This e-book is a collection of three separate e-books: Death of Secrets, Life of Secrets, and Born with Secrets.

Death of Secrets

Kathy Kelver nearly trips over a murder victim on her way back to her dorm room late one night. In his last words, the dying man gives her stolen data about a secret project that could blow the lid off a shocking conspiracy. From the halls of Congress to the National Security Agency and beyond, Kathy must run for her life from shadowy forces who want her dead, while trying to build a relationship and hang on to her faith. The secret she’s carrying could end the right to privacy forever, if she doesn’t survive to warn the world.

Life of Secrets

Alyssa Chambers is rich and privileged by birth, but a criminal by choice. She steals secrets from the powerful and influential, and sells them to whoever pays – and they pay very well. But when someone assassinates a Presidential candidate in an office Alyssa just robbed, she’s framed for the murder and her whole life goes up in smoke. Now she’s running for her life, hunted and alone. The last man she can trust is the one she can’t stop betraying; a man busy struggling with a religious conversion when she needs him to focus on the here and now. To survive, clear her name, and uncover the assassin, Alyssa will learn about trust and faith, while facing the truth about her past, the truth about her family, and the truth about her Life of Secrets

Born with Secrets

Convicted professional thief Alyssa Chambers longs to forget her past and start a new, cleaner life. She’s reading the Bible, going to chapel, and doing her best to live clean. But when a mysterious woman disappears from federal prison, the government offers Alyssa a deal she can’t refuse: freedom, in exchange for one last job. Now Alyssa must find the escapee before a shadowy conspiracy of spies and politicians can use her secret to shock the world. With her new life hanging by a thread, Alyssa must learn who to believe, how to trust, and what it really means to be born with secrets.

If you bought all three books separately, you’d pay over $10! But today you can read all three for just 99 cents.

Get yours before time runs out!

Five Miraculous Powers You’ll Find in Sons of Thunder

Sons of Thunder is a contemporary Christian fantasy about ordinary people with miraculous abilities. A group of young people discover these abilities in themselves and begin to use them as they come to understand that the powers are gifts from God. At the same time, an opposing group rejects that idea. Calling themselves The Legion, they believe their power comes from strength of will, and wanting the power bad enough to do anything for it.

Here are five of those miraculous abilities you’ll find in Sons of Thunder:

1) Moving objects without needing to touch them. “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.” — Matthew 17:20. The Legion understands this as telekinesis, but the Sons of Thunder know it’s about faith in God.

2) Moving from one place to another. “The Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus.” — Acts 8:39-40. Anna Wales, one of the Sons of Thunder, can move from one place to another, no matter how far away, just by asking the Lord to put her there.

3) Controlling the weather. “He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.” — Mark 4:39. One of the Sons of Thunder calls himself Spark, because lightning comes down where he wants it to.

4) Healing. “they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16:18 One of the Sons of Thunder can heal the deadliest wound just by laying her hands on it.

5) Invulnerability. “They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up” Acts 14:19. Connor Merritt is the protagonist of Sons of Thunder. His skin can’t be broken. It makes him bulletproof, and more.

Brilliant Christian Movie Idea

Darren Wilson of WP Films is making a film version of Pilgrim’s Progress. Learn more about it here:

http://www.kickdriver.com/r/bIELW9Tc

I’ve loved every one of Darren Wilson’s films that I’ve seen (Father of Lights and Holy Ghost). He’s made more, I just haven’t gotten to them yet. In the past, he’s always made documentaries. This next movie will be his first attempt at fiction. It’s called Heavenquest: A Pilgrim’s Progress.

When I did my own Kickstarter campaign to help publish Death of Secrets and get started as a writer, folks were super generous in supporting me. One thing I always wanted to do was find a good project of someone else’s that I could back in return. Now I’ve found it.

I hope you’ll check out Heavenquest and consider supporting the making of the movie. I can’t wait to see it.

Return of the Sons of Thunder

I’ve started work on a second novel in the Sons of Thunder universe.

For those who haven’t read Sons of Thunder yet, it’s a contemporary Christian fantasy where God gives the protagonists miraculous powers. An opposing group of people who don’t think the power comes from God rises up at the same time. If that sounds interesting to you, you really should check it out here.

The new novel will see the return of Connor Merrit, Linc Blunt, Sebastian Crest, and a few of your other favorite Sons of Thunder or members of the Legion. It’ll also introduce a couple new characters.

I’m playing around with a couple titles: Dance of Thunder, Dance with Thunder, or Daughter of Thunder. It really depends on how the ending works out which one I choose.

It’ll take a while before it’s anywhere near ready, though. While you’re waiting, have you read Born with Secrets yet? If not, check it out!

Born with Secrets: Ambassadors Wanted

I’d like to recruit some Ambassadors to help spread the word about my new novel Born with Secrets when it launches.

About the Book

Locked in federal prison, convicted professional thief Alyssa Chambers longs to forget her father’s betrayal and start a new, cleaner life. She’s reading the Bible, going to chapel, and being a model prisoner. But when a mysterious woman disappears from the prison, the government offers Alyssa a deal she can’t refuse: freedom, in exchange for one last job. Now Alyssa must find the escapee before her secret can shock the world. But shadowy forces don’t want Alyssa out, and they’re willing to kill to stop her. With her new life hanging by a thread, Alyssa must learn who to believe, how to trust, and what it really means to be born with secrets.

Who should be an Ambassador?

Did you read Sons of Thunder, Death of Secrets or Life of Secrets? Did you like any of them or all of them? Are you comfortable telling other people that, including strangers and friends? Are you comfortable with a book that’s built around a message that points to the God of second chances and redemption? If so, you’re the perfect candidate.

What do Ambassadors get?

You will get a FREE e-book version of Born with Secrets, and you’ll get it weeks before anyone else. (So, one more qualification for Ambassadors: you should enjoy reading electronically, whether on a Kindle, iPad, tablet, nook, your laptop, or whatever.) I hope to be distributing Ambassador editions on February 22, 2015.

Sounds great! What do I have to do?

Ambassadors commit to two things:

  1. Posting an honest review of the book on Amazon.com as soon as it’s live there. This is the biggest, most important duty of an Ambassador. The most successful e-book marketing tools are all based on the number and average star rating of your reviews. It takes at least 4 to get listed in some places, and as many as 20 in others. I need reviews, and I need them quickly, in order to get started on the advertising campaign to sell the book. Remember: honest reviews. Ambassadors are not obligated to write a good review, or give it five stars, or anything like that. They only commit to posting a review that tells how they really felt about the book.
  2. E-mailing me any typos or edits you might find. The great beauty of electronic publishing is that mistakes can be corrected at any time, even after the book is published. Born with Secrets has a very skilled professional editor, but the lesson I learned from my previous novels is that typos still crop up no matter how many times you think you’ve polished it. This is my request of ambassadors: anything that strikes you wrong about the book, from a typo to a scene that doesn’t work to a character whose actions don’t fit with who they are — tell me about it and be brutal. The point of this isn’t to make me feel good, it’s to make the book better.

Ambassadors are a fundamental part of my marketing strategy. I want to be clear about this: I am asking for your help. If you’re willing, and the above description sounds good to you, then fill out the form below and I’ll get you started!

Serving 30 years in federal prison, convicted professional thief Alyssa Chambers sets out to reform her life. She’s reading the Bible, going to chapel, and being a model prisoner. But when a mysterious woman disappears from the prison, the government offers Alyssa a deal she can’t refuse: freedom, in exchange for one last job. At once she’s sucked into a game where politicians and spies vie for control of a new technology that changes the very idea of freedom. Someone in all this is not who they seem. Finding out who is Alyssa’s only way out, and a single wrong step can kill. With her hopes of living clean dangling by a thread, Alyssa Chambers must learn whether a world of secrets and lies has any place for God. At least one of her friends has a shocking past, and every one of them are Born with Secrets.
