Hi friends! It has admittedly been a while since I have posted an update. By a while, I mean it’s been years. I now have a husband and a son. My sister still lives with me as well. With all of this, I have not been able to write or update this blog as much as I would like. Now that my son is getting a little older (He’s 22 mos.), I am finding a bit more time for creative expression. That brings me to my new venture.

A New Novel!

I am releasing my second novel, Patches, through Kindle Vella! Kindle Vella allows you to publish stories one chapter at a time. I don’t notice many Christian Fiction authors utilizing this, but I believe Patches works well in this format. For those of you who are unfamiliar with serialized stories, this is how it works. Each episode requires a certain amount of tokens based on the chapter’s word count. The good news is that you can read the first three chapters without tokens. I believe Kindle Vella gives everyone 200 tokens to start. You can click the Patches link to read the first chapter and click the “Follow Story” button across from the title to avoid missing new chapters. Also, one of my favorite things about Kindle Vella is that it is interactive. You can leave comments and ask questions, so let me know what you think about the story.

What’s it about?

I categorize Patches as a Supernatural Thriller. Much like a patchwork quilt, each chapter tells the story from a different perspective. The story starts in Purblind, AL, a fictional town. Citizens of Purblind are tight-knit, and they do not welcome outsiders. When architect Christopher White buys Purblind property and moves his family there, a war erupts in the spiritual and the natural world. Will the Whites and their allies be able to overcome the evil determined to destroy them and run them out of town?

Who are these people?

I thought it might be fun to give you insight into some of the characters you will encounter in Patches:

• Hatred: He is the strongman demon residing over Purblind. He enjoys ruling over its citizens and the demons under his control.
• Carl Evans: He is the boy who lives across the street from the Whites in Purblind. He is a Christian. He enjoys whittling, spying, and talking on his walkie talkie.
• Christopher White: He is a successful architect with a family of 6, including his wife and five children. He enjoys spending time with his family.
• Karen White: She is a lawyer and the wife of Christopher White and mother of his 5 children. She enjoys spending time with her family.
• Carson White: The White’s eldest son. He enjoys listening to music is his room and moping, and playing with his dogs.
• Samantha White: The second child, Samantha, enjoys watching her siblings, reading, and protecting her younger sister from boys.
• Abigail White: She is second girl, and she loves playing in creeks, walkie talkies, and secret club houses.
• Cody and Chaison White: The youngest of the bunch, these twins love playing and arguing with each other.
• Randy Evans: This is Carl’s dad. He enjoys being the leader of the town council, keeping his wife in line, and teaching lessons.
