Bring on the Fall Giveaway: FORFEITED

While censorship is comparatively new to the modern-era faithful, history reveals that the battle to control and suppress the Scriptures has been raging for millennia. 

Set in a fantasy realm, FORFEITED takes readers into the heart of one family's continuous struggle for freedom to read their sacred Scriptures.

"Legendary creatures have emerged from ancient realms to stalk mortals. Words, long forgotten, are spoken for the first time in a thousand years, and the soul of an ancient forsaken empire is stirring to life. One family has been entrusted with a treasure that endangers all who possess and understand its mysteries—no one is safe.

More than a thousand years after the fall of the Syvlande Empire, a humble cleric, Brother Davin has escaped his order with a forbidden book—the ancient Rone’en. As Davin translates the sacred texts, terrifying truths emerge, defying the realm’s spiritual stranglehold over its faithful. The lives of all who accept the Rone’en’s sacred words are forfeited—including Davin’s cherished pupil, Julaiin Valo-Treor."

Dear readers, thank you for all your encouragement and support while I've written this series. I hope you enjoy the story of Julaiin's family!

Waiting and ...

Each month this year, I've held off writing a blog post, thinking that SOON, any day, I'd receive word that the next book in the Legends of the Forsaken Empire series will hit the shelves--virtual and otherwise. Unfortunately, the unspecified technical glitch that's hindering the publishing process continues.

So I wait.

Am I going nuts? Yes. And no.

Calligraphy Practice While Waiting

Yes, because I feel as if I'm losing my writing momentum. This more-than-a-year-long wait has dragged at my creative flow like a wet blanket in a humid climate, smothering all initiative and sense of purpose. I didn't realize I'd become so dependent upon the completed cycle of publishing. Yet I am.

And no, because it's been a learning experience. A time to remind myself of discipline, study, and vigilance. Discipline to write during all available hours. Study, intentional study, to keep my sense of wonder and curiosity fresh. Vigilance to remain focused in faith and life. Waiting works too, with purpose. Prayer. And gratitude.

I'm grateful to you all for being there. For encouraging notes I've received. Thank you, dear everyone, and remain safe. I'm praying for you as well during this long, unwantedly eventful, memorable year. Despite everything I could say about this wait and this year, the Lord is GOOD. Always. More news SOON!
