Updated Cover

My previous cover for my newest novel, Relics of Life, didn’t quite sit right with me. I think my concern was with the dull colors and the faded look of the images. I found another image that symbolizes the story perfectly that is eye-catching and am happy with it. I believe it stands out much better, as well.

So, one step closer to publication with a clean cover and a solid storyline. It’ll probably take 8 more weeks for the revisions and then submitting to my editor, and when she can schedule me in for her line editing, interior and exterior book cover services before I can publish. Therefore, it’ll probably be released in late July or early August.

I’ll keep you updated, of course!

Friends,

I hope to have my new novel, Relics of Life, out by sometime in the summer. God willing!

Blurb:

The world is in turmoil from Russia to the United States.                                    

Monks Sergius and Herman from a monastery in Russia are sent to the United States to find a saint’s prophetic writings and a small piece of the Cross of Christ that went missing during Stalin’s reign but were then smuggled into America in 1978.                                    

Quiet introvert Stephanie Jenkins and her son and mother live in a town in Virginia, during a pinnacle era where the American Empire is in decline, proven by prolific mass shootings, a third world war raging, and the economy teetering on total collapse. Stephanie must face all the harrowing events falling down upon her and her family, and loss of connection with each other.                                    

The monks’ search takes them to Fairview, Virginia, Stephanie’s home town. Stephanie encounters the monks at her church in the midst of a world gone mad. She discovers why they’ve come and shares their interests. The relics may be their only hope in saving themselves and the broken world.                                    

Stay tuned!

Next Friday, November 5, 2021, my entertaining, funny political satire novelette, The Rocky Retreat, will be published in digital/ebook format for interested readers!

If you’re looking for a light, humorous, and short read, purchase your Kindle, Nook, or Apple Book copy via pre-order or when it’s published!

Look here or here to order.

Here’s the blurb:

Environmentalist Callie and her best friend go on a save-the-wetlands-and-wildlife retreat in a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains. During those four days, Callie and her friend encounter much more than altitude, jagged peaks, sparkling rivers, and welcoming townspeople. On the contrary, adversaries of all stripes litter their vacation with protest clashes, chemically-laden products, and dangerous weapons. While Callie and her friend fight for the survival of the wetlands and wildlife, will they survive the retreat?

Check it out and enjoy a good laugh!
