and yes! I’d love a snippet. But only if you want to share it.

@freed_and_redeemed

ack! So long to wait! I’m excited to read these. Do you have a cover artist/designer? Will you have it illustrated?

is your signature a quote from your book by any chance?!

@freed_and_redeemed

It is very rarely necessary to show it. I believe such topics can be handled with grace and truth without having to be graphic about it.

exactly!

So, when will these books be available?!

@freed_and_redeemed

The overly graphic violence and other things are hinted at but kept off page.

Exactly. In my adult books I do give reference to it, but some things just don’t need to be shown. It doesn’t do anything for the story and is only there for sensation, you know? I addressed an issue of a girl who was abused by a gestapo officer,…[Read more]

 “Did you know you can tell the difference between a city duck and a country duck ‘cause they… they have accents?”

Wait, is this true??? I need to know.

and yes, people also need to be able to see the hope and the way to a new life which will only come through redemption in Christ.

@freed_and_redeemed

That makes sense! I’m glad that a Christian author is choosing to address these issues. They do need to be addressed, just not in a way that destroys innocence, glorifies it in a twisted way, or is just unnecessarily graphic.

@freed_and_redeemed

Well, here’s a question, if you’re willing to answer it, why are these things close to you? Like, different topics are important to different writers. I was curious why these are important to you. (I feel like we even glimpse some of them in the Broken and Redeemed Trilogy)

@whalekeeper

I second the character who has some sort of mask up X person who sees straight through them one. I love those.

Others:

Very Serious Important Character who does Very Serious Important things as part of their Very Serious Important Job, X Goofball who wants to befriend them. (I have a a few couples like that, and the dynamic is…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

yes of course!

@freed_and_redeemed ok but that is actually pretty good. Better than me when I was starting out.

I’ll update Celarent as soon as I feel less sick.

@ellette-giselle @loopylin

Sorry y’all. Making tortillas.

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh good! So long as their story will be finished I can force myself to wait.

@freed_and_redeemed

Ahhh!!! But I need more! lol.

I’m liking the idea of this dynamic between them! It could be a really interesting one!! Just promise me that even though you’ve taken a break you will write this last book. I’ve had authors decide to just leave the final book of a series unwritten as they moved on to something new and I would…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

*screams with joy*

*abandons my character in the hands to the gestapo and settles down to read*

@freed_and_redeemed

Okay sounds good. I’d love to get it, but I’ll move it to more of a back-burner book since I do have the story still. XD

@ellette-giselle LOL yeah I don’t think I’d like to see that thing walking around either.

Especially since it’s a goose.

@freed_and_redeemed

AND YES!!! Is that even a question?!?! I would love to read a scene!

@freed_and_redeemed

btw, what sort of changes did you make to the 2nd edition of your book? Is it worth buying the new edition if I already have the old one? Or is it more just a few clerical changes?
