Introducing Darlene L Turner, author of Border Breach, her debut novel. Darlene and I have been friends for years. We’ve roomed together at writer’s conferences, messaged each other, encouraged each other, and celebrated our successes. She is an excellent writer, a strong Christian, and a great friend. Oh, and we both like pumpkin spice lattes! I’m honored today to share her responses to several questions I thought you’d be curious about asking a “published” author. Here goes… Darlene, your debut novel released on April 1, 2020. What was your initial reaction to seeing all your hard work published? A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.! It’s…
Yes Sisters by Angelia L. White
I love this catchy title and all that it stands for. Every female needs a friend or group of friends who will be open and honest in a positive way, and help her stay focused on what’s right, pure, and true. Yes Sisters could easily become required mentorship or women’s ministries reading material because, in reality, once you read this book, you’ll see yourself already in action, or you’ll recognize areas that need improvement. You’ll discover the importance of being supportive and encouraging all the time. You’ll read about the personal experiences of others and how their yes sister made…
Collateral Damage by Lynette Eason
Congratulations to Lynette Eason on her new romantic suspense release Collateral Damage! This is one novel I had a hard time putting the book down. You won’t be disappointed. The characters are well-developed, strong, and brave, and the plot believable. Lynette nailed it again with the intensity of this romantic suspense novel. The action and unexpected twists will keep readers on their toes. Brooke Adams, a former military psychiatrist, is haunted by nightmares of falling debris, bodies, and fire after her near-death experience in a bombing overseas. She returns home and accepts a job at a medical center where she…

The Girl Behind the Red Rope by Ted Dekker & Rachelle Dekker
After reading Ted Dekker’s Rise of the Mystics, I discovered that he writes from a deep-rooted spiritual point of view and his daughter, Rachelle, has developed the same gifting. The Girl Behind the Red Rope had me questioning where the story was going. Who or what is the Fury the characters keep referring to? Why can’t they go behind the red rope? My first instinct was to read about half-way through the book before writing a review, but I became enthralled by this gripping story and couldn’t put it down. In one sense The Girl Behind the Red Rope reminded…
Fatal Strike by DiAnn Mills
If you haven’t read DiAnn’s new release now’s the time to get your hands on a copy and get started. As Lynette Eason says, “DiAnn Mills Never Disappoints.” I must agree. The opening scenes are filled with action which keeps the adrenaline flowing through to the end. Special Agent Leah Riesel and her newly assigned partner Agent Jon Colbert fight for their lives while investigating a murder. Rattlesnakes aren’t my thing, but the deadly use of their venom being injected into law enforcement officials keeps your feet tucked under you on the couch and your nose in the novel while…

God is Not Our Virtual Assistant by DiAnn Mills
Recently, I heard a speaker state God was a virtual assistant. The claim didn’t resonate with me. In fact, it irritated me, so I dug deeper for a definition and the qualifications for a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant is self-employed and generally works from home to assist a client or clients with professional, technical, communication, and creative advice. Nothing spiritual in that definition. The need for a virtual assistant is basic: reduce our work load, give us more time personally and professionally, and flexibility. Nothing spiritual there either. To be among the five-star virtual assistants, one must: Express him/herself…
Surviving Life’s Dark Clouds
Have you ever felt like a dark cloud keeps hovering over your head and everything that could go wrong…does? Storms pop up along life’s path and we become engulfed in a flood of unwelcomed circumstances that take us on unexpected detours. Detours that take us away from our daily routines and responsibilities. We all face times when it seems God might have forgotten to shield us with his protective arms, and yet, we know in our hearts that He is right there with us every minute of every day. He never forgets who we are or what we’re going through….
