to change my thirty-year-old bachelor status anytime soon.

But my youngest sister thinks that by accepting a short-term construction job in the small European country of Skymar, that I’m going to follow along in her footsteps and discover my own romantic adventure. Nope. Bah humbug. The End. This time, her rom-com-movie senses are totally wrong.

Or maybe not. Because I’ve met a Grace Kelly lookalike who is annoying. . . until she isn’t. But she is impossible. As in, nothing can happen between us because she is a literal princess. Even though that’s easy to forget when we’re working together to restore a castle-like orphanage in a secluded mountain town and “forced proximity” includes a small closet, a secret one-hundred-year-old journal, and the tactile memory of an off-limits royal in my arms.

Basically, the whole situation has turned into an ooey gooey magical snow globe of romantic tropes complete with cute kids and an actual ball. Now, even my sentences are starting to sound like mush. Ugh. Send high levels of testosterone my way–I’m going to need it.

Loyally, Luke

Excerpt

Luke turned to find Ms. St. Clare standing a few feet away from the doorframe where he’d been leaning. “And a genuine one?” She followed his gaze to the girls disappearing around the corner of the hall, those eyes flicking back to him with a hint of curiosity in them. “I didn’t realize you possessed one.”

Her gaze was softer today. Not quite as . . . unwelcoming. The loose curls that had escaped her bun and framed her face probably helped. It was hard to look mean with a halo of curls around someone’s face. He inwardly groaned. Halo of curls? Where on earth did that thought come from?

“I reserve smiles for friendly people.” He finagled the cookies into his coffee cup hand and tugged the papers from beneath his arm. “I emailed a copy of this estimate to Mr. Holton per his request, but here’s a paper copy I planned to leave for your review.” 

She hesitated, as if caught off guard, and then took the proffered paper. “Thank you.”

He nodded, keeping to task. “I took some of the material costs from market prices, but I bet you could get a sizable discount if buying bulk. Do y’all have a contractor’s discount at some of your building supply stores? I reckon the orphanage is tax exempt.”

For the first time, Grace Kelly lost a bit of her posture. “I . . . I’m not certain about bulk purchases, but yes, the orphanage is under a special tax bracket.”

“Well, both will save you some money. The more you can save, the more the school can put back into these kids.” He took a sip of his coffee and gestured with his chin in the direction Faye and Amara had disappeared. “I’m wondering if you ought to have someone inspect the heating system too. Make sure it’s in good working order.”

“I know these types of buildings aren’t as insulated as newer structures.”

He sent her a look, but her attention was focused down the hallway. She had a delicate nose too. He pinched his eyes closed. “I’d imagine so.”

Quiet stirred greater temptation to look her way again, so he decided right then and there, he should probably leave. “The estimate has a detailed inventory of what’s wrong, so whoever you get to do the work, you at least have knowledge about what needs to be fixed so another team won’t try to take advantage of Cambric Hall.”

Her attention flashed back to him. “Are you not interested?”

His brows flew skyward. “Interested?”

“In the job,” she clarified, and he wanted to go hit his head against one of the stone walls, if for no other reason than to remove the memory.

“I figured you’d probably want to get someone else.”

One of her golden brows rose. “Because of your ogling me in the coffee shop?”

“Ogling?” He turned to face her. “I can assure you I wasn’t ogling, Ms. St. Clare. Ogling implies I had disrespectful thoughts or intentions, but that’s not the case.”

Her gaze searched his and some sort of itching feeling he couldn’t reach buzzed in his chest.

“And exactly what sorts of thoughts were you having?”

“Human ones.” Her stare held him, and his throat started to close up. Heat climbed his neck and started scorching his face. Even his beard started tingling. That stone wall was sounding better and better all the time. “You’re nice to look at. Like the view from these windows or the architecture of this building. That’s as far as my imagination went. Nothing but simple admiration.”

Silence followed again and he took such a large drink of coffee, it hurt to swallow.

“I think we may have gotten off to a poor start, Mr. Edgewood, and I’m afraid I’m to blame for that. And I’m sorry.” Her words drew his attention back toward her, those blue eyes examining his face, searching. “Would you allow me to start over?” She offered her hand, a hint of a smile on her lips. “I’m Ellie St. Clare.”

Red lights started flashing in the back of his mind at her sudden gentling. Unkind and demeaning proved an easy person to dislike and avoid.

But a woman who took responsibility for her actions and attempted to rectify them? Nope. Beam me up, Scotty! He didn’t need any reasons to like Grace Kelly, because then things like emotions started crowding in on solid good sense.

And Luke was a big fan of solid good sense and few emotional tangles.

In fact, he didn’t like any sort of tangles.

The same golden brow rose higher, waiting.

Ridiculous. Silly. He’d just treat her like anybody else he worked with. No problem.

Spotlight on Historical Fiction — Darkness Calls The Tiger

13 May

Darkness Calls the Tiger JustRead Blog + Review Tour

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Darkness Calls the Tiger by Janyre Tromp, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About The Book

Darkness Calls the Tiger

Title: Darkness Calls the Tiger: A Novel of World War II Burma
Author: Janyre Tromp
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: May 14, 2024
Genre: Christian Historical Fiction

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Imperial Japan devours the southern portion of Burma, intent on taking over mainland Asia. Unaware of the coming darkness, Kailyn Moran drifts in her role as the only daughter of a widowed missionary.

As whispers of war snake through the Kachin mountains, Kai’s father is convinced God will protect the mission. He entrusts the village to her and the kind yet inexperienced new missionary, Ryan McDonough, while he makes routine visits to neighboring villages.

War descends like a tempest upon the mountain peaks, and an unbreakable bond forms between Kailyn and Ryan as they unite to provide solace to both villagers and the flood of refugees. Despite their tireless efforts, a brutal enemy shatters almost everything they love, pushing Kailyn to embark on a path of unrestrained vengeance.

Afraid he’s losing the woman he loves, Ryan fights to protect Kai from the deadly consequences of her choices. But in the face of destruction, can he convince her of the power and freedom of forgiveness?

“Evocative and transportive, filled with nuance and spiked with the violence of war, Darkness Calls the Tiger is a story of redemption in the midst of hopelessness.” –Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author

Excerpt

Ryan tripped up the ladder of the mission as Kai burst through the narrow door. Home.

Smoke from the indoor fire pits burned Ryan’s lungs, even from the doorway. He squinted, adjusting to the gloom of the windowless room.

“Kailyn Marie Moran, you are late.” John stepped around the chief fire pit of the family room, emerging out of the haze like the devil himself.

His eyes sparking, the anger there hot enough to start its own fire.

“And I don’t suppose you finished your Latin . . .”

In two long strides, the missionary stood in front of his daughter.

Grasping her chin, he forced her to face him. From across the room, Ryan could see the dents in her cheeks, could nearly taste the blood in his own mouth.

Ryan’s fist tightened on the doorframe, his body trembling against the effort to restrain himself. He wasn’t her father. Wasn’t her brother.

Wasn’t her protector.

“Where is that fool Ryan? What has happened?”

Kai gasped, her body weaving a moment before she collapsed to the floor.

Excerpt

“Are you positive he’s dead?”

Ranger nodded.

Moheenie screamed. “What do we do?”

“We call the police,” Terza and Ranger spoke in unison.

Ranger stood to remove the phone from his back pocket. “I’ll call them,” he said while moving away from the body.

Terza clenched her fists. “Maybe we should check the house. What if he was just murdered, and we caught them in the act?”

“Ranger, hold on!” Moheenie’s trembling hand reached out for her husband. “Terza’s right. What if he was murdered and they’re still in the house? We need to check it first.”

“You two stay here. I’ll be right back.”

“Be careful,” Terza said.

“Very careful,” Moheenie added.

They waited in silence for Ranger to return. Moments later he entered the room with his thumb up.

“You can take a breath. The house is clear. Now I really need to call the police.” Ranger walked toward the front door to make his call.

Good Gracious! Company’s Coming Cheese Straws

Ingredients:

1 pound (4 cups) freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese (gotta be sharp!)

1 cup salted butter (yes to salted)

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

4 cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon black pepper (or white if preferred)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking sheets with parchment or silicone sheets. Break out your box grater and go to town grating that sharp cheddar cheese on the fine side of the grater. When finished, (usually when your arm starts to hurt), cover and let it come to room temperature.

Add the butter and cheese to a stand mixer bowl and paddle beat for about ten minutes until creamed together.

Add salt, flour, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper l and mix on medium speed until fully combined.

Transfer dough to a cookie press fitted with a star tip (if you want your straws to look fancy). Or you can hand-roll long thin strips and cut into uniform lengths (about 3 inches) with a knife.

Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly-browned. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Q & A with Linda Kozar

Many authors say that they have always been a writer. When did you come to realize this?

As a child I realized that reading and writing came easily to me. In reading groups at school I used to get in trouble because I had already read ahead to the end and when it was my time to read a section out loud, I had no idea where we were. I read voraciously and often didn’t like the endings to some stories. So, I wrote my own.

Were there any obstacles faced in your journey to publication?

Always. I had always dreamed of writing “a” book. Just one. I thought if you wrote just one book, that would be a dream fulfilled and I could cross that off my list. It never occurred to me that I could write more than one. Anyway, I wrote personal interest stories for newspapers and got paid something like $35 an article. Peanuts. But I really enjoyed writing them and it was a good training ground for me. Eventually, I started working up the confidence to convince myself that if I’d written so many stories, I could certainly write a book. That was the first obstacle. I prayed and talked to God a lot about this, and felt the call in my spirit that this was what I was supposed to do, and be. Once you believe in yourself, the next mountain to climb is convincing other people that your writing has value. Agents. Editors. Readers. This is a continuous obstacle in a writer’s life. You might be the darling of a publishing house one day, but the next day someone else is hired, or your sales aren’t big enough, or the house decides to cancel a line of books, and you’re out on your keister.

Can you tell us a little about what inspired your book?

The title came out of the warm greeting Southern children get from Southern mamas and grandmas and aunts and neighbors and friends of the family. Gimme Some Sugar means you’re about to get a big kiss on the cheek and a hug. And after that, you’re probably going to be offered something to eat (all of which is what I do now). The title reflects those warm feelings of being loved and cared for, like God loves and cares for us.

What do you want your readers to take away with them after finishing Gimme Some Sugar?

I want readers to open Gimme Some Sugar and instantly feel the warmth of tender loving, nostalgic memories, of family, of friends, of kinder times. My desire is for them to have a good laugh, and most importantly, to read something of weight and reflection to inspire them in their daily walk. Devotions are a wonderful kick-start to your day, and hopefully a reminder to open your Bible and study further.

What’s next?

    A second book in the series titled Sweet Tea & Thee will be coming out either at the end of 2024 or early 2025. I finished writing the manuscript in January and it’s almost finished going through edits. I’m really excited about this next book.

    Spotlight On YA Fantasy — Lion Warrior

    7 May

    About The Book

    Book: Lion Warrior

    Author: James R. Hannibal

    Genre: YA Fantasy

    Release Date: April 23, 2024

    The dragon war has breached the barrier. 

    The forces of the Liberated Land are near to breaking. Without a heavy and rapid shift in the Assembly’s strategy, a dragon invasion will be unstoppable.

    Connor and Kara have kept the full knowledge of the Red Dagger’s location secret for almost a year. A chance to destroy Heleyor and end the war is within the Lightraider Order’s grasp. They must now reveal what they know and call for action.

    With time running out, Connor, Teegan, and Aaron attempt to recover the dagger, and Kara helps the Airguard train a new corps of soldiers— windfighters—in their own bid to change the war’s tide. Meanwhile, Lee and Zel search for Heleyor’s army of tortured Aladoth. This force, thousands strong, has vanished. They’re heading for a hidden portal, and may emerge at the heart of Keledev at any moment.

    Every path that lies before the cadets seems a great risk. The slightest misstep may cost them their lives, their loved ones, and their homeland. But to do nothing means certain failure. To succeed, they must charge ahead into dark uncertainty and trust the Rescuer.

    About The Author

    As a former fighter pilot, stealth pilot, and tactical deception officer, James R. Hannibal is no stranger to secrets and adventure. He is the award-winning author of thrillers, mysteries, and fantasies for adults and children, and he is the developer of Lightraider Academy games. As a pastor’s kid in Colorado Springs, he guinea-pigged every youth discipleship program of the 1980s, but the one that engaged him and shaped him most as a Christ-follower and Kingdom warrior was DragonRaid, by Dick Wulf—the genesis of the Lightraider world.

    More from James

    There and Back Again: A Game?

    The transition from book to game and back again is no easy thing. I’ve been on a steep learning curve since the day I started writing Wolf Soldier, the first book in the Lightraider Academy trilogy. Lion Warrior is the third.

    I should walk back a step. Lightraiders is a game. Did you know that? It began as DragonRaid, a 1980s fantasy adventure game designed for teaching Biblical learning and discipleship. DragonRaid had a huge influence on my Christian walk in my teens. I now have the honor of carrying the concepts designed by the game’s original creator, Dick Wulf, to a new generation through games and stories. Before he went on to be with the Lord, Dick was kind enough to write a foreword for Wolf Soldier.

    The task, when it came to me, was monumental: take a highly allegorical game with isolated location details and expand it into a full-realm book series while also building a new version of the game designed for today’s teens and families. By His grace, God placed men and women in my path who came alongside me to help—fellow believers who are creators from the realms of Tolkien, Star Wars, DC Comics, and Disney. Without them, it could not have been done.

    We’ve been building the game in the background for three years. At the same time, the books have served as a transition from the old to the new. Lion Warrior completes that transition, and the book and the new Lightraiders Adventure Bible System game for teens will release almost simultaneously.

    If you read through the series starting with Wolf Soldier, you may get a feel for this transition. The first book is more allegorical and tightly focused, much like the original DragonRaid game. Fantasy terms used in that story draw from the original game, with only a few new terms introduced. Bear Knight begins to broaden that perspective. It stretches past allegory and introduces several new ideas that you’ll find in the new Lightraiders game. In Lion Warrior, my hope is that you’ll finally have a picture of the fully developed realm from the Liberated Land in the south to the frozen islands in the far north of the Dragon Lands. And that story is fully steeped in the new game with terms and game mechanics slipped in for astute readers to find.

    So, we’ve come full circle. DragonRaid became the story world in Wolf Solder. Then, as I and the team God sent to me rebuilt the game for a new generation, new elements found their way into Bear Knight. And now we have Lion Warrior, fully based on the new Lightraiders discipleship game. If you read the full trilogy and check out the game, I hope you’ll see it all growing together.

    I do love the idea of game to story or vice versa. Are there other game/story combinations you love?

    Spotlight on Historical Romance — The Desert Manna Series

    6 May

    Desert Manna Series Blog Tour

    Welcome to the Blog Tour for the Desert Manna series by Karen Baney, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

    About The Books

    Beauty for Ashes

    Title: Beauty for Ashes
    Series: Desert Manna #1
    Author: Karen Baney
    Publisher: Desert Life Media
    Release Date: March 7,2022
    Genre: Christian Historical Romance

    Uplifting Historical Christian Romance Fiction set in Prescott, Arizona in 1871.

    As a widow who lost her husband in Sherman’s fiery march to the sea, Rebecca Elliot struggled to provide for her son. When she hears from her brother in Prescott, Arizona, she makes the journey west to start over. An unexpected tragedy on the last leg of her travels changes the trajectory of her heart and life as she never could have imagined.

    Perry Quinn finally said goodbye to his late wife when his life is turned upside down. When he loses everything that he worked hard to accomplish, he must humble himself and start over while trying to find the answers to why he lost everything. Along the way, a kind woman steals his heart and reminds him that there is beauty in the middle of the ashes of his life.

    Will he let go of his grief to find true love?

    If you like these authors, you’ll enjoy this book too: Tracie Peterson, Tamera Alexander, Karen Witemeyer, Lacy Williams, Jodi Hedlund, Misty M. Beller

    Excerpt

    In this excerpt from Beauty for Ashes, Rebecca and Mr. Pike come upon Perry Quinn after Perry’s ranch has been burned to the ground.

    “This way,” Mr. Pike said.

    As they neared the cabin, he slowed. “I must warn you, he’s alive, but barely.”

    Rebecca rounded the corner, and her legs grew weak. Morgan! Her heart screamed as she stumbled forward. Mr. Pike steadied her.

    She closed her eyes. This was not Morgan. The poor charred man was Perry Quinn. A rancher. A man in desperate need of help. Just like those poor soldiers she helped during the war. Just like Morgan when someone tried to nurse him back to health.

    Fear. Doubt. Insecurity. Fear.

    She straightened her back and lifted her chin. She would do what she could to help the poor man.

    Rebecca stroked her thumb across Perry’s hand as she wondered what would happen to him. Would he recover? If he did, what would he do? It sounded like he had nothing left on his ranch and no family. Who would care for him and nurse him back to health?

When a trip to deliver goods to the reservation leaves her stranded with a handsome stranger, she discovers the love she longed for.

    After many years of wandering and building up his freight business, Joshua Harrison decides to return to Prescott. As bachelor, he is ill-equipped to raise the orphaned daughter of a friend. He hopes the stable life of a small town will bring what he needs to become a good father. Having failed at love twice, he is afraid to try again, until he is stranded with the unconventional and beautiful Grace Talbert.

    Can he move past his heartache to open himself to love again?

    If you like these authors, you’ll enjoy this book too: Tracie Peterson, Tamera Alexander, Karen Witemeyer, Lacy Williams, Jodi Hedlund, Misty M. Beller

    Excerpt

    In this excerpt from Joy for Mourning, Grace is headed to the freight office to ship some donations for the charity she runs. She is caught off guard when a stranger is working there.

    When Grace stepped into the freight office, she did not see Ira at the counter, so she rang the obnoxious cowbell. She found it annoying, but it seemed like the teamsters could hear the thing even when working in the back storeroom.

    “Ira,” she said when she heard footsteps down the hall. “It’s Grace. I’m here about shipping…”

    A tall man, who was most definitely not Ira, appeared from the back. My what wonderful blue eyes. They sparkled and reflected the light. Such a nice contrast to his lightly tanned skin. He was thin but still well built. His wavy light brown hair flopped over part of his forehead. A dimple in his chin added to his handsome appearance that nearly stole her breath away. When he smiled, she let out a quick breath and willed her heart to stop slamming into her chest.

    “I don’t believe we’ve met,” she said, trying to recover. “I’m Grace Talbert.”

    His smile dimmed. “I’m sorry for your loss.”

    She glanced down at her dress. No, it was the blue dress she wore, the same blue as his amazing eyes.

    He cleared his throat and rushed to explain. “I saw you. The funeral.”

    “You,” she whispered. The man in the wagon who passed by—the one she could not stop thinking about. She looked away, lest her gaze revealed her thoughts.

    Oaks of Justice

    Title: Oaks of Justice
    Series: Desert Manna Series #3
    Author: Karen Baney

When she apologizes to him for using some unconventional tactics, sparks fly, and she finds a love she had not been looking for.

    Alex Glassman was ready to settle down but after a failed courtship, he doubted if he would ever find the right match. When a major court case falls into his lap, he is unprepared to argue the case against a fiery red headed woman. When the case is over and he humbles himself to admit his mistakes, his heart is captured, and he dares to hope that she could be the one.

    When Mel’s life is threatened, can Alex save her in time?

    If you like these authors, you’ll enjoy this book too: Tracie Peterson, Tamera Alexander, Karen Witemeyer, Lacy Williams, Jodi Hedlund, Misty M. Beller

    Excerpt

    In this excerpt from Oaks of Justice, Alex had just stopped by opposing counsel’s office to meet Mr. Mel Larson. Except Melissa “Mel” may have misled him. When he leaves, her boss Virgil questions her odd behavior.

    Mel let out a long breath.

    “What was that all about?” Virgil asked.

    “He thinks I’m your secretary. I never gave him my first name.”

    Virgil cocked his head to one side. “Oh, I see where this is going.”

    “You and I both know our client is innocent and the crux of this case is mistaken identity from what you told me earlier,” she said. “What better way to illustrate this point to the court than to show that our esteemed District Attorney is as susceptible as the next person to mistake someone’s identity?”

    “Are you sure you want to do that, Mel? He is the District Attorney.”

    “Yes.”

    “Alright. For this to be fully effective, you’re going to have to sit in the gallery for jury selection and let me lead it.”

    “That is an excellent idea.”

    Pick up Oaks of Justice to see if Mel follows through with her plan.

    Spotlight on Romantic Suspense — Lethal Danger

    2 May

    Lethal Danger Blog + Review Tour

    Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Lethal Danger by Jerusha Agen, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

    About The Book

    Lethal Danger

    Title: Lethal Danger
    Series: Guardians Unleashed #4
    Author: Jerusha Agen
    Publisher: SDG Words
    Release Date: April 25, 2024
    Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

    This K-9 team is trained to eliminate threats. This threat could eliminate them.

    Being a loner is getting old. Jazz Lamont still can’t fit in at the Phoenix K-9 Agency, and she’s losing her best friend. At least providing security with her K-9 partner at the Tri-City Fair will mean revisiting the only place where she once belonged. But a series of accidents threatens her beloved fair and puts lives at risk.

    Thriller author Hawthorne Emerson suspects foul play after the first “accident.” Moonlighting as fair security to investigate the death of his sister’s boyfriend, he’s eager to find the truth. He doesn’t expect the task to lead him to the cult he escaped.

    Finding the culprit behind the sabotage is personal for Jazz and Hawthorne. But someone else has a personal stake, too. Someone who wants Jazz dead. When everything she thought was true is dismantled, can Jazz risk trusting others—including God—to survive?

    Lethal Danger continues the thrilling story of the elite Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency that began with Hidden Danger (Guardians Unleashed, #1). (Each book can stand alone or be read as series installments.)

    Excerpt

    He kept his arm behind her back and lifted her to her feet. Then without another thought, he  pulled her into an embrace, cradling her against his chest.

    He couldn’t help it. She could’ve died.

    So that’s what he said as he caressed her silky hair with his thumb. “I thought you might be dead.”

    She leaned her head back and brought her gaze up to his. Something shimmered in her emerald eyes. Tears? Was she hurt?

    “I’m sorry.” He loosened his hold around her, lowering his hands to gently brush down her arms. “Are you injured?”

    She shook her head, watching him with what looked like wonder. Maybe her head injury had left her a little confused.

    His hand went to her face, cupping her cheek as his thumb neared one of the red marks.

    “Your face is scratched. Are you sure you aren’t hurt anywhere else?”

    “Pretty sure.” Her gaze didn’t leave his.

    She was breathtaking. Twigs in her mussed ponytail and scratches and dirt smudges on her face couldn’t do a thing to diminish her stunning beauty. Or the effect she seemed to be having on him.

    Spotlight on YA Fantasy — Aivan: The One Truth

    21 Jan

    About The Book

    Book: Aivan: The One Truth

    Author: Kayla E. Green

    Genre: Young Adult Christian Fantasy

    Release Date: July 23, 2022

    Two young people from opposite sides of the Great Continent must make sense of their life.

    Rune has grown up all of her life in the mountainous northern nation of Kansanai. As granddaughter of the Senior Elder, she has been a devout believer of the Vihishki gods her whole life. Yet, when a prophet challenges the Vihishki gods against his Aivan, the One Truth, everything she thought she knew is turned upside down. Will she be able to let go of the life she thought she deserved for something far greater than what she could have ever imagined?

    Rolf goes through the motions of everyday life in the southern nation of Etalentin. Yet, his routine is disrupted when a voice claiming to be the one true God speaks to him. Listening to his heart, he follows Aivan, but he is thrown temptation after temptation on his journey. Will Rolf be able to resist the temptations in order to fulfill Aivan’s plan for him?

    Aivan: The One Truth is a story about self-discovery, identity, and faith.

    Click HERE to get your copy.

    About The Author

    Kayla E. Green is a school librarian, speculative fiction author, and poet who adores her husband and their furbabies. When she isn’t writing, reading, or taking photos for her bookstagram, she loves singing loudly and off-key to KLove Radio, napping, and pretending she’s a unicorn. Her award-winning YA fantasy novella, Aivan: The One Truth, and her inspirational poetry collection, Metamorphosis, are now available through book retailers. Kayla also has stories and poems featured in various anthologies, contest-winning stories published with Clean Fiction Magazine, and several flash fiction stories available online through Havok Publishing.

    More from Kayla

    Working in education, it often is disheartening to see how much darkness bombards today’s youth. With Aivan: The One Truth, the forthcoming Chronicles of the One Truth series, and all my writing, my primary goal is to offer young readers a beacon of hope in this dark world. Alluding to many stories and lessons found in the Old Testament, Aivan is a fast-paced novella designed to capture young readers and pull them into the world of the Great Continent. It is my biggest prayer with this book that Rune and Rolf’s journey in this fantasy narrative will serve as a guiding light to lead readers of all ages to seek truth in our reality—the truth that can only be found through our one true God.

    One of my current projects is developing a companion devotional for Aivan: The One Truth as well as the full-length novels that will be part of the complete Chronicles of the One Truth series (which will be released at a later date). The devotional would be a tool for parents, teachers, and pastors to use along with the book to help young readers understand the themes and biblical parallels.

    Two major themes within the novella center around identity and purpose. Rune’s struggles with disappointment with shattered dreams and the heartache of feeling lost, alone, and unfulfilled are struggles that are arguably universal. In looking at Rune’s journey, young readers as well as adult readers can recognize the real-world challenges of identity: Who exactly are we? In today’s world, there is a constant battle between God and society. How can one embrace their identity as a child of God when the world demands us to rage and rebel against that title?

    In Exodus 3:11 (NIV) Moses asks God, “Who am I?” after he is told to go to the Pharaoh to rescue the Israelites. God tells Moses, “I am with you,” (Exodus 3:12, NIV). Similar to Moses’ walk of faith, Rune, like us all, must learn to accept the truth. Like Aivan in the fantasy novella, our God, the one true God, is always with us. We may not immediately—or ever—understand His plan; however, through Him we are whole, redeemed, and loved. And in that, we have great purpose.

    I pray that whoever reads Aivan: The One Truth finds parallels to our own world and finds solace knowing that we are because God is the great “I Am.”

    In my upcoming companion devotional, I will explore the concepts of identity and purpose from a biblical perspective. Anyone who wants updates on this, should follow my blog and subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to know!

    Q & A with Kayla E. Green

    Was there a special someone, such as a teacher, parent, or other relative, who encouraged you to pursue writing?

    I have been oh so blessed with numerous sources of encouragement throughout my life overall and in terms of my pursuit of writing.

    The first person who comes to mind is my mother, Terri. She read to me and my siblings every day during our childhood, instilling within me a love for books from an early age. But she also would take time to engage with me and ask me questions when I decided to make up my own stories before I learned to read.

    I also owe a lot of thanks to my art teacher who I worked with from 2nd grade through high school graduation, Mrs. Smith. She didn’t encourage me to pursue writing directly; however, she encouraged me to pursue creative endeavors. In addition, she gave me some advice when I was young that, though simple, has had a profound impact on me. She told me: “Trust yourself—you know more than you give yourself credit for. And if you mess up, you are smart enough to clean it up” (paraphrased as it was about 15 years ago).

    In addition to my art teacher, my journalism teacher in high school, Mrs. Peregoy, also was a huge encouragement. She helped me hone my writing skills and truly helped shape me into the person I am today. In fact, she went from a teacher to mentor to friend—she was a bridesmaid in my wedding!

    My sister, Kari, and friends, Rafael and Hannah, have also been big encouragers always willing to read and offer me feedback. My husband, Matthew, dad, Cliff, brother, Tyler, and my grandparents are also continuously supportive of my writing endeavors. I am blessed to have so much love and support!

    Why did you choose the fantasy genre?

    I love magic and whimsy within fantasy books, and I believe that played a role in my own stories being primarily fantasy. Aivan: The One Truth is a young adult novella, but even advanced middle grade readers will enjoy it, too. There’s so much room for creativity in the worlds you create and how you approach real world relatability in fantasy—it’s just so fun!

    Can you tell us a little about what inspired your latest novel?

    Simply, the book was a story placed on my heart by God. I had a general idea for a story following a young girl who had her life planned out only for the plan to fall to pieces. I spent a lot of time crafting this girl’s personality and character, even naming her Rune. However, I didn’t exactly know how to tell her story. One Sunday at church, the sermon focused on Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The passages in 1 Kings recounting how God set the altar on fire when called on by Elijah not only influenced an important scene within Aivan: The One Truth but it led to an “ah-ha” moment for me. I began piecing together details of the Great Continent and Rune’s world which has several Old Testament story influences.

    What do you want your readers to take away with them after finishing one of your novels?

    It is my prayer that with reading Aivan: The One Truth, readers walk away comforted by the fact that we were made resilient and we can rebuild when our plans fall apart, empowered knowing that the one true God in our own world loves them, and filled with hope at the reminder that light will always prevail over darkness.

    Readers always want to know what is next for an author. Do you have any works in progress you can
    share about?

    I am happy to share! I am wrapping up some major edits on the first book in a new young adult fantasy duology, The Tritonia Chronicles. The first book is titled The Goodness of Unicorns. The final blurb has not been released yet but I will share that it will be a must read for fans of noble bright fantasy narratives with no magic but elements of blessings and unique giftings, strong sister bonds, friends to lovers and chosen one tropes, and stories that show light prevailing over darkness! The book is being published with Ambassador International. Be sure to follow both me and AI on Instagram for updates (@ambassadorintl @theunicornwriter93).
