Fifth MYSTERY BABYLON book coming soon!

Greetings, everyone!

Like some of you, I had to know what happened next to our friends (and antagonists) in the Mystery Babylon series, so… I’m working on Book 5, The Gazelle. It’s available for pre-order now.

Here’s the scoop:

Following the nuclear war, Austin Martin struggles to adjust to his new role on the tiny Alaskan island. He receives good news about his family, but it triggers dissent and confrontation in the community. Will he be able to unite the group, or will he need to leave? And what will Sierra Forester do when Austin makes his decision?

Meanwhile, Russian Major General Ivan Orlov returns to work in Siberia. His country has suffered terribly from the war, but its military remains strong. Leaders gather to debate seizing Alaska, or moving into the Middle East while the global balance of power is unstable.

In Israel, Wu Ying is arrested for allegedly providing false information on his application for asylum. Will he be able to negotiate his freedom, or will he be jailed – or worse, sent back to China?

I hope you all enjoy this series. God bless you, and have a great week!

Surprise! New book out next week!

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the long silence… I’m still here, and I’ve been busy. I’m happy to announce that I’ve been working on a surprise fourth book in the Mystery Babylon series, and it’s ready to roll out. THE LION is on pre-order for next week on Amazon, and here’s what it’s about:

Who will live, and who will die?

In the aftermath of a global war, the survivors on an isolated Southeast Alaskan island struggle to cope. But as Sierra Forrester and Austin Martin piece their lives back together, a new danger sails into their harbor. Can the islanders defend themselves from well-armed, trained and hungry interlopers?

Meanwhile, Wu Ying runs into serious complications in his efforts to escape China with his new Christian friends. Will he be able to leave the war-torn country, or will his attempts be thwarted? Failure could leave him destitute and trapped in a dangerous, radioactive landscape.

In Russia, Major General Ivan Orlov learns that the president’s beautiful teenage granddaughter suffered a horrific death in the aftermath of the war, and Ivan’s family is implicated in the tragedy. Can he clear their name before retribution is served on his household? Read THE LION to find out.

I hope you enjoy the story! May the Lord bless you and keep you, and cause His face shine upon you as you follow Him.

THE DRAGON arrives early!

Dear friends,

You’re all aware of the current events involving Russia and its new war, along with the potential for that war expanding beyond a regional conflict. Because my current series revolves around a Russian/Chinese attack on the United States, I’ve decided to release the e-book and paperback of The Dragon early. The release date has been moved from April 28 to February 28.

The Dragon is the second book in my Mystery Babylon series, so be sure to read the first book (The Bear) before you read the new release. Here’s the scoop on The Dragon….

A major earthquake, followed by a mega-tsunami, might swamp Russia and China’s war on the United States.

Suspected of collaborating with the enemy, Sierra Forester needs a safe place to hunker down until she can clear her name. Austin Martin might be able to help… or he might be the source of even greater problems. If he risks his life to protect her, can either survive?

Soon after arriving at their remote Alaskan hideout, a mega-tsunami sends Sierra and Austin running for their lives. Can they escape a watery death? How will this natural disaster affect Alaska – and all of the Pacific coast?

Meanwhile, Russia and China step up their war on the United States. Battles are being fought on multiple fronts. Neither side has yet resorted to nuclear weapons, but it’s only a matter of time. Can America fend off the communists? Or will the Russian bear and the Chinese dragon finally pin their enemy to the ground?

THE DRAGON is the second book in my thrilling post-apocalyptic Mystery Babylon series. Begin this clean, faith-based adventure today!

Daughter of Babylon series begins today!

I’m pleased to announce that my new series, Daughter of Babylon, is now launched! Book 1, California, is available in the Amazon store. Here’s what it’s about:

***

Katie Nelson just wants to celebrate her anniversary with a relaxing camping trip on the California coast. But terrorists have other plans for the weekend. Like torching the place.

When she and her husband Zach scramble to evacuate, they’re snared in all sorts of trouble, and soon they’re running for their lives.

Meanwhile, Basilia Hernandez and Alana Mills, the new president and vice president of the United States, face one shocking turn of events after another. Do they have what it takes to protect and defend the country during the apocalypse? Or will they make it worse?

***

I hope you all love it! If you do, please consider leaving a review on Amazon — reviews are immensely helpful; thanks!

Library in a box

When we moved to Alaska, we got rid of pretty much everything that didn’t fit in our pickup or the travel trailer behind it. Including almost all of our books. Since then, we’ve accumulated a lot of stuff. Including LOTS of books.

I’ve wondered occasionally, if we were to undertake a big move like that again – or evacuate for a natural disaster – or for some other reason need to ditch most of our library, what I would keep? Say I could take ten printed books, or fill a medium-sized box? (Obviously, I’d take my Kindle if I could, but what if there was an EMP or a long-term power outage? I need paper books to read!)

That was the idea that spawned this month’s giveaway, in which I asked readers if they could keep only one book in addition to their Bible, what would it be? My dear readers’ answers were interesting and insightful. I might write another blog entry all about that.

But for now, I’ll let you in on which books I might keep if I had to leave most of my beloved (physical, printed) books.

The Bible. Has everything I truly need!
Carla Emery’s “Encyclopedia of Country Living.” Charming and full of knowledge from her decades of raising children, gardens and livestock. Reminds me of my grandma.
SAS Survival Handbook. How to stay alive.
A good first aid or ditch medicine book. (Okay, I haven’t narrowed down which one, exactly, but I’d grab one in this category.)
A foraging book for my local area.
My mom’s Betty Crocker cookbook.
A novel that my dad owned.
A very old book of poetry that belonged to my grandma.
A book of hymns or worship songs.
A fiction favorite. Either Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress” or Peretti’s “The Oath.”

Wow, that leaves out a lot of favorites, like “Tom Brown’s Field Guide to Wilderness Survival” and a stack of devotional favorites, a slew of novels, all my books on writing, books on Alaska (I’m a bit of a fan), gardening books, “PDR for Herbal Medicines,” a stack of books by David Wilkerson, and John Price’s “The End of America.”

Obviously, I’d have to pack two boxes. One just won’t do it!

How about you? If you had to reduce your library to a single box, what would you include in it?
