I hope you had a wonderful Christmas season, and are enjoying a happy New Year. What a year 2004 has been for me! For my family, this year has been a time of refinement in the Lord, a time when He has turned the heat up to burn out the dross in our lives through various trials, to make us look more like Him. Two family members have been hit with debilitating illnesses that have turned us upside down. My traveling schedule this year was extremely heavy, which made it difficult to get my books written. In the midst of that, we planned the wedding for one of our daughters, which happened just this past weekend. It was beautiful, and marked a happy ending to this season of stress.
For that reason, I’ve been very lax in answering my reader mail over the last year. But please know that I do read every single letter sent to me. They encourage me and fuel me when I need them most. This year, I’m going to try to do better and answer them more promptly.
In March, my fourth Cape Refuge book will be in stores. Don’t miss BREAKER’S REEF, and see the conclusion of Cade and Blair’s story. In BREAKER’S REEF, teenaged girls are turning up murdered. What do these deaths have to do with Sadie, the eighteen-year-old resident of Hanover House, or with her mother, an ex-con and recovering drug addict? Will Sadie survive the new dangers entering her life, or will her own disappearance provide the catalyst to change her mother’s life?
At the moment, I’m working on the first book in my new “Restoration Series.” The first book is called LAST LIGHT, and will release this fall. I’m very excited about it, and will tell you more about it in coming months.
Thank you so much for all you mean to me. May the Lord bless you richly in myriad ways this year, and may the Light in you shine on everyone you see, chasing away the darkness, and bringing life to those without it.
Blessings—
