Hi, it’s Christina!
It’s Monday again, so that
means it’s time for Monday Meet the Authors.
I think three is my
“magical” number. It’s the easiest for me to manage, especially if the authors
have less than five books. When I get to the authors with more extensive
libraries, I’ll probably limit the feature to one or two authors. Sound good?

| Stephanie Collins |
First up today is
Stephanie Collins and her book With Angel’s Wings, a gripping true account of a
young parent coming to terms with having a special needs child.
“With
Angel's Wings is the true story of Laura, a young wife and mother of a three-year-old
daughter. Her husband, Kevin, a marine, is deployed overseas, leaving Laura to
give birth to their second daughter and handle the two young children on her
own.

| With Angel's Wings |
Thirteen
days after the birth of her youngest, the pediatrician detects a heart murmur.
That leads to just the first of multiple diagnoses for both of her daughters,
sending Laura on an unexpected and emotional journey into the world of
parenting medically-fragile, special needs children.
Right
when Laura fears she will break under the incredible pressure, she encounters the
beauty of true love, in a most unexpected and unconventional way.”

Next up is Christian
Fantasy/Romance Author of The Plan, The Conversion & The Chosen, Raven H.Price.
“The
Plan begins with Rachel as a young child having a very special relationship
with Jesus. Her new friend comforts her and encourages her but they lose
contact in time as the world steers her down a different path. Horrors upon
horrors happen until she is face to face once again with her Savior. At the age
of thirty-four, she learns to rely and depend on her childhood friend once
again. As her life and lifestyle dramatically changes the Lord introduces her
to the love of her life.
 |
| The Plan |
Experience
causes her to have compassion when young romances go wrong, this brings her to
a situation at church where she sees many teenage girls enthralled over a
fictional movie character. The movie, a love story between a mortal and a
vampire, is not Rachel’s usual kind of entertainment. With an open mind, she
watches the movie knowing that she is being lead there for a purpose. No wonder
this movie has the young girls’ fascination: the male lead was fashioned after
Jesus.
This
immediately propels her to want to tell her own story. Should she reveal her
disgusting past and risk losing the respect she has with the congregation by
sharing everything to keep these young girls from going through the same
horrors without the Lord?”
 |
| The Conversion |
“Book one of The Harvesting Machine trilogy, The
Conversion begins the story by explaining how after being beaten and
emotionally bruised by two ex-husbands, Hope Anderson seeks the comfort she
once felt within her family church. Upon her first visit back, she sits on the
last row to secure her anonymity. Desperate to find comfort and acceptance, Hope
felt judgmental eyes instead.
Regularly plagued by fear and paranoia, Hope seeks
counsel and finds it through a female evangelist on television. The woman’s
depiction of love and her explanation of a spiritual journey prompts Hope to
ask God for the same. He grants her request. Hope is taught how to pray
effectively because of her journey with the Holy Spirit. With intercession,
Hope is also granted supernatural gifts of spiritual sight and hearing. She
faces demons bravely through her faith in the Holy Spirit to help others.
When Hope’s journey is over, she does not turn her back
on her church or on her colleagues at work. Instead, she boldly stands and
fights for them using her superpowers. It is through this process that Hope
learns to love herself and other people and to forgive.
Living happily with her Lord, Hope is faced once again
with what caused her immense fear and paranoia. The fight for her life begins,
and it is the worst physical and spiritual battle imaginable!”

| The Chosen |
“A
prophecy is starting over. Heaven holds a meeting so the last piece of a puzzle
can be chosen. Jesus chooses Gina Grimes, a strong-willed, self-serving, and
unchurched young woman to complete the team.
For
Jesus’s plan to work, the Holy Spirit has to first convince Gina her lifestyle
isn’t great. He uses Caylee Sellers, Gina’s happy-go-lucky coworker, to
convince her there is a better life with the Lord. Once Gina submits to Jesus,
he sends her a guardian angel. But when the angel called Ox arrives on the
scene to guard her, he sees that Satan is already focused on Gina and is
determined to ruin or kill Jesus’s new convert before the Lord’s seed of faith
can take root.
A
battle of wills begins, and in the process, Gina gets physically hurt. To
counteract the situation Satan caused, the Holy Spirit uses another strategy on
Gina to produce an effect that will shape her outlook and give her a
supernatural way to contour nearly every action and thought.
While
Gina physically heals, the Holy Spirit makes sure Gina finds new friends who
are also equipped with guardian angels and various powers. Jesus’s plan starts
working. Gina gains strength with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, Ox’s presence,
and her new friends’ assurance. Eventually, she will find what she craves, but
not until all hell breaks out.”

Finally, we have JCBrennan, a mid-west gal with a penchant for putting a twist on history. Her
books include the JUST RE-RELEASED - A Fine Line: The Beginning (Volume 1), AFine Line the Ancients: Part I, and A Fine Line: The Ancients (Part II).
“This
historical fantasy will take you on mystical journey with William T. Healthaway
and the Crew one you won't soon forget. William T. Healthaway, a Union soldier,
fights in the battle of Pickett’s Mill. The battle is brutal and treacherous.
However, William will soon learn that surviving this battle is only the
beginning of his adventure.
 |
| A Fine Line: The Beginning |
He is about to be thrown him into a whirlwind of
preternatural happenstance and danger, he and the rest of the Crew could never
have dreamed possible. The war awaiting them after their homecoming is one which
has been raging for centuries; a war that will lead them into a world they
never dreamed might exist. Unknowingly, the family will be plunged into a world
of mystery, encountering intrigue, deception, death, temptation, and powers not
of their world. With every miraculous power revealed will come a sinister evil.
William and his Crew will find themselves in a world which defies every
reality.”
“The
Crew have never been strangers to tragedy…
 |
| A Fine Line: The Ancients Part I |
William
Healthaway’s family has proven to be quite resilient. Surviving an unprovoked
attack by the Damned and defeating the evil warrior Tetron, however, hasn’t
guaranteed a happy ending for the family. Still reeling from the loss of his
children and plagued by nightmarish images from the Civil War, William must overcome
his grief in order to unify his family and prepare them for the impending
revenge, certain to be meted out by the Damned.
Unexpected
peril presents itself in the form of hate and prejudice from an unlikely
source—the townspeople the Crew have live lived among for much of their lives.
Rumors of witchcraft, unprovoked attacks and an unfortunate reveal of the
powers the family struggles to keep hidden threaten to drive the Crew from
their home, just when they crave stability and peace the most.
Despite
all of the upheaval in their lives, the members of the Crew press on, facing
the challenges to come with fortitude, tenacity and a profound love for one
another. Dark days lie ahead, ones that will challenge William and his family’s
sanity and make them question whether life is even worth living anymore. In the
face of unspeakable tragedy, will the Crew rebound so they can seize the
opportunity, unexpectedly lain before them, to learn of their ancient lineage
and convoluted history? Does the appearance of a mysterious, but alluring,
stranger spell disaster and death…or can she provide the answers the Crew have
sought for so long to find the source of their mysterious powers? Even if the
pieces to the puzzle all fall into place, will William’s family be able to
stave off the Damned and prevent the decimation of the family they hold so
dear?”
“War
is coming… Is William’s family ready?
 |
| A Fine Line: The Ancients Part II |
The
mysterious appearance of a young girl—brutalized and half dead—has thrown the
Crew into a heightened state of disquiet. Aurora and her evil pack of Damned
have declared war, and William now wonders if, somehow, the seemingly-innocent
girl may be employed in some way as a dangerous weapon in the coming battle.
Once she has recovered from her injuries, the girl’s lost memories present a
new puzzle the Crew desperately needs to piece together if they are to gain any
advantage over their cruel enemies.
The
revelation of an ancient relic may deliver the critical aid the Crew so direly
requires. Its newly-discovered power enables William to delve into the strange
girl’s memories, but will the answers be too horrifying for the Crew to accept?
Along with the new found strength found in this lost treasure comes a
treacherous caveat, and William must decide if all of the gains gifted to his
family are worth the precarious risks it demands.
After
a gruesome discovery in the woods surrounding their home, the Crew are left
with another rose among the thorns. But, true to form, Aurora comes to tear
that flower away from the vine and claim an advantage for herself. During the
family’s valiant efforts to stop her, Brimmount is critically injured, leaving
him with a handicap the rest of the family fear he may not be able to overcome.
Caroline, William’s wife, fears her own growing powers, brought to fruition by
the duplicitous relic. One of the family members remains missing…and yet
another is discovered by happenstance.
Can the Crew turn disadvantage to
advantage in time to thwart Aurora’s intent to, literally, tear the family to
pieces? Will yet another unexpected, but fortunate, homecoming prove enough to
turn the tide in the bloody war, the outcome of which will spell the very fate
of the human race, as well as that of the ancients?”
Some pretty intriguing and
fascinating stories, don’t you think? I would love to hear some feedback as to how
