Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Change Rushes West by Monique Bucheger & G.L. Rasmussen (Give.away)1/21/2025 
Genre: Upper MG Release date: January 8, 2025 Click here to get your copy!  More from MoniqueHello Everyone, Change Rushes West has been a long-time coming for me. It explores Ginnie’s relationship with her mom’s horse, Eternal Love. Ginnie’s mom’s tragic accident really shaped the entire series. From the beginning, I knew that losing the horse was a sore spot for Ginnie. I always wondered what happened to Eternal Love after she was sold—it felt like an unresolved part of Ginnie’s story. The idea of bringing them back together has been in the back of my mind for years, but I didn’t seriously explore it until one night G.L. and I brainstormed ways to tie up some loose ends in the series as well as figure out what story arcs to add to this book. That brainstorming session was pivotal. We started imagining what Ginnie’s journey to find Eternal Love would look like and realized it could be so much more than just a search for a lost horse. It could be a way for Ginnie to reconnect with her mother, heal from that loss, and explore how life moves forward—even when it feels like it’s standing still. I also loved the idea of Calliope, Ginnie’s horse, being Eternal Love’s daughter. It felt like a beautiful connection between Ginnie’s past and present, between the mother she lost and the person she’s becoming. It added another layer of emotional depth to the story. I wanted Ginnie’s journey to feel like a true adventure, but also an internal one, where she learns that not all endings are sad—sometimes they’re just the beginning of something new. Writing Change Rushes West was a way to bring Ginnie full circle, and I think readers will enjoy the mystery and the twists along the way. There’s family drama, of course, and the West family is as dynamic as ever. However, at its heart, this story is not only about Eternal Love, the horse her mother was seldom apart from, but about the emotional love—both the kind you lose… and the kind you find, when you least expect it. 
Drawing from her experiences nurturing a dozen of her own children and fostering over a hundred more, Monique’s experiences shape her books, creating novels in a number of genres, including a historical family saga, contemporary family dramas, a fun picture book, and a middle grade series weaving whimsy and heart into her tales. 
Gary and his wife, Margie are the parents of four children and ten grandchildren and have traveled extensively throughout Europe, Great Britain and the United States. It's Time For A Giveaway!

Genre: Sweet New Adult Contemporary Romance Release date: October 1, 2024 Click here to get your copy!  Interview with Jennifer#1. What was the inspiration for this book? I accidentally started writing a series I’ve dubbed Real American Country. It centralizes on a group of contestants who are selected to appear on a reality TV show for aspiring country music artists and that show happens to be called Real American Country. Book one (Fall When You’re Ready) was supposed to be a standalone. Instead, characters kept demanding I write their stories. If you’ve read Fall When You’re Ready, you may have caught glimpses of Cassidy Raye Stanton starting around Chapter 42. And you really only see Nash Montgomery’s name mentioned in conversation. But for whatever reason, these two got my attention and I needed to know why. When I started prodding, they delivered. #2. How long did it take to finish writing this book? I started writing it while the first book was in edits in October 2023. The first draft didn’t take too long but to get to a place where I was happy with the final product was about eleven months. I sent it to ARC readers September 1 and it was published October 1, 2024! #3. What drew you to write in this particular genre? I absolutely love romance books, but what really draws me in are the stories that focus on the emotions and the characters, rather than just what happens behind closed doors. When I started writing, that’s what I wanted to capture—the emotional journey of falling in love. It’s about those little moments that make your heart skip a beat, like a lingering glance or a meaningful touch. Do you remember how powerful a single whispered word can be? That’s the magic I want to bottle up in my stories. For me, the best part is when characters grow together. They face life’s challenges, support each other, and come out stronger on the other side. It’s not just about falling in love, but about how love can make you a better person. That’s why I write sweet contemporary romance—because the stories I want to tell are about heartfelt connections, emotional growth, and the kind of love that lifts you up, not just romantically, but as a whole person. #4. Do you have favorite character(s) in this book? Can you keep a secret? OK, good. Yes, I do. And they aren’t the main characters! One of my favorite character duos is Jet and Cody in Wrapped Up in You. Cody (short for Cordelia) is Nash's younger sister. She's a constant bright spot in everyone's day. And Jet is a kid who needs Nash as much as Nash needed him. Nash becomes the big brother Jet never had and Jet helps send Nash down the path fate cooked up for him. If I thought I could, I'd write Jet and Cody's love story RIGHT NOW because the two of them are precious in the few glimpses we get of them. Alas, my TBW (to-be written) pile is already too tall as it is! #5. What do you hope your readers will take away with them when they read this book? Wrapped Up in You is a story of love, music, and the sacrifices we make for those who hold our hearts. In the end, it’s about finding your way back to the one who feels like home—even if it means taking the long way around. It’s a story about taking charge of your future and trusting your gut even when the weight of everyone else’s expectations is heavy. I hope readers come away with a sense of hope and a reminder that love isn’t always easy, but when it’s real, it’s worth fighting for. I want them to feel inspired by the emotional growth of the characters, the power of trust, and the importance of following your heart—even when it leads you down unexpected paths. Ultimately, I want readers to see that love is about more than just finding someone; it’s about building a life together and supporting each other through all of life’s challenges. #6. How did you name your characters? My characters’ names usually show up when they do! It’s funny, there have been instances where I name a character and then halfway through the manuscript I decide I don’t like the name for some reason and I’ll change it. Or there’s one draft I was writing where I named one guy Dan and another Danny and they had the same job and I didn’t realize it until I went back and proofread it and got confused! So Dan became Scott haha! I do try to stick to time appropriate names when necessary. If I’m writing “in the 1990s” then I hover around names I remember being popular then. I have found myself on the Baby Names website to double check! #7. Tell us something funny, sad, embarrassing, whatever, that happened involving this book. Wrapped Up in You was 10,000 words heavier before the final round of edits! I love words. I always want the reader to know EVERYTHING about everything so trying to come to grips with needing to cut scenes is hard for me. We cut about 10,000 words about two weeks before it went to ARC readers and I cut every single one of them in protest. Then I re-read it and knew it had been the absolute right decision. Then I got an e-mail from an ARC reader telling me that a sentence somewhere in the first two pages was duplicated… so I got to cut a few more words after that! #8. Tell us a little about yourself, your family, friends. I'm Jennifer Carr. I'm a wife (married my best friend that I met when I was 13), homeschooling mom (1 teenage daughter who is an artist and looks just like her dad), part-time farmer (we just downsized to chickens only but there were goats not long ago!), social media addict (Queen of the Doomscroll!), and an avid reader (I’ll give anything a try). I'm a lover of coffee, music, learning, animals, and writing. I have a degree in Psychology, a Master's in Marriage & Family Counseling, and certifications in Life Coaching, Health and Wellness Coaching, and am a certified Brain Health Professional. I also taught high school AP Psychology for several years. Then I wrote a book... and my world shifted on its axis. In March 2023, I launched a podcast in hopes of cultivating a community geared toward creatives—authors, musicians, artists, etc. My goal has been to foster a platform where we can share ideas, support one another's work, and create a network of resources creatives need along their journey. #9. If you could change one thing in your life, past or present, what would it be? If I could change one thing in my life, it would be learning earlier to surround myself with people who support me as much as I support them. For the longest time, I lived in a world where almost every relationship I had was one-sided. I poured my heart and soul into friendships and relationships, always being the one to give more, only to find myself burned out and, eventually, abandoned once the support fizzled then stopped. Looking back, I wish I had recognized sooner that I deserved mutual support—people who genuinely had my back, who lifted me up the same way I did for them. It’s a tough lesson, but one I’m grateful for now. Relationships, whether personal or professional, should be balanced, with love and support flowing both ways, and I’ve learned the importance of setting boundaries and recognizing when someone isn’t offering that same energy in return. #10. What one piece of advice would you like to give readers? If you love a book or even just like a book, please leave at least a star-rating for it somewhere! Whether it’s Goodreads, Facebook, Amazon, or some other social platform, drop a quick line with some stars and share the love! Authors, especially self-published authors, bank on word-of-mouth for the majority of their marketing so we live for the ratings and reviews. Also, if you love something about a book, I promise you the author would LOVE to hear from you! (Case in point, this author would LOVE to hear from you!) #11. Share with us a thought, Bible verse, whatever is on your mind/heart. It’s OK to be yourself. We often feel pressure to fit into molds or expectations that others set for us, but there’s real freedom in embracing who we truly are. It’s OK to be imperfect, to have quirks, and to live authentically. The world needs the unique perspective that only you can offer. But, it’s best to be who you were created to be. We’re all created with purpose, and it’s not just about being yourself, but becoming who God designed you to be. It’s about leaning into your God-given gifts and strengths, even when that path may be challenging or countercultural. There’s a deep fulfillment in aligning your life with God’s purpose for you, trusting that His plan is greater than anything we could imagine for ourselves. More from JenniferWrapped Up in You is book two of the Real American Country Series. But don’t worry, it can definitely be read as a standalone! The series follows a reality television country music competition and some of the contestants as they pursue their dreams of becoming country music recording artists. This book follows the story of Nash Montgomery and Cassidy Raye Stanton as they each navigate the pressures of the spotlight. They’ll each have to decide if they’re chasing their own dreams—or someone else’s. And along the way, they’ll discover that getting wrapped up in the right person can bring out the best in themselves. Wrapped Up in You is a heartwarming tale about breaking free from the expectations of others, finding love, and discovering that the best path is the one you create for yourself. One of my favorite things about writing this series is coming up with custom playlists for each book. If you love country music or just want to see what all the fuss is about, here’s the playlist that goes along with Wrapped Up in You: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2hXjkRFytj9tPFpitHRdEf?si=d0209225ac1f41e0
It was at that point I realized that being an author was something I could see myself doing for a really long time. So, I’m still writing and loving every minute of it. When I’m not writing, there’s a good chance I’m reading and drinking coffee! It's Time For A Giveaway!

 Interview with Joy#1. What was the inspiration for this book? All my books are inspired by my own faith journey. I went through a really difficult season where I had what you might call a crisis of faith. God wasn’t answering my cries for help, He seemed distant and uninterested. He wasn’t of course, and He gently drew me back to Himself. I wanted to take my main character on a similar journey to the one I went on. Brother Silas had appeared in a previous book as a minor character. He was trying to keep a small failing abbey going. My book starts with the abbey being destroyed and Silas running from his faith. #2. How long did it take to finish writing this book? It took about 5 months to write this book. I started it in November 2023 but then had to take a break from it as life circumstances took over. I finished the first draft in early April, but the editing process took time after that, #3. What do you hope your readers will take away with them when they read this book? That it is OK to question God, He can take it. He understands when we can’t make sense of why bad things happen. He doesn’t always answer our prayers in the way we expect Him to, or speak to us in the way we are used to hearing Him, but He loves us and never gives up pursuing our hearts. #4. Tell us a little about yourself, your family, friends. I am a wife, mother to two grown children, and grandmother to two small children. I love being a grandparent! It is the joy of my life to help care for my grandkids. I love dogs and have a Jack Russell terrier cross who is fun to live with. I live by the sea and have a panoramic view of the ocean and Welsh mountains from my house windows. I love to read, crochet, bake and watch my husband garden! Most of my closest friends are now writers and I help head up a community for Christian Writers in the UK, which we call Kingdom Story Writers. #5. If you could change one thing in your life, past or present, what would it be? I live with a chronic condition that came on suddenly 11 years ago. It changed my life and has been difficult to live with. I would love to be healed from it. But then if I hadn’t had gone through that, there would be no books… More from JoyI live in a most beautiful area of the UK, on the coast of Wales, surrounded by a stunning landscape of mountains, forests and sea. This is an area that is not only stunning in its natural beauty but also rich with history; castles, abbeys, old churches, and ancient pilgrimage routes. These things inspire my writing, which is why my books are set in medieval Wales, and feature abbeys, monks, knights and maidens. No dragons though! And no murders! Some years ago now my life was forever changed when I became unexpectedly ill, from what was later diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue. Months of being able to do very little turned into years. Years where I lost much including my job and career, experiences with my children which I will never get back, and my role in ministry. Through this time I questioned all that I had known of God. I had followed Jesus all my life but when things got really tough it felt like He had abandoned me. I didn’t know if I could trust Him any more, if He really cared, if all that I had once believed was actually true. Over time God pursued me, revealing His love for me in unexpected ways, using others to display Himself, helping me to rediscover my faith and choose to trust Him again. In writing my books I wanted to tell my own story, but through the fictional lives of characters living centuries ago. The Healing, my first novel, told my story of healing and redemption, and no-one was more surprised than I when the book was published. But God had given me a gift to write and He wasn’t finished with one book. The Stranger is actually my fourth novel and the most personal in many ways. The central character has to navigate what it feels like to question his faith in the face of devastating disappointment. I think this is something that many Christians can equate with. The story follows him as he tries to turn his back on his God, and discovers that God does not give up the pursuit of those He loves. It is my story. God pursued me and would not let me go. He is the lover of my soul and has proved faithful. I want my books to carry hope, and to glorify Him. I love the Word of God. It has been my place of comfort and strength through tough times. My books are littered with scriptural truth, and I make no apologies for that. It is the truth, and believing in the truth, that sets us free.

Haunted by the echoes of past failures on the battlefield, he seeks solace in music, hoping to find belonging among fellow musicians. His quest leads him to Mistel Wepp, a spirited songstress determined to forge her own path on stage. For too long, Mistel has been bound by a past of confinement and control. Now on her own, she toils tirelessly to make her mark, but the struggle to earn a living in a world that fails to appreciate her talents proves exhausting. When she connects Cole with the future king and discovers he's a skilled lutist, she sees an opportunity to change her future. When a heinous crime leaves Mistel’s roommate dead, she turns to Cole for help. Despite his inexperience as an investigator, Cole vows to uncover the truth. Together, they delve into the dark alleys of Armonguard, uncovering a sinister web of secrets and sorcery that threatens the kingdom. As their journey unfolds, their shared love of music catches the attention of the king, who commissions them to compose a song for his upcoming wedding, offering a glimpse of normalcy amid adversity. Can Cole and Mistel prevail against enemies wielding dark magic? Or will they become the next casualties in a deadly game of power? Publisher: Sunrise Publishing Release Date: January 7, 2025 Genre: Medieval Fantasy  My Review Can they uncover the truth before it's too late... Well, I must admit that Squire Of Truth was a bit of a surprise. Who would have thought of combining a YA-ish fantasy tale with a murder mystery? Well, Jill Williamson as a matter of fact. She, is actually the reason I picked up this first Blood Of Kings: Legends novel as I have enjoyed several of her previous books – some of them set in the same fantasy realm. I really enjoyed this story from start to finish. Jill Williamson skillfully blended just the right amount of fantasy and magic with mystery and deduction. Her worldbuilding is as vivid and detailed as ever and her characters are quite likable. I must admit that as much as liked Mistel, I loved Cole. His insecurities and attempts to measure up – even when he already has – are so endearing. The mystery angle is also well done. It is properly set up and the various threads carry all the way through to story. I must admit that I didn't always expect the direction that the solution took them as the characters investigated and it was fun to be surprised a little. Squire Of Truth was a a very enjoyable read. The pacing and length of the story nicely proportionate and the ending left me wanting to read the next Blood Of Kings: Legends book. I'm just hoping the wait won't be too long... Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Squire Of Truth by Jill Williamson a 4.5 Bark rating. (I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)  Abducted. Trapped. Hunted. Grace Benson must find a way out… or die trying. After her harrowing escape from a kill order, Grace thought she’d return to a normal life, only to be abducted from her home. Meanwhile, FBI investigations into the murders of a congressman and his staff uncover a shocking link to Grace’s abduction, threatening international stability. Desperate to survive, Grace allies with an unlikely partner—a child who knows the bunker’s secrets—but as they navigate the treacherous tunnel system, a misplaced step echoes through the corridors, alerting a deranged captor who now closes in, gun in hand. If you like Alex Cross, Gabriel Allon, you will like this unpredictable, fast-paced suspense thriller. Genre: Christian Mystery, Thriller Release Date: September 24, 2024  Excerpt from Hidden SecretsSimon swirled his Scotch to consider his answer. “I can neither confirm—” “Or deny it.” Javier finished the sentence. “The standard answer. Pretty much tells me she’s still attached to Langley.” “Why the sudden interest? What rumors have you heard?” Olivia recently uncovered the mole. Everyone believed that was the end of it. Or did someone finally find out she was Phoenix? Javier shrugged. “Just curious is all. The task force 629 you guys are consulting with is mysterious.” Simon wiped away a ring someone’s glass must’ve left on the bar. He didn’t even know they assigned a number to Ron’s task force. He always thought of it as the Ghost task force. “Classified stuff is always mysterious. If it’s an open book, it wouldn’t be classified. So, tell me about Liz. Still trying to get you to lose weight?” Javier laughed. “Always.” They chitchatted in this vein until Javier clattered his glass back onto the counter. His scowl returned before whispered words rushed out. “I don’t know what to do.” “About?” Simon’s concern deepened at the shift in Javier’s tone.

My Review
Each and everyone must make a choice....
J.J. Fischer had me hooked with the first book in the Nightingale Trilogy, she had me intrigued with the second book, but this third one was engrossing in a different way....
To be sure, J.J. Fischer's vivid worldbuilding, captivating attention to detail, and mad storytelling skills were ever present and accounted for, however, there was something deeper and even more heartfelt about Memoria. Even the title of this final Nightingale Trilogy novel, Memoria, has a more solemn and introspective feel to it.
Trust me, this book is full of emotion. And you will run the gamut as you turn the pages be they print or digital. The characters must face not only the utter darkness before dawn but they also must face themselves and the infinite need for redemption and forgiveness.
Bittersweet, it was and is a fitting conclusion to the Nightingale Trilogy, though there is supposed to be a companion novel that I am intensely looking forward to reading. As with any good fantasy/dystopian novel there is a dark tone to the series – particularly in Memoria – that not only makes it perfect for older teen and and adult readers, but is also makes the light of hope shine all the brighter.
Anyway, cannot recommend this series from J.J. Fischer highly enough. Read them in order but definitely do read them all if you are a fan of Christian fantasy and/or dystopian fiction. They really are a MUST read....
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Memoria by J.J. Fischer a 4.5 Bark rating.

More from J.J.
Have you ever felt God’s comfort in the midst of a horrific trial?
In 2021, midway through writing Memoria (Book 3 of The Nightingale Trilogy), my husband Dave and I were blindsided by his discovery of several sizable lumps on his neck. Those lumps turned out to be lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes), requiring immediate treatment.
2021 had already been a shocking year for us (and everyone else!). I’d lost both my remaining grandparents in the space of a few months. We were in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and one of the harshest lockdowns my state of New South Wales (Australia) had yet seen—which would necessitate going into further isolation while Dave underwent chemotherapy. And while I’d just received a diagnosis for my chronic illness, my recurring migraines (sometimes multiple a week) made it difficult for me to reliably drive Dave to and from his chemotherapy sessions.
But in one of the hardest times of our lives thus far, God provided. Dave made it through his chemo and has been in remission for some time now (though we’re still dealing with the consequences of the treatment in regards to fertility). I was able to drive him to all but two of his chemo sessions, and family and friends supported us in incredible ways. I’ve now received treatment for my chronic illness, which has helped me significantly and allowed me to take on more work as a freelance editor.
Eventually, I got back to Memoria, and wrote the second half of the story. And now, in hindsight, I can see the importance of God’s timing. Because Memoria is a story about pain—how we respond to it, what we do with it, and how it can poison our soul, if we let it. And ultimately, this book points to Jesus, the only one who can handle that pain, that poison, without succumbing Himself.
Are you struggling with a well of pain and suffering (and/or sin) in your own life? Perhaps not just things that you’ve done, but things that have been done to you? Are you struggling to keep your head above the raging waters, feeling swamped and pummeled by all God’s waves and breakers (Psalm 42:7)?
For starters, I want you to know that God keeps track of all your sorrows, every tear you cry (Psalm 56:8). You might feel invisible to the world, but you are not invisible to God. He knows everything about you, even the things you’ve never shared with anyone before. Even the pain you might not yourself have acknowledged.
The second piece of encouragement I want to share is that God promises to one day wipe all those tears from your eyes (Revelation 21:4). He won’t let those tears fall endlessly into eternity, ruining the perfect future He has in store for you. He will comfort you. He will bring you into his house, rejoicing over you. He can handle your pain (even the poison) without succumbing. Even your death is not the end of the story, because death was not the end of His.
I wrote The Nightingale Trilogy partly to deal with the pain of things in my own life. But as this series draws to a close, I hope it is a blessing to you in whatever season you’re going through right now (or will go through in future). I hope it reminds you of Eternity, and that you are greatly loved by the God who died to reclaim your soul.
God bless,
J. J. Fischer
In 2021, midway through writing Memoria (Book 3 of The Nightingale Trilogy), my husband Dave and I were blindsided by his discovery of several sizable lumps on his neck. Those lumps turned out to be lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes), requiring immediate treatment.
2021 had already been a shocking year for us (and everyone else!). I’d lost both my remaining grandparents in the space of a few months. We were in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and one of the harshest lockdowns my state of New South Wales (Australia) had yet seen—which would necessitate going into further isolation while Dave underwent chemotherapy. And while I’d just received a diagnosis for my chronic illness, my recurring migraines (sometimes multiple a week) made it difficult for me to reliably drive Dave to and from his chemotherapy sessions.
But in one of the hardest times of our lives thus far, God provided. Dave made it through his chemo and has been in remission for some time now (though we’re still dealing with the consequences of the treatment in regards to fertility). I was able to drive him to all but two of his chemo sessions, and family and friends supported us in incredible ways. I’ve now received treatment for my chronic illness, which has helped me significantly and allowed me to take on more work as a freelance editor.

| A mutilated healer with a tender heart, an anguished king with a missing twin, and a maniacal sorcerer who intends to have his way no matter the cost are inextricably connected in this retelling of a little-known fairy tale called The Maiden Without Hands. When Elia and her parents take in an injured stranger, they have no idea of the chaos he will shortly bring to their lives. The stranger, a sorcerer named Thorn, becomes enamored of Elia. When he is rebuffed, he commits an unthinkable act, leaving Elia maimed, distraught, and separated from her family. Adam is the ruler of Haven, a role he always expected to share with his twin sister. When the latter suddenly disappears, he is consumed with his need to find her. Will he ever find peace–even if he doesn’t find his sister? How will the disfigured young woman he finds along the way help him? And what will happen when the sorcerer finds them both? |  |

I’ll share my life verse. It’s Jeremiah 29:11:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares
the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
This verse resonates with me because I grew up thinking nothing good was ever going to happen to me. This verse reminds me that’s not true!
More from Michelle
I have always loved fairy tales. From the time I could read, I loved curling up with a book of fairy tales, immersing myself in imaginary lands where kings and queens ruled, unicorns were real, and everyone (eventually) had their happily ever after. As I grew older, the love for fairy tales turned into a love for fantasy novels. My fascination with words in general turned into a love of writing, so, naturally, I began to write fantasy.
The Maiden Without Hands came to be because I had been wanting to retell a fairy tale in my own way. I didn’t want it to be one with which everyone was familiar, so I began reading through old Brothers Grimm books, focusing on their lesser known stories. When I came across the story of a virtuous young woman tormented by an evil sorcerer, I knew I had found my tale. What appealed to me was the fact that there were already some Christian elements to the story. I took the skeleton of the story and fleshed it out, adding my own elements to create The Maiden Without Hands.
It’s my hope that this tale will transport you to the world of Haven, and that the characters will resonate with you as they cry, laugh, dream, and discover their faith. It is also my hope that you will find something stirring in your own soul as you travel through the pages of this book.
So, are you ready? Once Upon a Time…

Interview with Monique and G.L.
Monique's answers are in Blue and G.L.'s answers are in Green.
#1. How long did it take to finish writing this book?
About 9 years too long. But life happens that way sometimes. I invited a good friend, G.L., to help me write the rest of the series. We’ve also written the next 2 books in the series. In addition, he has written and drawn the illustrations for 2 picture books. We both have separate books we are writing and I have stories in two anthologies that are coming out this year. - (Monique)

We both have separate books we are writing and I have stories in two anthologies that are coming out this year. - (Monique)
#2. What drew you to write in this particular genre?
It depends on which genre you are asking about. The reason I write middle grade/upper middle grade is I think the tween/early teen years are fascinating. So much is going on during these formative years and kids are amazing. When you take the time to talk with them and learn about what they think is important, you may remember when life had so many possibilities.
I also write contemporary, “real-life with humor” because there is a lot to love about life. The resilience of human beings and what they are capable of doing, being, and achieving when allowed to explore the world and their dreams is astonishing. And if you can do it with a friend and a sense of humor, most people are capable of amazing feats.
Both of these genres work well in our Ginnie West series. Chase Your Dreams West is also technically a family drama. Something G.L. and I both like to write. - (Monique)

#3. Do you have favorite character(s) in this book?
Truthfully, I love them all. I am partial to Queenie West, Ginnie’s mom, because she is the only character inspired by a real person–someone who is near and dear to me and championed me when I needed a friend. She passed away years ago, but even so, her friendship inspires me and like Queenie, death doesn’t get in the way of loving her friends and family.
I’m also partial to Aunt Roni. Because she’s sincere, kind, classy, and compassionate. She’s not afraid to admit when she’s wrong nor is she afraid to do what is right–even when the right thing is hard. She wants to be a part of Ginnie and Toran’s life–and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to mend the fences between the Strattons and the Wests. - (Monique)
CD, Breaker, and Mrs. Parker. I created them. The other characters were in place and I had to learn to deal with them. Kind of like becoming an in-law, but glad you don’t live there. - (G.L.)

#4. What do you hope your readers will take away with them when they read this book?
People make mistakes and when they are sincere about making amends, forgiveness blesses everybody involved. Forgiveness is about replacing hurt and bad feelings with peace and healing. Sometimes you need to forgive people who have hurt you so you can go on with your life in a meaningful way… with or without allowing those people back into your life. - (Monique)
The West’s are a microcosm of the world right now and the extraordinary steps needed to survive…and flourish. If they inspire others to do whatever it takes to make their lives meaningful and to touch others, everyone wins. - (G.L.)

#7. What one piece of advice would you like to give readers?
Take the time to make and be a good friend. Good friends make life an amazing experience. Don’t waste time with people who make you question your standards and beliefs or make you doubt what you know is true. Good friends lift each other up. Even if you only have one or two good friends, you are truly blessed. - (Monique)

Near the front porch of my Grandfather’s house was the only source of drinking water, a red cast iron hand pump and a ceramic pitcher next to a sign: “Always leave enough for the next one to prime the pump.” Through the years I’ve come to appreciate the eternal implications of that request. - (G.L.)

Ginnie & Toran’s Great Escape:
More from Monique
Chase Your Dreams West: A Ginnie West Adventure took me too long to finish. I was working on it when one of my sons was killed in a car accident. I paused writing for a few years as our family adjusted to losing Ryan.
An author friend invited me to a writer’s retreat a few years ago, knowing I was stuck and that week unlocked a lot of things for me. Including deciding to change where I placed what is now the first four chapters. I wrote them two books ago thinking they would make a great denouement, but after my son’s death, I realized they would make a better beginning.
This book is a little different from the first four as Ginnie explores horsemanship training with her mare, Calliope–with her dad’s blessing, and perhaps is given a little help from her mom. Ginnie is given back one of her mom’s journals and gets to know the mom she doesn’t really remember and her dad didn’t really talk about… until recently.

This book is a little different from the first four as Ginnie explores horsemanship training with her mare, Calliope–with her dad’s blessing, and perhaps is given a little help from her mom. Ginnie is given back one of her mom’s journals and gets to know the mom she doesn’t really remember and her dad didn’t really talk about… until recently.

| You’ve been warned many times, you cannot trust the kings . . . The old queen is dead, a new queen is in play, and the realm has descended into darkness. For the first time in history, a queen has rejected the game. Eliza will start her reign with no alliances while Althea must fight to save her tenuous bond with the king who cannot love. Her relationship threatens to break, but Althea’s attention becomes divided after receiving a few harrowing clues connecting her past and the game at hand. Before she can find answers, a mysterious fae appears promising the power of the seventh king to whoever can solve a series of riddles, leaving the fae realm in shambles as they race to come out on top. Althea has one year left. New alliances are forged. Old stories come to life. She must make her move, or the fate of the queens will consume her.

My Review
Hearts will be cracked and the realm shaken....
Wow! I thought the first book in The Fae Dynasty duology was good...but this, this I think may have been even better. Lethal Kings is one wild ride of intrigue, betrayal, mystery, and sacrifice – with just a touch of romance. Victoria McCombs kept me on the edge of my seat as Thea plays a dangerous game with the highest of all stakes – her life and that of the other Mortal Queens....
Lethal Kings and The Fae Dynasty duology is everything that I love about the fantasy sub-genre. It is deliciously dark as all stories featuring the devious, manipulative, and sometimes capricious fae should be. The twists and turns keep you guessing as you second guess the motives of pretty much every single character. And the best part? You get to read all of that without the objectionable content that often comes with stories of the fae realms.
Victoria McCombs is a definite master of storytelling and worldbuilding. Both the fae and mortal realms are vividly depicted and the little things that make a story like this one great – things like history, culture, and rules of magic – are not skimped upon. The past and present are cleverly woven together so that there is a purpose and a reason for everything and each part completes the other.
As you can tell I loved both of The Fae Dynasty books and I am now a confirmed fan of Victoria McCombs. Whether you are an adult or teen who loves fantasy and/or fae fiction I definitely recommend Lethal Kings and its predecessor as they are a tale you won't be able to put down....
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Lethal Kings by Victoria McCombs a 5 Bark rating.

More from Victoria
This book came differently to me than my other ones.
It was less plot and structure, and more—what kind of book do I want to write?
I wanted riddles for them to solve, which created the Gamemaster character. I wanted a healthy family aspect, which began the process of repairing the relationships I’d burned in book one. And I wanted a character who knew exactly what she wanted and never waivered from that. Other scenes came from these wishes, like the chess game where the players are the chess pieces, and the War of Hearts played in the labyrinth.
Together, I think it blended nicely, and I can’t wait for readers to get ahold of it!

Becca Hope: Book Obsessed, November 29
Jesus proved who He was by signs and wonders. Here, pastors and restoration ministers C.B. Caleb Woodworth and intercessor wife, Emily Anne, are ready to serve you a banquet of real-life God Stories, personal testimonies of Jesus’ unique, inexplicable, extraordinary, and supernatural ways to illustrate, once again, He is still the same yesterday, today, and forever.
If you’ve ever wondered whether God was still performing miracles in our day, this series will be a welcome reminder of his power and goodness.

Excerpt from Kisses From Heaven
Unbelief always whittles faith down to whatever size and shape fits the niche that unbelief has carved out for itself. Experiential spirituality then becomes a progressively smaller piece of the pie; check out the “Jesus Seminar” or the far liberal side of the church (no offense intended, dear ones) for ways to mitigate, minimize, or explain away the unique, inexplicable, extraordinary, and supernatural. Or if you have a chance, pick up the Jefferson Bible.
Now, to those of you not offended or prepared to put this book upon the shelf, I will unrepentantly say: “If you do not believe in the unique, inexplicable, extraordinary, or supernatural, it is because you do not read your Bible or have never experienced God in this way.” You may be a devoted, well-intentioned, and faithful Christian, but, like Thomas the Doubter himself (who, you will agree, knew our Savior well), require Jesus to show you the beef before you believe. The reason you have not seen the beef is uncomplicated: You believe those unique, inexplicable, extraordinary, or supernatural experiences are not for today; this is not criticism, but it is reality. Truthfully, Thomas, this book may help you.

 C.B. Caleb and Emily Woodworth | A Marine aviator and family physician, C.B. Caleb Woodworth and Proverbs 31 wife, Emily, left the world to follow Holy Spirit as restoration (inner healing) missionary pastors over the last twenty-six years. Today, the Woodworths continue ministry among those in need from America’s heartland, making the most of their time, for the days are short. |

| To be picture perfect on the outside can cause people to think you have it all together on the inside. Which is exactly the case for Hope Meyer. Stuck in a dead-end job with no vision for her future, parents arguing at home and newly-single under terms she bitterly objects to, Hope puts on a brave front in the face of friends. Only, she’s not as subtle as she thinks. Called out on her pretense by a close friend and, drawn into a mission project that causes her to question everything she’s been led to believe, Hope finds herself floundering. Until recently, the perfect hair, manicured nails, a wardrobe straight out of a fashion magazine and a handsome suitor by her side had defined her. Now seeing those things as insignificant, and understanding why her boyfriend left, Hope turns to her youth minister for help; with one burning question in mind: Who was she? |  |
Set on a path of self-discovery, Hope finds her day to day both unraveling and piecing together like a jigsaw as her perception begins to alter.
Will she embrace how God defines her and ultimately learn what true happiness is?

Interview with K.J.
#1. How long did it take to finish writing this book?
Approximately 18 months.
Approximately 18 months.
#2. What drew you to write in this particular genre?
Books are incredibly powerful for a developing mind. My desire to write in this genre is to give young readers a wholesome read that will encourage their faith, remind them they have an eternal purpose and deepen their love for Jesus. For those who may not be Christian but are looking for a clean read, I would love the Youth Group scenes I write about to grow an interest in the reader to the point they go and find a local Youth Group to join in the fun!

#3. What do you hope your readers will take away with them when they read this book?
That the plan Jesus has for our lives is so much greater than we could ever have for ourselves. We just need to surrender and let Him do His great work within us.
That the plan Jesus has for our lives is so much greater than we could ever have for ourselves. We just need to surrender and let Him do His great work within us.
#4. If you could change one thing in your life, past or present, what would it be?
There are things in a way I wish I could have a do over in, but those things have created who I am today. That is why the Bible instructs us to not look back, but to keep moving forward. The Lord is doing a great work in all of us, and our past is apart of that. Sharing our testimonies of what Jesus has done in us and brought us out from is so important to those around us, if we changed anything the impact would be lost.

#5. What one piece of advice would you like to give readers?
You become the company you keep. I was given that piece of advice in my early days of high school and it’s stuck with me since. As I matured, I realised it is wisdom from the Bible. 1 Corinthians 15:33 NIV “Do not be mislead: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’”

#6. Share with us a thought, Bible verse, whatever is on your mind/heart.
The screen saver on my phone at the moment is: Blessed to be a Blessing. From the promise God gave to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3. Each of us have so much, if we practice giving what the Lord has blessed us with, we can share His love so much further and with so much greater impact to those who many be struggling around us.

Hey! Thanks for stopping by!
Casts of Silver is my debut five book series. The series is centered around five youth group leaders, with the stories looking at very real circumstances that young people face in today’s world without sugar coating consequences of individual actions.
However, God is always at work.
But where is He when problems arise?
Well, He is always closer than you think and He’s always working for your good!
Enjoy.
God Bless

 K.J. Rowe | Since I could hold a pencil, I’ve be writing. In primary school, I wrote stories about my pets, my own version of princess stories, a classroom crush… In high school, I wrote stories about horses, adventures, my sister… However, as strong as the writing hobby was, I still pursued a career in Veterinary Nursing. It wasn’t until God intervened and moved me out of the city and into a small country town to be a farmer’s wife, that he resurfaced the writing desire – and gave me the stories. So was born my debut series, each book holding a part of my own testimony, Casts of Silver. It is my prayer that you enjoy the journey these stories take you on, and that they challenge, encourage and inspire you. |

Reading and history have been my passion since early childhood when my parents encouraged both. I was introduced to Christian fiction around age 4-5 while listening to radio drama adaptations of books by great authors including Janette Oke. I have been a voracious reader and avid library patron ever since. I started Tell Tale Book Reviews in December 2012. I am also an active volunteer in the areas I hold most dear, library, museum, and pets. Hobbies include a small bead jewelry business, watching classic movies/ TV, listening to Irish/Celtic music, and autograph collecting.
