My Twin the Writer - Beautiful Words by John Miller

Truth be known, my brother Jay got the gift.

He penciled lines that made us smile.

Poems, prose and short stories of talking critters and fanciful folks and places, often set to songs to delight

His words in creative flight, unencumbered and rare invited us to wonder, to venture away from the mundane to skip in fields and wander magical forests of childlike imagination, where no adults are allowed

Words flowed onto pages turned, our youthful memories churned,

Where did he? When did he? Were we ever in those places, seemingly familiar?

God’s gift, first for mother’s pen, a writer’s craft honed sharp for many years before it crossed the placenta to a thirsty mind

So rich, this fantasy liquor seeped in that early pregnant time

It was Jay that drank that potion rare from the umbilical cord

Now his

Sipped while sleeping before first breath

Warm in the womb the twin claimed his gift, stored in a fetal memory

And, our mother smiled

A grin, as brother’s tiny hands touched

Busy arms and knees sparred in that watery space

A brother’s bond was made where these twins met in that safe, warm place

Then years spent to fully discover each other

Decades passed while prose’s potion worked, awakening and nourishing the mind of the twin who bore God’s gift

Came time and by the Creator’s design,

A potion long rested was brought alive and given purpose

Words made to soar by a new-found faith

Poems, prose, and song to fill his days

The gifted twin

Drawn close to his
Creator with words of praise

His gift of wonders poured out for us

Words we ponder

Childlike or challenging, he crafted them

The Creator’s purpose has been made known

The twin would use the gift

Through times of joy and struggle

When called to witness in simple, honest manner

By words never before uttered, unleashed, fanciful and written

My twin, Jay, gone home

Honored the Great I AM!

Crazy Creek Christmas by Lisa J. Lickel - Pre-Order for Christmas

Crazy Creek, Wyoming saves Leah Hanes's life. Running on fumes and bald tires, she thanks heaven for Cookie and Jeanette Wimmer who send her to the Rocking J Ranch as a winter cook. Leah arrives to discover the ranch and the people need more than a cook.

Noel Johansen, heir of the Rocking J, happily left for the big city years ago. When he loses his family in a terrible accident, the best thing for everyone is to sell the place, ditch the memories, and move on. But his brother-in-law has other plans, and the beautiful new cook they've hired for the season threatens Noel's desire to remain detached.

The ranch represents Noel's future and selling it becomes more important than ever when one more tragedy leaves him with nothing. But memories can't be bought and sold, nor can a broken conscience heal itself. Home, heart, and future are irrevocably tied in Crazy Creek.

5.0 out of 5 starsA New Genre Adventure from a Great Author

November 9, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

As usual, Nike gives us true-to-life (and so very much needed) characters in this new genre/book. Teens face problems every day--getting through each day as a well-loved, well-adjusted person is hard enough, but for those who suffer from parents who fail in their parenting duties? It's disastrous for the teen.

When young adult Ivy Chambers heads to college life to escape home life, she vows to never have a relationship that is not "true love." But it happens, and Ivy is heartbroken! Ultimately, Ivy is pulled between two young and likable men. Add to the mix suspicious fires, troubling memories, and the pitfalls of a new scene, and Ivy has her young hands full weaving her way through the mix.

This book will pull readers back into their own past of insecurities and problems. You will root for young Ivy and learn to love all of the secondary characters that help make any book better.

I highly recommend this book. Chillemi is an author to follow.

Book Review by Lorilyn Roberts of Book Three in the Montgomery Lake High Series, The Aftermath, by Stacy A. Padula

The Aftermath, Book 3 in the Montgomery Lake High Series, continues with the same cast of characters and delves deeper into the lives of the protagonists, including the good and the bad that ranges from hope to despair. 

I've developed a sense of who these teens are as people and how God is working in their lives in a deep and personal way - when the coming-of-age young adults are willing. 

Montgomery Lake High Series is realistic and meaningful and something that all teens who are searching for truth and meaning in today's chaotic world would greatly enjoy. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Book Review by Lorilyn Roberts of "Infernal Gates" Written by Michael Jack Webb - A Supernatural Christian Thriller in a Genre of Its Own - Based on Scripture

In today's world, where politics, Hollywood tabloids, and salacious news reporters fight for supremacy in entertaining the masses, most are blind to what is REALLY happening behind the veil. 

Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a different reality from the one in which I grew up. Few people are able to recognize the spiritual battle that is being waged. Not a day goes by that we aren't affected, and in "Infernal Gates," Michael Webb gives us a glimpse into that spiritual realm with thought-provoking history, creative exegesis, and mysterious characters that keep the reader turning the pages. 

Masterfully woven together with a hint of romance, tragedy that is too close for comfort, and an original storyline, Inferno Gates embodies the truth of Scripture with a historical and cultural narrative that is refreshing and eye-opening. With an unpredictable plot, the reader is whisked to exotic locations, and as only Michael Webb can artfully achieve, the story comes together with a conclusion that is truly satisfying.

I can't wait to read the sequel which I hear will be available soon.
