Eyes Of Elisha
Brandilyn Collins
Zondervan
2001 - 388 pages
Paperback

Chelsea Adams has a vision in which she sees the death of a young woman. When she comes back to consciousness after that vision, she looks into the eyes of a dinner guest and experiences a terrifying moment of recognition. She’s certain that he is the murderer of the young woman in her vision. Plenty of twists and turns of plot right up until the end of this edge-of-your-seat thriller.

The Duet
Robert Elmer
WaterBrook
2004 - 304 pages
Paperback

Four Hands. Two Hearts. One Song.
When widower Gerrit Appeldoorn takes his granddaughter to piano lessons one day, he finds himself drawn to her music teacher: a woman unlike any he has known. It’s an unlikely attraction. He’s a retired dairyman with mud on his boots; Joan Horton is a world traveler and former piano instructor at New York’s most prestigious academy of music. Not quite “beauty and the beast,” but close.
Even so, Gerrit slowly begins to open his heart: to Joan, to music, to the possibilities that may be found in both. Yet as their relationship deepens, Gerrit faces crises concerning his family and farm, while Joan confronts a dark secret that threatens her future. While coping with these challenges, neither can predict how their duet will sound as they practice the music of renewed hope and second chances.

Dear Fans of Christian Fiction:

 

Please forgive how soon this second newsletter is to the HOT OFF THE PRESS release.  With Brad Whittington’s imminent author chat this coming weekend I couldn’t leave it any longer before releasing.  Future editions should see everything included in one newsletter, so you should only see one despatch per month from now on, as it used to be.

 

As always, visit http://christianfiction.ne1.net for more recent releases, coming releases, book reviews, author profiles, and author interviews.

 

Blessings,

Ellie

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!

 

In addition to the monthly HOT OFF THE PRESS notifications, I am beginning monthly website update notifications also.  Each month the Christian Fiction Site will have four spotlight author profiles, and possibly other happenings as well.

 

In this newsletter:

  1. January’s Spotlight Author Profiles
  2. The new Adopt-An-Author Club

 

 

1.    January’s Spotlight Author Profiles

 

Ted Dekker

Author of Black, Red, White, Blink and Thr3e, among others.

Traci DePree

Author of the Lake Emily series, and the editor behind many of today's best-selling novelists.

Rene Gutteridge

Author of Ghost Writer, Troubled Waters, Boo and Boo Who, among others.

Mark Andrew Olsen

Author of The Assignment, and co-author of the highly-acclaimed Hadassah.

 

 

  • Ted Dekker
  • Traci DePree
  • Rene Gutteridge

2. The New Adopt-An-Author Club

 

Introducing the new Adopt-An-Author Club, which enables members to interactively participate in keeping the Christian Fiction Site up-to-date with information relevant to their favourite Christian novelists.  As a member, you can become a “Tracker” of your favourite author(s) and notify the editorial team of the Christian Fiction Site when you find an upcoming release that has yet to be listed, any errors in those already listed, new interviews with authors that aren’t already linked from the Site, any redundant links, and many other such relevant items.  You can choose up to five authors to help “track”.  If you are an author of CBA fiction and would like to help by keeping track of your own title listings, interviews, and other links, then by all means, do so! 

 

To join, simply send an email to: adoptanauthor-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Or visit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/adoptanauthor/

 

 

 

Blessings,

Ellie

    Callie's current assignment takes her to North Carolina's Smokey Mountains to research two charities serving migrant apple pickers. Tom is prepared to authorize a million-dollar grant, so it's up to Callie to see which agency should receive the money or if it should be split between them. Callie goes undercover at both charities as a volunteer.

    While conducting her investigations, she discovers that the apple orchard sits atop an old sapphire mine--a mine that may still contain precious gems. A missing migrant worker apparently discovered a secret entrance to the mine and mysteriously disappeared the same day.

    In Birth of an Age, book two of the Christ Clone Trilogy, the promised catastrophes in the biblical book of Revelation are poured out. Asteroids are on a crash course toward earth, locust-like insects inflict terrible pain on mankind, and a generalized madness infects the world's population, spawning horrific violence.

As the story continues, they discover that they share more than a professional passion--they share a love for each other.

    Set in late nineteenth century New York City and the surrounding Hudson River Valley, and incorporating the beginnings of American gospel music, Cadence continues the saga of the courageous immigrants who helped build our nation, the struggles they endured, and the music they created, lived and loved by.

As his real and dream lives collide, a series of disturbing events propel Morris into a downward spiral toward violence and despair. But when his Christian friends risk their lives to demonstrate a love that forgives all offenses, Morris begins to see himself and others for what they really are: sinners in need of the Savior. Features gritty scenery; engaging, complex characters; and a profound message of sacrificial love. Inner-city setting gives The Fall a unique position in the Christian fiction market. Moving portrait of God's compassionate pursuit of sinners.

    At the mercy of international politics, Marlowe is ping-ponged from a military court to both a Senate subcommittee and the International Criminal Court, with Will arguing his defense. And when the disguise if ripped away from past treachery and callous betrayal, both Will and his client must ask, Is forgiveness real?--or face a debacle ending in bloody vengeance.

    Alex believes she is searching for a needle in a haystack until she meets Michael Kenway, a British doctor who lost his wife when "mad cow disease" ravaged Britain in the 1990's. He presents her with an incredible story--a patient suffering from the disease was cured by a mythical "healing tribe" living deep in the Amazon jungle. Reluctantly placing her faith in Michael, who is entirely too religious for her comfort, Alexandra and her team seek out an unreached indigenous group who may hold the cure not only for Alex, but also for the world.

    Award-winning, best-selling author Angela Hunt combines the unique rainforest setting, modern science, and a thrilling race for a cure into a powerful message of faith and redemption.

    Covenant Child
    Terri Blackstock


    Twins Kara and Lizzie know they are heirs to a fortune--"billion dollar babies" deprived of their inheritance and forced to live with uncaring relatives in a ramshackle trailer and a seedy, stinking, one-stop town. They've been told all their lives that their stepmother, Amanda, has stolen their money. And they can't wait for the day when they can sue her for everything and leave their sad, comfortless life behind.

    But then Amanda arrives with gifts and an amazing story--and an even more unbelievable offer--and everything the twins have ever known goes out the window. She says that she's always loved them. That she promised their father she'd take care of them. That she's been kept away all these years by legal technicalities and their greedy grandparents, who want a share of the fortune. But now she wants the twins to come live with her. She wants them to have their full inheritance.

    Which is a problem, especially for the suspicious Kara. When all you've known is deprivation, how can you believe a gift of grace? When you've been lied to for so long, how can you ever know the truth?

    Intensely involving, laced with gritty realism but infused with hope, Covenant Child is a story that will grip you from the outset, keep you reading late at night, and then leave you pondering for weeks to come. 309 pages, softcover from W Publishing. Read an excerpt.

    Almost from the moment Moses is plucked from the Nile in his tiny ark of papyrus, the lost Hebrew seeks his calling. Although raised as a favored prince and future leader in Pharaoh's grand palace, he grows to reject his adopted father's ruthless rule and deities. And all along his life's journey, the women close to his heart provide nurturance, constancy, and allegiance--risking all for the love of this powerful man.

    Merytamon: Fearing her barrenness and encouraged by her own mother, the sensitive Egyptian princess secretly adopts the baby she finds. Her love for her son is unequivocal--but the lie she lives ultimately leads to exile from all she holds dear.

    Miryam: Known for her boldness and her pride, Moses' Hebrew sister speaks what she thinks, eats with the men, and fears few. After a miraculous reunion with her brother, she takes up the mantle of leadership until her anger--so much like Moses'--leads to a soul-searching encounter with a living God.

    Zipporah: For the young Bedouin Moses calls his Brave Shepherdess, it is love at first sight. As she becomes Moses' student, his wife, and the mother of his sons, Zipporah lays bare the truths of the man who alters the course of her life.

    An enthralling, heartbreaking portrait of unwavering love and transcendent belief set against a vivid historical landscape, The Shadow Women is the first account ever to show Moses--his deeds, his life, and his epoch--through the unflinching eyes of women. 384 pages, hardcover from Warner.
