Return
of the Guardian-King
RETURN OF THE GUARDIAN-KING was a spectacular
read! Filled
with powerful and positive messages of faith woven skillfully into
the story, RETURN OF THE GUARDIAN-KING encourages all who read to
follow Abramm in his quest to reach the right path and follow the
one true God. Author Karen Hancock truly deserves the
Christie Award that the LEGENDS OF THE GUARDIAN-KING series won her.
The plot is clever and multifaceted, the characters are as real as
your best friends, the storyline is original and very convincing
and the writing style shines with wit and talent.
RETURN OF THE GUARDIAN-KING is a book that readers of Christian fiction won’t want to miss. Read the rest of the review here.
Where Willows Grow
Anna Mae Phipps has just discovered she’s pregnant with her third child, and the discovery couldn’t have come at a worse time. Harley, her husband, has decided to leave the family farm and go to work for the Works Progress Administration. The job sounds awfully fishy to Anna Mae – whoever heard of building a castle in Kansas?
Harley Phipps is determined to keep the farm Anna Mae’s daddy had handed down
to her. And for that, he needed money. He couldn’t count on the land to give
up a good bounty – with no rain, there’d be trouble enough just getting the garden
to grow! Knowing the government job would be his only chance to save the farm,
he decides to take it, but leaving Anna Mae and his daughters doesn’t
sit well with him. Especially considering how his relationship with Anna Mae
had weakened lately. Read the rest of my review here.
Abomination
by Colleen Coble
Author Colleen Coble has delivered an incredible story in ABOMINATION,
the fourth book in the Rock Harbor series. Engrossing, full of detail,
and populated by richly drawn characters, ABOMINATION is a page-turner.
Coble draws the suspense out, dragging readers along for the ride, all
the while deftly keeping them in the dark until the very end. Her characters
are sensational, written so well that readers will long to come home to
Rock Harbor with Bree , just as Eve does.

HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY AS A FREELANCE WRITER
by David Geer
HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY AS A FREELANCE WRITER may
only be seventy-five pages long in the .pdf format, but author David
Geer has packed a lot of valuable information into a short amount of
space. You won’t find any wasted fluff, boring passages or space-wasting graphics in this book – just hardcore, useful information for the serious writer.
Tips on how to earn additional money as a freelance writer abound in this e-book, many of them extremely valuable to both new and experienced writers. In his very first chapter, Geer tells readers how to locate more markets through Google. For new writers, I would think this first chapter alone would provide enough information to get started making an income from freelancing. But Geer goes on to inform readers about assignments lists, specialty markets, corporate writing, technology writing and much more.
HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY AS A FREELANCE WRITER is definitely a book that readers will go back to again and again for advice. Geer speaks from experience, having lost his regular job six years ago, he’s been freelancing – and earning a regular income – ever since. This experience is invaluable to writers looking to make a living from writing, and Geer has
helpfully put it all down on paper for you to read and learn from. Why wouldn’t
you want to buy this book? Consider it an investment for
the future!
