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.
