Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Maxine Justice: Public Offender by Daniel Schwabauer (Give.away)

12/20/2025

The case she didn’t need. The client she
didn’t want. The trial she couldn’t win.

Fresh off her single-handed defense against alien adversaries in a galactic courtroom, Maxine Justice discovers that saving the Earth is not enough to earn a hero’s welcome back home. Once again broke and now looking for revenge, her return to night court as a public defender takes an immediate detour when she’s tasked with defending a Therapod murder suspect.
The case drags her into the quirky theories of her new client, Father Gilbert Barthes, and the corrupt underbelly of corporate robotics. As her defense takes on global significance, Maxine lands squarely in the crosshairs of new enemies determined to conceal their plans for acquiring the planet. Worse, her probably guilty client may be the only one who can expose what’s really happening.
Stripped of all credibility and most of her friends, can Maxine find some way to save humanity when the world is bent on self-destruction? Or will Earth finally succumb to the most unlikely deception?

My Review

Crazy conspiracy or terrifying takeover?

This was one of those cases where the cover caught my eye before anything else. After I read the blurb I was entirely intrigued. A story that is both futuristic/sc-fi and a courtroom drama? I've been trying to branch out a little in my reading habits so definitely count me in.

Maxine Justice: Public Offender turned out to be every bit as interesting as anticipated. The mix of futuristic technology and the familiar – think robots that are all but human alongside everyday cars, cellphones and intergalactic travel. I must admit that I found it as fascinating as I did Maxine's fight to save her client and, in turn, the world.

Daniel Schwabauer paints a vivid world in this story and delves into some unexpected territory surrounding the origin of faith – is it a choice or merely programming – and as the use of AI grows, a question that the world will be asking at some point – can created artificial intelligence become more than its programming?

Don't get me wrong, Maxine Justice: Public Offender is an entertaining, slightly edgy, story that made for a fun read. I really came to like Maxine, she can be a bit mercenary and is definitely out for revenge, but she also fights hard for her clients and tries to protect those closest to her even as she holds them at arm's length.

Since I haven't read the first Maxine Justice book, I was glad to find that this second one was its own story. Daniel Schwabauer did a great job building onto the first story while providing enough resolution to the continued story arc in book 2. And, much to my interest, there is the foundation for and promise of at least one more Maxine Justice tale....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Maxine Justice: Public Offender by Daniel Schwabauer a 4 Bark rating.

More from Daniel

I tend to get three questions from people who only know me from the Night Court Channel or watching my defense of planet Earth on the global broadcast that made me famous. To the first, no, I haven’t seen a penny of the money I’m owed because the feds froze ALL of my bank accounts, even my personal savings. Second, traveling in a space-egg with a pastoroid was not as terrifying as it sounds—except that I had no way to escape Counselor Singh’s dad jokes. And third, no, even though my cat is still missing, I do not want one of your kittens, thank you very much.

Maxine Justice, LLC is your only source for first-hand legal advice pertaining to extraterrestrial medical malpractice, predatory off-world time-sharing contracts, and “surprise implants” experiences at the Coliseum.

We’re also the only law firm committed to exposing what’s really happening in the world of artificial humans.

Ever wondered how Counselor Singh could be targeted on the steps of the UN building during a heavily-covered press conference, yet six months later law enforcement still claims they have no idea who the shooter was? Doesn’t it seem odd that they turned the forensic evidence over to Singh’s manufacturer instead of using a neutral third party?

If I were an artificial person, I’d be screaming these questions from the rooftop. Yet we haven’t heard a peep from that community since it happened.

That’s not some wild conspiracy. That’s fear.

Which is where I come in.

If you’re a TheraPod concerned about your future in a world spiraling out of control— if you’re a pastoroid, a rabbot, a podre, an e-mam, a surgicon EZ Doc, or any other model of artificial person and you face a legal dilemma involving your own termination and/or the fate of biological humans, give me a call.

If you’re a regular human and you’ve been railroaded by York City’s legal system, targeted by ruthless corporate bullies, or victimized by inhuman—and I do mean not-at-all-human—business practices, talk to me.

I’m not in it for the money.

I don’t have any!

I’m in it for my name—for Justice.

And I promise you this: I won’t smile until you do.

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Mail-Order Duchess by Misty M. Beller (Give.away)

12/6/2025

5 Comments

Five sons of an English duke,
all raised in the Rocky Mountains…
A marriage born of duty. A love neither expected.

When Enoch Balfour’s eldest brother tragically dies, the weight of family responsibility falls on his shoulders. Now this Montana rancher must train for his role as the next Duke of Clarence—and marry the mail-order bride his brother sent for. Hardened by loss, Enoch has no intention of opening his heart to a stranger, but duty demands he produce an heir.
Mandie Beaumont is a desperate young widow fleeing the sinister advances of her brother-in-law. After arriving in the Montana Territory to marry a man she’s never met, an accident leaves her robbed of her recent memories—memories that conceal a devastating secret. When she discovers she’s carrying a child conceived through betrayal and violence, Mandie fears rejection and ruin. Yet, in Enoch, she finds an unexpected protector whose fierce gentleness makes her long to trust again.
Though Mandie’s charm and resilience begin to thaw Enoch’s guarded heart, he struggles with his fear of loss. When Mandie’s past resurfaces, Enoch must risk everything to save her. If he fails, Mandie will be torn from him—and the love they’ve begun to embrace could be lost forever.

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a royal family saga featuring a mail-order bride, amnesia, a secret baby, and an aristocratic marriage of convenience…all set in the rugged Montana Territory.

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

My Review

Can they find the peace they so desperately need....

I've enjoyed several of Misty M. Beller's series set in Montana so I was excited to see a new one in that much-loved setting. I'll also admit that the series name, Lords Of The Rockies, sounded quite intriguing as well.

Mail-Order Duchess lived up to expectation. It has the sweet historical romance punctuated with moments of pulse-pounding danger that I've come to expect from this author. It also features Misty M. Beller's almost trademark small cast of characters, it is so much easier for the reader to keep track of precisely who is who and get a chance to know each of them, and there is even a fun cameo appearance of a couple of characters from another book/series.

A little shorter than some of her other titles, Mail-Order Duchess was a good read and I finished it rather quickly. I genuinely liked both Mandie and Enoch right from the start. Each of them has a past and both are harboring intense pain and very understandable fears. By the final pages of this Lords Of The Rockies book they will both have to face their fears and just maybe conquer them together.

Misty M. Beller is off to a good new series start with this book. I did like Mail-Order Duchess and am now quite interested in reading the next title in the Lords Of The Rockies series. If you enjoy a good faith-filled historical romance and a western frontier setting give this book and series a try....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Mail-Order Duchess by Misty M. Beller a 4 Bark rating.

More from Misty

Hello Reader Friends!

I’m BEYOND excited to share a brand new series with you! This idea has been percolating in my mind for a couple years now—a mash-up of two of my favorite historical romance genres: Regency England and the rugged American West.

In the Lords of the Rockies series, you’ll meet the five sons of an English duke who were sent to the wilds of the Montana Territory for their protection when they were boys. They’ve grown up there, become ranchers and mountain men in their own right.

It’s Regency meets the Rockies as these aristocratic brothers navigate the challenges of ranch life.

I’m especially excited to introduce you to the first book in the series, Mail-Order Duchess!

Enoch Balfour is one of my all-time favorite heroes…so incredibly swoony. He’s the second son, which means he never thought he would have to return to England and take over his father’s role as the Duke of Clarence. But now his eldest brother has passed in an unexpected riding accident. And Enoch has become the heir intended.

Can you imagine how hard that must have been? Suddenly having to leave the only life you’ve ever known to take up the duties of a title an ocean away?

And then there’s Mandie Beaumont, a young widow hoping for a fresh start in Montana. But when she arrives, an accident steals her recent memories, leaving her with no idea why she left her comfortable life in Savannah to travel across the country and marry a rancher she’s never met. Or maybe her previous life wasn’t so comfortable…

Can you imagine waking up one day to find yourself in a strange place with no recollection of how you got there or what you were running from?

I don’t want to give away too much, but let’s just say Mail-Order Duchess has all the ingredients for a story you won’t be able to put down—a marriage of convenience, hidden secrets, and an unlikely romance blossoming in the face of incredible odds. I’m so excited to share this story with you!

I’ve had such fun crafting the unique premise of an English aristocratic family making their way in the American West. Get ready for more heartfelt Western adventures tinged with Regency flair as the Lords of the Rockies series continues!
I pray you love Mail-Order Duchess!

Blessings!
Misty

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Sons Of Day & Night by Mariposa Aristeo (Give.away)

11/29/2025

4 Comments

Not even death can tell them apart.

In the wild and lush kingdom of Twinsbane, everyone has a look-alike, and each twin is cursed to die when their double breathes their last. When an ancient plague arises, the kingdom’s only hope is to sever these deadly ties. Yet King Daccias refuses to relinquish the cure, a legendary potion called the Separator.

Waruu, an orphan determined to break these ties, discovers he’s the king’s doppelgänger. He’s certain that if he can switch places, he can save the kingdom. But if anyone learns his true identity, he’ll lose everything—including the people he’s desperately trying to protect.

King Daccias wants nothing more than for his subjects to cease threatening to behead him if he doesn’t hand over the Separator. Intent on catching those opposing him, he finds himself ensnared in his own trap. If he doesn’t break loose, the kingdom will rest in the hands of an insolent boy who knows nothing about the truth behind the events unfolding around him.

To save their kingdom, both Waruu and Daccias must face their greatest enemy—each other.

My Review

Will they save the kingdom or tear it apart....

Everyone in Twinsbane has a double. When that double dies, so do they. What an interesting concept. And a frightening one. Honestly, it's what first caught my attention about Sons Of Day & Night and what kept me glued to the page.

I'll admit that it took me a little bit to get into the first Chronicles Of Twinsbane novel as it felt like I was dropped into a story that had already started. However, it didn't take me too long to get into the swing of things and I was hooked on the rather interesting story.

One of the things that I liked about this book is that Mariposa Aristeo chose to write a retelling. But it's not any old fairytale retelling, instead it is of the classic Mark Twain book called The Prince And The Pauper. I did read The Prince And The Pauper years ago as a kid in school, and watched the old Wishbone show, so I am at least a little bit familiar with the story. I felt that The Sons Of Day & Night was pretty good as a retelling. The bones of the familiar story are there but Mariposa Aristeo also makes it her own.

Mariposa Aristeo's worldbuilding is pretty good in this first Chronicles Of Twinsbane book. From city to castle to jungle it all comes to life quite vividly. I also thought it was rather fun that versions of the word 'double' are used quite often in the story – which, is rather fitting since the realm is called Twinsbane.

Overall, The Sons Of Day & Night was a pretty good read. It did end on something of a cliffhanger so I am now rather anxious to find out what happens next to Waruu and Daccias in the next Chronicles of Twinsbane book. I'm also curious to discover just how far they are willing to go to save their kingdom....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Sons Of Day & Night by Mariposa Aristeo a 4 Bark rating.

How could I refuse to write a retelling of The Prince & the Pauper?

(Kudos to all the zillennial girls who get that reference.)

Ever since I watched the Barbie rendition of this classic tale when I was just a little girl, this story has been on my heart. As I grew older, other more adventurous tales influenced me, such as Dreamwork’s How to Train Your Dragon, Jennifer Nielsen’s The False Prince, Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, and more recently, Star Wars’ The Bad Batch.

But no matter the story, one aspect stayed the same—finding people just like me in the unlikeliest of places.

Growing up, I had a different childhood than most. I was pretty isolated with little to no friends, and not much extended family. It wasn’t until my twenties that I met the people who would later become my true family. They weren’t blood relations, and we didn’t interact in person until years later (yay for internet friends!). We are different in all the best ways but the same in the ways that matter and weird in the way that makes life interesting.

The Prince & the Pauper is a story about many things. Empathy, compassion, and learning what it’s like to live in another person’s shoes. When I set out to write Sons of Day & Night, I wanted to pay homage to this underrated tale while deepening the bond between the two very different (but also very alike) heroes. It’s not just a story about switched identities, it’s a story about the family we find even when our world is falling apart.

When my mom passed away from cancer in 2022, I felt like my world truly was falling to pieces. Besides losing a parent, I also lost what little I had of a normal family. But my found family came together to be there for me and be the family I never had.

We don’t share the same genetics, but they are every bit as much my brothers and sisters. As Stitch once said, “This is my family. I found it all on my own.”

Fast forward a few years, and I now live within 60 miles of my found family and see them almost every week. It’s funny to think how a few internet strangers became such a huge part of my life, but sometimes God sends us family in the places we least expect it.

And my hope is that Sons of Day & Night will remind you that there’s always someone out there just like you.

Mariposa Aristeo is a writer of fantastical adventures filled with heart, humor, hope, and sometimes dinosaurs.

Book Review - The Amish Nanny's Secret by Amy Lillard

11/9/2025

2 Comments

Will a temporary arrangement
turn into the love she needs?

Naomi Ebersol has always felt like the black sheep of her Amish community, and even more so now that she’s been accepted into art school. It’ll be difficult leaving Millers Creek behind, but she longs to follow her heart. To pay for her tuition, she agrees to be a nanny for widower Josias Schrock, who needs help caring for his five energetic little boys. Only now, everyone in their community thinks they’re engaged! Being around his family starts to feel all too real. But how can Naomi choose between the dream she’s always wanted…and the promise of love?

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

ISBN-13: ‎978-1335621146

My Review

5 boys + 1 summer job = Pandemonium and Romance...

It's no secret that I enjoy Amy Lillard's Amish fiction. From her cozy mysteries all the way through to her Love Inspired titles like this one. The Amish Nanny's Secret is a sweet story and for me was a relatively quick read. I liked both Naomi and Josias. Both of them feel like genuine people. They stick their feet in their mouths on a somewhat regular basis and they have a good case of miscommunication and assumption going on. However, it was the 5 little boys that made me laugh and quite won my heart. They are too adorable in their childhood mishaps and blunders. However, that childish openness might be just what Naomi and Josias need. Anyway, after reading several fantasy, adventure, and suspense books in a row it was nice to sit back and simply enjoy a sweet romance. Besides, what could go wrong with - and be more fun than - finger paints, burnt oatmeal, and a kitten....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Amish Nanny's Secret by Amy Lillard a 4 Bark rating.

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Glass Across The Sea by Sara Ella (Giveaway)

11/3/2025

Light always finds a way to break free . . .

Noelle Perrault has felt drawn to the tales her glassmaker father told of the four Firefly artisans since she was a child. But when her mother falls under a curse, Noelle suspects the stories are more than mere fables. Their last hope is for her father to embark on a desperate journey to another realm, where he must seek a miracle. Alone but not defenseless, Noelle is forced to navigate battles that rise against her beloved home, while her dearest friend, the prince, vows to help her father.
Dante Marin is a prince prepared to bear the crown. But the king offers an ultimatum: find the fabled Firefly Vestiges, believed to hold the Lamplighter’s ancient power, or forfeit the crown. Only then will Dante be considered worthy of his birthright and given the freedom to choose his bride. But how does one hunt down a legend?
Connected by the past, but forced apart in the present, Noelle and Dante must discover the truth about the Firefly and Vestiges before they lose all hope—and each other—for good. But breaking a curse comes at a great sacrifice—one neither of them predicted. With a mysterious foe rising to power, will they survive, let alone succeed? Or will darkness shroud their future, shattering the light they’ve striven to restore?

My Review

They'll both do anything for those they love....

I fell for Sara Ella's vivid storytelling with her Wonderland duology so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that she was starting off a brand new series, Realms Of Allumeria, with a Cinderella retelling – I also love fairytale retelling, by the way...

And Glass Across The Sea is just any old retelling of the much loved fairytale. The bones of the story we are all so familiar with are most definitely still there but Sara Ella takes them and reweaves them into a tale entirely her own.

And this is a very vibrantly told story indeed. The Realms Of Allumeria come alive in a way that is simple but easy to visualize each scene. The are plenty of twists and turns and even a few surprises along the way for both Noelle and Dante – and by turn, readers. They are a charming young couple and you can't help but like them both as you get to know them better.

I've read quite a few Cinderella retellings and one thing that I really appreciated about Glass Across The Sea is that the heroine's name is not just another variation of the name Ella.

I will confess that I did like The Curious Realities duology – with its darker vibe – a bit more. However, Glass Across The Sea was one of the more unique and interesting Cinderella retellings and it was definitely a good read. This was a great start to the Realms Of Allumeria and I find myself looking forward to reading the next book in this new series from fantasy author Sara Ella....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Glass Across The Sea by Sara Ella a 4 Bark rating.

More from Sara

Whenever I start writing a new story, I always comb the internet for the perfect images to represent my characters. Sometimes it’s an actress or actor who fits the character description. Other times, I’ll find some artwork or a painting that fits the picture I have in my mind.

But when it came to finding the right image to represent Noelle Perrault, the protagonist of Glass Across the Sea, I could not for the life of me find what I was looking for. Partly because the heroine is heavily based on my oldest daughter, who shares the same name. No image online was good enough to represent a character and novel dedicated to her.

And then I found this painting titled “Cinderella’s New Day” by artist Heather Edwards back in 2023.

And that was it! “So This is Love” from Disney’s animated classic began playing in my head, and I knew I’d found the image I would keep in my mind for the duration of writing my Cinderella retelling.

This depiction is soft and sweet and felt personal in a way a photo of an actress didn’t. I also felt this painting captured the character and personality of my heroine in a way that would keep me going, even on my most difficult writing days.

Fast forward to 2024. I was behind on my book deadline and life’s interruptions kept getting in the way of my writing. I felt depleted and almost asked my publisher to cancel my contract. But then I attended an event where this same artist had her work on display, and there it was. The real-life, in-person canvas of this very same painting.

That moment felt like God was reminding me He had called me to write this book in the first place. That He had a plan for it and wanted me to keep going. This very painting is the reason I added this line to Glass Across the Sea:

“Art, in her view, was never a laughing matter. A piece might evoke hope in one while it produced sorrow in the heart of another. It was the same for music. For dance.”

And then came 2025. A year of grief and loss in many ways for our family. Once again, everything was getting in the way of this story ever making it to print. And, once again, I considered maybe it was not meant to be published after all. Through many tears and long nights, I revised, pushing to meet deadlines. I questioned if it was worth it. I questioned my own strength and writing abilities, only to be reminded that it is only through God’s grace and Christ’s strength I can do anything at all.

I came across this painting in person again this year at that same event. And, just as it had done in the past, this painting reminded me there was a “new day” just around the corner. My best friend, Nadine Brandes (she knows me so well), surprised me with a signed and personalized canvas print that day. The timing could not have been more perfect.

This painting is more than just a reminder to “have courage and be kind.” It’s a testament to God’s goodness and faithfulness, even amidst darkness and pain. My prayer for Glass Across the Sea is that it blesses readers in the same way this painting has blessed me. Wherever you find yourself today, I hope you keep going and trust the Lord to give you what you need in the moment you need it. In my experience, He often reveals Himself in the unexpected corners and small moments I least suspect.

Sara Ella

Once upon a time, Sara Ella brought dreams to life as a Disney cast member, wishing for the day she’d find her prince and live in a castle of her own. Now she spends her days homeschooling her three Jedi in training, braving the Arizona summers, and reminding her superhero husband that it’s almost Christmas (even if it’s only January). Sara is the award-winning author of The Wonderland Trials, Coral, and the Unblemished trilogy. She is old enough for fairy tales and believes happily ever after is never far away.

Just Read Blog Tour - Wasted by Jerusha Agen (Give.away)

10/30/2025

6 Comments

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Wasted by Jerusha Agen,
hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

She always follows the rules. But what are the rules for murder?

Victoria Weston encounters tough things as a home health physical therapist, but this is a first—a dead body. The police call the patient’s death accidental. Victoria knows that can’t be true. Her efforts to convince the police they’re dealing with a murder get her labeled a troublemaker by all but one man—the troubler of her youth.

When Cillian Doherty returns to right the wrongs of the past, he finds his high school flame in a different kind of danger than he expected. As a social worker, he’s in the perfect position to corroborate her cry of murder or give her what she wanted—to handle her problems without his help.

But someone wants to silence Victoria. When lies escalate to violence and threaten more lives, the Weston siblings join the battle to save their sister.

Yet it will take a God more powerful than all of them for Cillian and Victoria to make peace with their past and catch the killer. Before the killer catches them.

Wasted continues the thrilling Windy City Westons series that features five siblings who encounter danger,
love, and God in the city of Chicago. (Each book can stand alone or be read as series installments.)

My Review

They have a past. Will a killer stop their future?

I am not new to Jerusha Agen's romantic suspense as I loved her Guardians Unleashed series, however, I am new to the Windy City Westons despite Wasted being the second book. I was simply intrigued by the cover and a fan of the author so I decided to dive in anyway.

One thing I'd like to say right off is that I really loved that neither the heroine nor hero are in any form of law enforcement or military. As much as I enjoy stories with those occupations, it's also nice to read about characters who have everyday jobs – in this case, physical therapist and social worker – but still manage to figure out who-done-it.

The mystery element is very well done with some red herrings and a few unexpected surprises along the way. I can usually figure out a killer long before the reveal but this one I didn't. I did guess correctly who had NOT done it but the real murderer's ID was as much of a revelation to me as it was to the lead characters.

I'll have to admit that I had a hard time connecting with the main characters. Honestly, they both irritated me but for opposite reasons. But, I couldn't put the book down. I had to know what happened next. I had to find out who killed Victoria's patient. I had to see if both she and Cillian could lay aside the past and move beyond their stubborn mistakes. I didn't finished Wasted in a single sitting but it wasn't too far from it either.

This is the second book in the Windy City Westons but I must say that after reading it, I am definitely intrigued by the rather dysfunctional family and curious to find out what danger and romance that Jerusha Agen will bring their way in the next one....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Wasted by Jerusha Agen a 4 Bark rating.

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Beneath False Stars by S.D. Grimm (Give.away)

10/19/2025

5 Comments

The day to open the centuries-old Dome gates and reintegrate genetically engineered people back into normal society has arrived. There’s one caveat—their powers must remain suppressed.
Amidst this Project Integration Initiative, hacker Ryleigh Stevens has her whole life planned out. The plan? Prevent a second Universal Tech War in two simple steps. First, help Project Integration Phase One succeed—but not for the reason she pretends. Next, infiltrate the rebellion and sabotage Phase Two—the part that would grant people unbridled access to their superhuman abilities.
Too bad the one person who can make her plan reality is her sworn enemy. He’s dangerous. He’s Powered. And he’s the reason her brother is dead. Faced with an impossible choice, Ryleigh must decide how to do what’s right for the good of all humanity, even if it means sacrificing everything she holds dear—again.

My Review

Will the truth set her free...or get her killed?

Wow, I was not expecting that. At all. From the fascinating cover to the last turning of my ereader page Beneath False Stars had me captivated. I read it when I should have been asleep. I read it when I had household tasks that needed to be done. I read it during commercial breaks when I was watching TV with family...OK, maybe, just maybe I read a little after the commercial breaks ended. I couldn't put it down.

Those who know me also know that sci-fi is genre that I read on a limited basis. However, I've liked or loved everything that I've read from this publisher and this first Project Integration novel sounded interesting. Oh, was I right about that!

S.D. Grimm's vivid worldbuilding and the first person POV of her heroine, Ryleigh, were utterly engrossing. I was so invested in Ryleigh and her friends that I'm still recovering from turning that last page and entering the impatient waiting zone until the next book in the Project Integration comes out.

Beneath False Stars may be a YA book but this 30-something adult really got into the world and into the story. It is very well written and the depth of emotion is excellent. Themes like fear, the pain of betrayal, grief, and the struggle to trust are universal no matter a person's age.

This might have been my first S.D. Grimm story but you can bet your last dollar that won't be my last. For one thing, I HAVE to know what happens next to Ryleigh and both her Normal and Powered family and friends....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Beneath False Stars by S.D. Grimm a 5 Bark rating.

What makes a fantasy writer change lanes and enter the world of science fiction?

My story actually goes back to that famous phrase “never say never.” I have ALWAYS loved both genres equally. If the question is Star Wars or LOTR? X-Men or Harry Potter? Hunger Games or Vampire Diaries? My answer is going to be, Why not all of it? But I always said I’d never write sci-fi. The reason? I didn’t think I’d ever be able to pull it off.

That’s one of the fun things about being a writer though . . . you get these little glimmers of shiny story ideas that just won’t stop sparkling in your mind. And eventually you follow the spark, and well, the rest is history.

Beneath False Stars started like that for me. But because I still believed I’d never be able to write a good sci-fi, I’d just write it for fun. To create for creation’s sake. And it was fun! Having a project that existed as something no one would ever read gave me permission to try new things, stretch my storytelling in new and exciting ways. And after a long period of burnout, this story carried me back into the heart of why I write. It was exactly what I needed.

But that wasn’t all.

Remember, it was never my intention to actually share this book. But it became something that I was too excited about to NOT share. So I tested the waters. When several writer friends read it and told me it was their favorite of all my books to date, I knew it was something that was never meant to sit in a drawer. In a way that scared me.

So, I did what the main character in the book would have told me to do—I decided not to let my fears win. And I shared. And now it’s going to be in print! That only goes to show that when a project you’re passionate about pulls at your heartstrings for attention, listen. You don’t have to know that project’s future. Just revel in its present, and let yourself create. <3

Lee Urban must win to survive.

After being sentenced to the banned list, half of the Asian Federation believes Lee Urban is a ticking time bomb that could end the world as they know it. They’re willing to do anything to erase her existence and silence her voice before she can take a stand.
There’s only one way to fight back: enroll in the Race to the Clouds. Winning the competition would garner global media attention and give Urban the coverage she needs to dismantle the enhancement programs. Unfortunately, it also happens to be the deadliest event of the year.
With less time to train than her rivals, Urban and her team must find a way to best the competition. But as enemies close in, riots erupt, and her homeland teeters on the brink of civil war, one thing is certain— she’s running out of time. Not just for herself, but for every Natural she represents.

My Review

Will she survive long enough to start the race....

I fell in love with Candace Kade's sci-fi-ish debut novel, Enhanced, thanks to the edge of your seat action and excellent worldbuilding. Somehow, the author managed to amp things up in the second book in The Hybrid series. Then comes Augmented. Just when you think that the stakes can't get any higher for Lee Urban...they do, in a really big way.

The Hybrid series has gone from strength to strength as it has progressed. It has continued to be both entertaining and engrossing for YA readers and adults, such as myself, alike. But there has been a great deal more to the story than just some really good sci-fi. In Augmented, author Candace Kade speaks through the experiences of her heroine about the broken pieces of our lives not being the end. About those broken pieces being made into something new. Different than what was before but by no means worthless.

As I've read The Hybrid series I've felt like Lee Urban has become something of a friend. Reading Augmented has been a little bittersweet for me as it is a satisfying conclusion - with a few surprises thrown in - but that is the word. Conclusion. I have to say goodbye to Lee Urban, Everest, and the other characters I've come to know. Ahh...Well...Now I must simply live in the hope of reading more from Candace Kade in the future....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Augmented by Candace Kade a 5 Bark rating.

More from Candace

Have you ever broken a cherished possession?

I have. It was my porcelain mug that I bought while traveling through Ireland. The trip was so special and that cup always brought me happy memories as I sipped tea from it.

My husband tried to fix it for me, but the mug is not the same. It now sits tucked in the back of our cupboards too broken to be used but too precious to be throw away.

Being broken doesn’t mean something—or someone—loses purpose.

In kintsugi, the Japanese art form that involves intentionally breaking tea ware, the fragments left over are pieced back together with golden filling. The final result is more beautiful than the original unblemished version ever could be.

The brokenness enhances the tea ware’s beauty.

In my novel Augmented, I wanted to draw a comparison between brokenness and beauty. Just like kintsugi takes broken pottery and turns it into something beautiful, my protagonist Urban faces her own transformation. She is hopeless and feels like she can’t pick up the shattered pieces of her life. But as she tries out for the world’s most deadly race, she learns that being broken doesn’t mean what she thinks it does.

The things that happen to us have a purpose. If we let the Creator finish His masterpiece (us) He’ll use the fragmented pieces of our lives to make a beautiful finished work of art.

Urban feels the same way, believing her brokenness defines her. But through trial and grace, she discovers what it means to be made new.

No one is too broken to be saved or redeemed.

I wrote this book for anyone who’s ever felt lost, hopeless, or broken. We can do all things through Him who gives us strength.

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - The Crier Stone by Lyndsey Lewellen (Give.away)

8/1/2025

5 Comments

Brave the Plex. Unleash the stone.
Embrace your destiny.

Freshly freed from an earth-dwelling monster, Juniper Conway is stuck with a promise she never intended to make. But if rescuing Plex City from a deadly nano drug is what she vowed, it’s what she’ll do.

Miles of wasteland stretch between Juniper and the domed city. In the Texas Outer Grid, following a tribe of whalers seems to be her best bet at surviving the chaotic storms. But when the nomadic tribes prove just as dangerous as the Grid itself, Juniper realizes her streak of bad luck is far from over.

Only her shipping crew friends can help her through the waste and into the Plex. When the crier stone guiding her mission only shows her fragmented steps, Juniper will need more than the stone around her neck and a halfhearted promise to make it out alive.

My Review

They took it all, now she must save them....

When I finished The Chaos Grid I thought it was a one off. Though, I certainly wanted more of the fascinating characters and futuristic Texas, I figured the story was complete. And then I saw The Crier Stone and it immediately shot way up and took a top spot spot my rather long want to read list.

And, oh, did it live up to expectation and then some! Lyndsey Lewellen deposited me back into her exquisitely crafted world of 2-headed birds, domed cities, teleportation, stunning tech, holographic clothing, robots, and oddly enough, purple cats. I couldn't put it down. All of the things that I needed to get done? Yeah, none of those things were actually done. Oh well, I had something more important to do. I had to 'help' Juniper save the Plex, her friends, and maybe her own life.

While this book is intended for a YA audience, probably middle to older end of the scale, as 30-something reader I still loved it. As I mentioned before, Lyndsey Lewellen is very skillful in her worldbuilding. She gives enough description to immerse the reader while still allowing the reader's own imagination to soar while visualizing each page. I was quite invested in this story as well. The wild differences in landscape between the desolate Grid and the glittering, though vicious, Plex provide the perfect backdrop for Juniper's emotional struggles as she grapples with 2 things that we humans find difficult – forgiveness and mercy. Wrapped within this futuristic fantasy novel is the retelling of a well known story and I found that reimagining to be very well done indeed.

Full of danger and adventure, The Crier Stone was an excellent read that I wholeheartedly give 5 stars. It is easily one of my favorite reads so far for this year. Now that I've read it, and The Chaos Grid, I will be intensely anticipating more from this author. Pretty much, ifI see her name on it I will read it....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Crier Stone by Lyndsey Lewellen a 5 Bark rating.

(I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)

More from Lyndsey

Justice. Mercy. Grace.

Teen girls in my youth group hear these words often. Maybe that’s because the simplest words are sometimes the hardest to define—and even harder to live out. So, we talk about them a lot. In fact, we go over their meanings so often that when our church’s youth pastor asked the main group to define grace one Wednesday night, girl after girl turned to look at me sitting in the back. They knew the answer. I was proud.

But knowing that justice is getting what you deserve, mercy is not getting what you deserve, and grace is getting what you don’t deserve is only half the battle. The real challenge? Learning when—and how—to apply them.

In The Crier Stone, the conclusion to The Chaos Grid duology, Juniper Conway comes face to face with God’s mercy in direct conflict with her sense of justice. We love it when He relents in His wrath toward us. But what happens when He stays His hand against our enemies?

The people of Juniper’s futuristic Texas experience justice daily for the sins of the past. In their attempt to fix the climate, their ancestors instead turned the world into a wasteland. Now, the last remnants of civilization hide away in domed cities, clinging to their technology like a drug—willing to sacrifice anything for the next upgrade. The government forbids advanced tech outside the domes, trapping its people inside their artificial paradise.

But a life of confinement and convenience is hardly the justice Juniper wants for those who orphaned her. And when visions confirm God’s call for her to save the worst of the domed cities from destruction, she rages at His mercy. Of all the people He could choose to show kindness to her enemies, why would He choose her?

If she had His power, she would do things differently.

At its heart, Juniper’s struggle is one of trust. Is God just in showing mercy to those who don’t deserve it? Would she see His choices differently if she knew everything He did? We may not always understand why God allows suffering on this side of eternity. In Juniper’s world, deadly nano-drugs run rampant, corrupt mega-corporations kill without consequence, and inhumane tech enhancement labs push the boundaries of morality for the next upgrade. Yet, God’s mercy does not mean He has abandoned justice.

Paul says in Acts 17:30-31:

“In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands
all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he
will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He
has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

It was at the cross that justice, mercy, and grace met—a breathtaking harmony orchestrated by a sovereign God.
Juniper’s journey is filled with trials, betrayals, and impossible choices as she is forced to confront the full weight of justice, mercy, and grace. Will she step into her destiny and save the domed city, or let it all burn?

Find out in the thrilling conclusion to this wild Texas dystopian duology.

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Warsafe by Lauren Smyth (Give.away)

6/5/2025

2 Comments

Play. Win. Survive.

There’s one building on her island that Halley has never visited: the Mercenary House. Perched atop a mountain, surrounded by unnaturally evergreen foliage, the House is rumored to be a breeding ground for criminals. Mercenaries are liars, cheats, spies . . . and maybe, depending on who you ask, killers.

At the Warsafe headquarters in Seattle, Roscoe is beta testing the company’s new video game. It’s her job to track down glitches—but something is different about this one. Lurking behind the lines of malfunctioning code is a secret that threatens to drag her deeper into the game, forcing her to put her life on the line if she ever wants to come home.

Worlds collide as Roscoe teams up with Halley to uncover the island’s secret and expose Warsafe’s designs. But some mysteries are better left unsolved. As traitor after so-called traitor is revealed to be on their side, they begin to wonder: Could Warsafe’s mission be critical enough to justify its cruelty?

My Review

How far will they have go to uncover the truth....

I'll admit that I picked this book up because I've liked pretty much every title that I've read from the publisher. Warsafe turned out to be no exception. I found the story to be intriguing right from the start and that never let up all the way through the last page. The blur between fiction and reality that makes up the heart of this story from Lauren Smyth was just too interesting to put down.

The mix of familiar and sci-fi was something that I enjoyed in Warsafe. It really kept the story grounded while allowing the imagination to fully engage. Lauren Smyth's writing style and worldbuilding skills were also something I appreciated as they kept the story moving forward with no lags and made me feel like I was right there with each of the story's leads.

Aimed at mid to older teens, Lauren Smyth's Warsafe is a bit edgy in all of the best ways that make for a good Christian sci-fi or fantasy novel that can also be enjoyed by adult fans of those genres.

This was my first Lauren Smyth novel but after reading Warsafe I doubt it will be my last. It was exciting, had an interesting premise, and was just flat out a good and entertaining read....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Warsafe by Lauren Smyth a 4 Bark rating.

More from Lauren

The Mercenary House, where much of Warsafe takes place, quite literally appeared to me in a dream.

By age 12, I’d already watched way too many action-adventure movies. (Did anyone else grow up on Tom Clancy--The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games?) Most nights, I was hyped on fictional adrenaline, and I was able to lucid dream. So I got to star in highly imaginative and unrealistic versions of my favorite spy stories when I fell asleep.

That night, I found myself trapped in the basement of an eight-story house. Guards patrolled the rooms outside, and somehow I knew I had to sneak past them to reach the top floor. I also knew I was dreaming and in no real danger, which made me brave. So I crawled through air ducts, hid in shadowy corners, and darted behind turned backs. And I escaped.

The dream was so logical compared to others I’d had that it stuck in my mind. Why was I trying to get to the roof? Why did I agree to play this “game?” What was the secret behind that dilapidated, shadowy building where I’d been imprisoned?

A few years later, I started coding video games. My first full-length game featured more than 100,000 lines of code and is probably part of the reason why I’m so near-sighted. I loved the results, but not the process. More than coding, I realized I loved storytelling—weaving together sentences and images and movements that became a world on the reader’s screen.

I hadn’t forgotten my dream, but I didn’t have the Python know-how to turn it into a game. And I’d gotten sick of naming variables. (Somewhere in the source code for that first game, there’s an if-then statement oh-so-creatively named “againagainagainagainagainagainagain.” See also the classic: “help.”) What if, instead of crawling back to my code editing software, I wrote a book?

And what if that book wasn’t just about a fictional video game, but was also an exploration of morality, economics, and politics in a parallel world?

I believe that good books don’t answer questions; they make you ask new ones. They draw you into a situation you’ve never experienced and force you to take sides, rooting for or against characters, judging or supporting their choices. If you could stop a catastrophe by sacrificing a few people, would you do it? If you were offered control over someone’s life, would you take it?

That’s the central dilemma of Warsafe. What you choose, who you agree with is up to you. Like a real video game, Warsafe lets you confront the same choices as the characters and work your way out of the puzzle—if you can do it without compromising your morality.

Remember Warsafe’s motto: Safety requires the many to sacrifice the one.

Disagree?

Enter the Warsafe universe and prove it.

Book Review - The Amish Bachelor's Promise by Amy Lillard

6/1/2025

0 Comments

From a lifelong friendship
To an unexpected courtship…

After years of overlooking his best friend, Amish farmer Freeman Yoder finally begins to see Evie Ebersol through new eyes. But Evie is convinced that she would be a rebound—and that her physical challenges would be a burden. Despite loving Freeman for most of her life and yearning for a family and home of her own, she refuses to hold Freeman to his decades-old promise to marry her. Now he’s determined to show Evie that she’s the only one he wants to build a future with.

ISBN-13: 9781335937254

My Review

Soap, goats, and a childhood promise....

It's been awhile since I've read such a sweet romance story and I can tell you that it was high time that I did. The Amish Bachelor's Promise was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. It had me smiling and even laughing at the antics of a certain small goat.

I truly liked Evie and Freeman from the very start of the book. Evie doesn't let her physical disability stop her and Freeman is such a genuinely caring person. I was honestly surprised at just how much I was caught up in their story and how invested I was in the outcome of such a quick read.

Amy Lillard has a charming story in this 200+ page book and it was a definitely enjoyable read. The characters are likable and you can't help but root for these two friends to overcome the obstacles potentially keeping them apart.

If you are looking for a cute story and a quick read with an Amish theme The Amish Bachelor's Promise from Amy Lillard is a great choice....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Amish Bachelor's Promise by Amy Lillard a 4 Bark rating.

My Review

Danger comes in many forms....

I got hooked on Chawna Schroeder's fiction awhile back when I read The Vault Between Spaces so I've been looking forward to Illuminary since first hearing about it. As expected it turned out to be a great start to the intriguingly titled The Sceptre & The Stylus series.

With her trademark attention to detail and excellent fantasy worldbuilding skills, Chawna Schroeder introduces an interesting tale with nods to the Bible and Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess. I found the story to be a faster read than even I expected as my curiosity kept me turning those pages even when I should have headed off for bed.

I was excited to find out that Illuminary is the first book in a planned trilogy as that means I will get the chance to revisit The Sceptre & The Stylus characters again instead of having to say goodbye what feels like too soon.

Great for older YA readers, Illuminary can also entertain adults, such as myself, equally as well. The addition of things like trains and automatons makes The Sceptre & The Stylus trilogy from Chawna Schroeder even more interesting. I enjoyed this first book in the series and now I am definitely looking forward to the next book so I can find out where Yosarai and Xander will find themselves next....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Illuminary by Chawna Schroeder a 4 Bark rating.

Why I Love “A Little Princess”

Illuminary begins a fantasy trilogy loosely inspired by A Little Princess. This classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a book I’ve read almost annually since I was a preteen, with some years containing two or more readings. It is a story that never fails to enchant me no matter how often I read it, and it carries for me the same magic that Anne of Green Gables has for many other girls.

Yet unlike Anne, who endears herself to almost all who meet her, the young heroine of A Little Princess, Sara Crewe, is known to be a somewhat divisive character—the kind you either adore or hate the moment you meet her, much like the characters within the story itself. So, what draws me back to this young protagonist again and again?

The reasons are many. I love her imagination, her intelligence, her ability for the perfect comeback, her courage in the face of horrifying circumstances, her uniqueness—all characteristics that I’ve tried to endow upon the heroine of Illuminary to some extent.

But I think the thing I hope my heroine in Illuminary emulates most is Sara’s unshakeable character. For Sara is a principled young lady, and no matter what is thrown at her, she holds onto those principles without wavering.

Often in literature, it seems like the good, principled characters, when they are faced with great difficulty, end up struggling with their principles, debating whether they are good or worthwhile. In some stories, those characters even outright reject those principles for a time.

While these are good and needed stories to tell, sometimes they are portrayed as the only accurate arcs for such characters—as if characters holding onto their principles and maintaining their integrity is somehow unrealistic. A charge originating, I suppose, from those too sweet, too perfect characters found in morality tales.

Yet while such characters of integrity and principle might be rare, Scripture shows us that hard times don’t have to shake one’s principles or undermine one’s integrity. Both Joseph in the book of Genesis and Daniel in the book bearing his name exemplify this kind of life. And we see this same principled integrity in Sara Crewe.

It is not that she is some perfectly sweet heroine. Sara has a temper, struggles with some uncharitable thoughts toward others, and even misjudges another character terribly. Nor does she fail to grow. The Sara at the end of the story is definitely a more mature, thoughtful, and understanding girl than the one who began the tale.

But the core essence of her character—her politeness, generosity, and compassion as summarized by her wish to act like a princess—does not change in the story. The core characteristics that make Sara Crewe, Sara Crewe, are unshaken. They may grow and expand with the character, but these essential attributes characterize her throughout the entire story. Even in her darkest moments she holds fast to them.

That is both hopeful and encouraging. For we all will face hard and difficult times. A Little Princess doesn’t deny that reality. Rather, it says that those hard times don’t have to destroy us and that holding onto one’s integrity, one’s faith, is possible.

For me, that is what makes Sara Crewe and A Little Princess truly magical—and what I hope will make Illuminary magical for its readers.

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Embergold by Rachelle Nelson (Give.away)

4/15/2025

5 Comments

Fire dreamed of water, but the first sip would be its last.

Gilde has spent her life isolated in the wild marshlands, a place too wet for the dragon to go. She’s safe there, according to her father. So why is he asking her to leave with him now that she has come of age? There is more to Gilde’s family than she knows, and debts need to be paid.

Betrayed and shattered, she wakes in a crumbling mountain castle with the beast of her nightmares. Except this dragon speaks like a man and reads books. His kindness confuses her and opens a forgotten longing in her heart, all while Gilde plans her escape from a mountain full of secrets.

This place can unveil her past and why she was sacrificed to the beast —truths that may put both their lives in danger if they can’t learn to trust each other. But how can Gilde ever trust again? Especially after she discovers what dragons truly are.

My Review

What will she be willing to risk....

I fell in love with Rachelle Nelson's writing style when I read her debut novel. When I saw her name on the cover of Embergold I didn't even really read the blurb because I already knew I wanted to read it.

And it did not disappoint. Though, how could a story with dragons ever be a disappointment. With some Beauty And The Beast vibes Embergold kept me reading all afternoon and even while I was eating dinner.

Rachelle Nelson is one of those with the rare talent of being able to describe an entire location or even an event with just a few words. The simplicity of description is the beauty of it and you can completely visualize every aspect of what is going on on the page in front of you. I absolutely love it when an author can help your imagination soar rather than leading you in a single narrow vision.

Anyway, Embergold was a wonderful read. It has everything you want to see in a clean fantasy and even a few surprises along the way. It completely captivated me from the moments of humor to the darker ones of pain and heartbreak. The splash of romance is also nicely done and it is a part of the story rather than taking it over.

Whether you are an adult reader like me who just enjoys a good clean fantasy read or if you know a teen reader I would definitely recommend Embergold. Honestly, I'd recommend anything by Rachelle Nelson and as for myself I will be anxiously anticipating reading more from her...

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Embergold by Rachelle Nelson a 5 Bark rating.

More from Rachelle

For the past decade or so, I have been a volunteer youth leader for teen groups. Some of my favorite memories have come from that position. Camp pranks, hilarious games involving edible mealworms, scavenger hunts, singing together at the top of our lungs, and speaking life into the lives of young women. When a girl sees herself through the eyes of Jesus, everything changes.

Some of my hardest moments have come from being a youth leader, too. There’s a kind of hurt that happens when we watch someone suffer, and we cannot take the suffering away. I have cried tears with teens who have been wounded by betrayal, carelessness, and abandonment. Those wounds go deeper when they come from a parent.

The truth is, God is the only perfect father, and we’re meant to be parented by Him. Learning to trust Him is a process, even if we had a pretty great (if imperfect) example of an earthly dad. But we live in a fatherless generation, when so many have experienced separation and pain in their family from divorce, or addiction, or generational cycles of pain. I’ve seen what that kind of pain can do to a heart, and how trusting others becomes almost impossible.

Almost.

Embergold is a story about betrayal and abandonment. It’s about two young people who never expected to find kindness in a harsh world. It’s about the healing of hearts.

I wrote it for myself, to remember what is possible. I wrote it for the young people I have loved. And for the parents who are still recovering from their childhoods.

Sin and brokenness happen in community. But, the amazing thing is, God designed the healing to happen in community too, among people. We need each other.

Rachelle Nelson

Rachelle Nelson grew up reading fantasy novels and getting her clothes muddy in the pine forests of Idaho. These days, she still loves hiking through forests and libraries, though she’s a bit less fond of mud. Her debut novel, Sky of Seven Colors, released through Enclave Publishing, and won both the Carol Award and Christy Award. Rachelle doesn’t write true stories, but she does write about truth. When she’s not doing that, she sings in a band with her husband who makes her happier than should be legal. If you like good food and honest conversations, you’re her favorite kind of person.

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour - Truth Cursed by Angie Dickinson (Give.away)

3/13/2025

4 Comments

Speaking the truth can be a dangerous thing.

Cressida Hoth is alone in the world. Orphaned and unwanted, she is inflicted with a peculiar curse by her mischievous aunts and banished to a finishing school in the secluded kingdom of Dernmont. Students train in every accomplishment suitable for young ladies: music, dancing, etiquette…and strangely, poison-making, fencing, and lock- picking.

The school is a front for a rebel spy ring, and when her training is complete, Cressida is selected to join a mission to infiltrate the kingdom’s royal court. She has been thrown unceremoniously into a world of ball gowns and espionage, but she is still under a curse, and it threatens to expose them all.

Defending her teammates and her secret, Cressida discovers that the kingdom’s buried history and the truth behind her curse run far deeper than she imagined.

My Review

Will her curse be her downfall...or save her?

I picked up Truth Cursed partly because I've really enjoyed the publisher's books in the past, but, even more because the title was just so intriguing. I can tell you that from the outset the story more than lived up to my expectations. Honestly, I wish more books of this quality had been available when I was teenager.

Even as an adult reader Angie Dickinson had me captivated from the start. Her worldbuilding skills are stellar and you immediately feel like you are right there with Cressida as she navigates school, a royal court, world changing secrets, oh, and that pesky little curse she has had for much of her life.

Truth Cursed kept me up into the wee hours of the morning as I just had to know what would happen next. The blend of fantasy and suspense – with the slightest touch of romance – was simply perfect. And the way Angie Dickinson chose to spin to origins of the curse instead of relying on the old standbys was both original and interesting. Cressida herself is such a fun character with strengths and flaws that I couldn't help but like her.

There was honestly nothing to dislike about Truth Cursed. It's a standalone novel so you don't have to wait ages for the next installment and Angie Dickinson has all of the loose ends nicely wrapped up by the end. I truly enjoyed every bit of Truth Cursed and and I will be looking for more from Angie Dickinson in the future. I think she may quickly become one of those authors that I will read as soon as I see their name on the cover. She might already even be there....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Truth Cursed by Angie Dickinson a 5 Bark rating.

More from Angie

A few years ago, while I was pregnant with my third child and feeling an itch to write a story, a question popped into my mind. Could I write a relatable main character who is cursed with a peculiar impediment that affects every relationship and interaction? What would that look like and how challenging would it be? This was the beginning of my journey toward creating and learning to know and love Cressida, the main character of Truth Cursed.
This book became an ode to so many of my favorite things: girlhood friendships, mystery, fantasy, ballgowns, hidden weaponry (poisons! blades!!), court intrigue, an epic castle setting, sweet romance, and coming-of-age character growth that is anything but graceful. In many ways this story is old fashioned for this fast-moving publishing world, embracing an amalgam of the story types that I grew up reading and wishing to read.
As I wrote, I discovered my reader, and she was younger me. So I wrote for her, for my own future teens, and for every reader who loves to fall into a cozy, wholesome, and intriguing story. I’ve attempted to present my reader with a mirror and true hope as they unravel the mystery and adventure of Truth Cursed. I will forever be thankful to my Creator for the opportunity to share Cressida’s story.

Angie Dickinson

Angie Dickinson is a lifelong lover of magical stories that point to truth, hope, and redemption. She received a B.A. in English Literature and is now a fantasy writer, living in the woods of Michigan with her husband and four children. Angie is saved by grace alone and is in awe of her Savior’s unrestrained love. She is blessed by her big, boisterous family and is fond of Earl Grey tea, reading too late at night, and taking every opportunity to share her passion for fantasy and fairy tales.

My Review

Secrets & betrayal abound with a Martian mission....

I've never been a big sci-fi fan but Enclave has slowly been changing my mind. The Time Door is such an intriguing title that I would have wanted to read this book even if I hadn't seen the cover blurb and didn't already enjoy the publisher.

Shannon McDermott is a new-to-me author but I am always up for finding additional authors to add to my must-read list. With her storytelling skill painting a vividly imaginative dystopian Earth and harsh Martian landscape – both of which, may be more than they first appear – and a cast of interesting characters this first The Eternities book kept me intrigued from start to finish.

I may be new to Shannon McDermott's exciting fiction but I fully intend on being back for the next book in The Eternities duology. The Time Door just really got me good and hooked....

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Time Door by Shannon McDermott a 4 Bark rating.

More from Shannon

There is a story of an abandoned space colony. Still young, still unsteady, and suddenly cut off from the mother planet—the colony will either learn fast to survive alone, or it will die altogether.

The story has been told again and again, a thousand variations on the old theme. When I was getting acquainted with it, through battered paperbacks and anthologies gathered from the old “scientifiction” magazines, I noticed that the colonies were usually abandoned because of a space plague, or aliens, or interplanetary war.

Exotic, exciting problems, the stuff of science fiction. But I had a thought: What if the reason for abandoning a space colony were a bit prosaic? What if there was just no more money?

The national debt is very much a thing (and an ever-growing thing, at an ever-increasing rate). We would be in trouble if that debt were ever called, or even if no more could be contracted. If it suddenly became time to pay the piper, if the money running off the press was no longer good enough—America couldn’t afford to support a colony on Mars. And we would have too many problems of our own to care very much about theirs.

A classic sci-fi story with a modern twist, something fantastic mixed with something prosaic. I liked it.

As I set to work on the idea, I soon made another variation to the theme. The abandoned colony did not take the whole stage. I gave equal space to those who had abandoned it. Good or bad, they had their reasons; they had their story, too. And as I began to write it, I realized that both stories were about survival. The struggle over whether they survived, and how, and what they would become on the other side.

These ideas grew into The Time Door—two parallel stories, separated by the distance between Mars and Earth, and yet united in the end. Whether abandoned on Mars, or caught in the collapse on Earth, they all need a way out; they all need to find a door.

Shannon McDermott

Shannon McDermott is an author of science fiction and has been occupied for years with constructing scenarios of the colonization of Mars. Always a fan of the genre, she reviews Christian speculative fiction with Lorehaven. Her interests include history, classic literature, and lattes. She lives in the great Midwest, where she does her best to avoid icy weather, sweltering heat, and tornadoes, according to the season.
