Putting In the Work

A Dim Hope by Katie Clark

 

Thanks so much for having me! Writing a book can be a lot like living life. If we want a certain result, we have to put in the work. Right? If we want a clean house, we have to actually clean it. If we want to take a trip, we need to save the money to pay for it. Want to learn to sew, play the piano, or draw? Yep, you guessed it. Work.

And if we want to get closer to God? That, too, takes work.

Amber, the main character in my story A Dim Hope, doesn’t even know the Keeper. She’s heard of Him, but who can understand this mysterious being? Her sister is gravely injured, yet the next day Amber is sent away to be a servant on a scientific expedition. She is devastated at this turn of events, but the trials cause her to dig deeper for answers about the Keeper.

Amber isn’t afraid to put in the work, and her determination pays off in big ways! You’ll have to read the story to learn more, but it is my hope that I will also be unafraid to put in the work on things that count—in my story worlds, but most of all when it comes to walking with the Keeper!

 

A Dim Hope releases on September 22nd!

Blurb:

Amber is in trouble. Her sister is dying—and so is her homeland. The Lifeforce stones that power their world are waning, and no one knows why. When the rulers of the land prepare a scientific expedition to study the place where the veins of the Lifeforce run deep, Amber is forced to travel as a servant with the expedition. Though Amber has longed for adventure, her dream always included her sister. Now her only wish is to return home with a cure before it's too late.

Crops are wilting, food is scarce, and sandstorms, avalanches, and earthquakes threaten to doom the expedition. Besides this, there are more sinister forces at work. Quiet arguments and missing supplies lead Amber to believe their efforts are being sabotaged. She uncovers clues, but the real source of their trouble—and hope—lies in places she never expected.

A Stalker To Die For by Katy Eeten

  A Stalker to Die For by Katy Eeten I began writing this book at least ten years ago. But as often happens, I hit a writing roadblock and put the manuscript to the side. At the time, I wasn’t sure how to make the plot more intriguing or how to give the story a satisfying conclusion. Instead, I focused my efforts on writing five different contemporary Christian novels and novellas over the past several years. But something kept drawing me back to this storyline, so I knew I had to finish it. A Stalker to Die For was my first attempt at adding suspense into the mix—and it was easier said than done! But I finally completed it. And thanks to a great editor, this book guides readers through a variety of emotions while walking the line between romance, faith, and a suspenseful thrill or two.

Son of the Mountain King by O.R.Sykora

  Blurb:  When an invasion threatens the land of the Mountain King, the fate of the people rests on the shoulders of young governor Judah. She has sworn to prove herself a skillful leader by protecting her kingdom from foes, but difficulty and danger surround her.   Then Judah’s life is saved by two different men who divide her loyalty. One, a fascinating healer, captures the hearts of Judah and her people. The other, a mysterious shepherd, forces Judah to question what she believes to be true.   When a conspiracy comes to light that could destroy Judah and her kingdom, a single choice might cost her people everything. Will the headstrong leader prove herself—or find herself trapped? Extract:    This was always my favorite part.   At a signal, a few young men stepped forward bearing beautifully ornamented boxes. The wood was intricately carved with mountain settings and animals, with graceful accents of gold and precious stones. The first young ma...
