Killing Leuk: A Story of The Courageous Journey of Faith of a Mother and Son Who Both Battled Leukemia

Book blurb: Logan was only nine when he was diagnosed with leukemia. The effects of his battle and untimely passing have caused shear grief to ripple through the Marre’s emotions each day. Sixteen years after Logan succumbed to the disease, his mother—Kelly Marre—was delivered the same diagnosis.

Review:  KILLING LEUK by Kelly Marre is a book that will surly touch your heart. I was moved to tears as I read Logan and Kelly’s stories. There is such passion, pain, heartache, endurance, faith and much much more in this story. If you have leukemia or know someone that has been touched by leukemia than this is a must read book. I highly recommend KILLING LEUK. I have been truly blessed by getting to know Kelly by phone calls, personal messages. Even though we haven’t met in person. 5 stars!

New Series about Faith, Love, Family, Forgiveness, and Tuscany! Plus #Giveaway

 

There are some opportunities in life when you say yes without even thinking. It was such an opportunity for me when a wonderful friend and a fellow author Autumn Macarthur asked me whether I’d like to join her, Marion Ueckermann, and four other authors for a multi-author contemporary Christian romance series, A Tuscan Legacy. Faith-filled books about love and family with an international flavor? Where do I sign up?  

I love writing Christian romance and I love traveling. Though I’ve never been to Italy, it was fun researching about my favorite Italian dish, pizza, as the hero of my book is an owner of a pizzerias chain.  

Here’s what A Tuscan Legacy series is about. 

Eight grandchildren–one legacy! 

When Isabella Rossi invites each of her adult grandchildren to her estate in the Tuscan hills for her eightieth birthday, she hopes to reunite a family fractured by distance, death, and secrets. 
The birthday gift of a painting, arriving unsigned and with no sender’s details, rips open old heartbreak. One family secret has already been revealed, her youngest son Albertino’s illegitimate English daughter. Now it seems there could be yet more secrets. 

Returning home, the cousins scattered across three continents each discover their lifetime love. When they gather again at the villa as summer ends, the remaining secrets are revealed. But can they be forgiven, or will the mistakes of the past be repeated? 

Interested? I hope so, because we’ll have nine books, and three of them are already available for pre-order, including Rapsodia: Rhapsody by yours truly.  

A risk taker with a crushed spirit and a control-addicted businessman with a crushed heart… Can they surrender themselves to God’s healing love? 

Each book is only 99 cents right now (price goes up to $2.99 a week after the release), and each one is a complete and satisfying romance. 

If you’d like to read excerpts, buy books, learn more about the series, or follow A Tuscan Legacy on Amazon and get notified about new releases, please click here. And if you’d like to read about the authors and see beautiful pictures taken in Italy and other countries where the books take place, please visit website http://atuscanlegacy.com. While grandchildren are scattered around the world (for example, my book takes place in south Texas), they have a strong connection to each other and their beloved Tuscany.  

And now, without further ado, the giveaway! For a chance to win an ARC of Rapsodia: Rhapsody and to be one of the first people to read it, please answer the following question in the comments. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? The winner will be randomly chosen from the comments four days after this post. I look forward to reading your comments! 

Be sure to pre-order your copy of Rapsodia today. 

Blog tour & Giveaway! A MOST NOBLE HEIR BY Susan Anne Mason

Book blurb:

When stable hand Nolan Price learns from his dying mother that he is actually the son of the Earl of Stainsby, his plans for a future with kitchen maid Hannah Burnham are shattered. Once he is officially acknowledged as the earl’s heir, Nolan will be forbidden to marry beneath his station.

 

Unwilling to give up the girl he loves, he devises a plan to elope–believing once their marriage is sanctioned by God that Lord Stainsby will be forced to accept their union. However, as Nolan struggles to learn the ways of the aristocracy, he finds himself caught between his dreams for tomorrow and his father’s demanding expectations.

Forces work to keep the couple apart at every turn, and a solution to remain together seems farther and farther away. With Nolan’s new life pulling him irrevocably away from Hannah, it seems only a miracle will bring them back together.

Susan Anne Mason’s debut historical novel, Irish Meadows, won the Fiction from the Heartland contest from the Mid-American Romance Authors Chapter of RWA. Also a member of ACFW, Susan lives outside of Toronto, Ontario, with her husband and two children. She can be found online at http://www.susanannemason.com.

“Beautifully balancing sweet forbidden love with a father-son battle of wills, Mason proves to be a highest caliber author in historical inspirational romance. Set in England in 1884, this is a marvelously entertaining story of the search for identity and a struggle for acceptance for both Nolan and Hannah. The purity and tenacity of their love will leave readers tingling, and fans of Roseanne M. White will enjoy Mason’s web of nobility drama and breathlessly exciting conclusion.”—Booklist starred review

His Risk by Shelley Shepard Gray

His Risk (Avon Inspire, March 2018)

An undercover English DEA agent will do anything to protect the Amish girl he loves.

Calvin Fisher left the Amish community at fourteen and never looked back. Only his brother’s illness can bring him back to Hart County. Now, as Calvin works to make amends, he meets Alice, a local nursery school teacher, and falls hard for her. But he has a secret that could threaten the happiness he’s finally found.

Alice shouldn’t like—or want—Calvin. He’s English, has a questionable past, and an even more questionable job. Still, she can’t help being intrigued. Though Calvin assures Alice that he’s worthy of her, she’s torn between surrendering to her growing feelings and steering clear of him.

When a sudden surge of criminal activity alarms the community and even targets Alice, Calvin fears that his double life has put everyone he loves at risk. As for Alice, she can’t help but wonder if the brave and honorable man she’s lost her heart to is far more dangerous than she could ever imagine.

PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST #PaulMovie & #FlyBy

Are you ready? Have you heard the news?  Paul, Apostle of Christ is coming to a movie theater near you. Be sure to get your tickets today.

 

PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST 

 

In PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST , Luke risks his life to visit Paul, who is held captive in a Roman prison under Nero’s rule. Together, they struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ and spread their message to the world. 

 

1. Paul’s letters and writings were vital to the spreading of Christianity, and became a large part of the New Testament.  Our story focuses on how, despite persecution and peril, they shared Jesus’ message of love, redemption and forgiveness with a small community of believers who in turn, took it to the whole world. 

Great pains were taken to maintain biblical accuracy.  Using scripture as the only reference, director Andrew Hyatt recreated the story of Paul on film, including the close relationship with Luke, whom at the end of Paul’s life, at his own peril, traveled in and out of the prison carrying Paul’s writings to the community of believers 

 

The MPAA has rated the film PG-13 for some violent content and disturbing images 

Running time is 1:47 min 

In Theaters Nationwide Week Before Easter Friday, March 23, 2018. 

 

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS/TALKING POINTS 

• A visually stunning, historically-based film that brings to life the story of Paul, who went from becoming the most notorious persecutor of the Church to its most powerful proponent among the nations outside Judea. 
• Two very different men are bound together by their love for Christ. As each of them realize that Rome has been overtaken by Nero’s evil at the same time their lives are drawing to a close, they struggle to finish their races and leave behind a book of lasting importance for the millions who will follow Christ in generations to come. 
• Two themes found in Paul, Apostle of Christ, are relevant today:  

• First, we are surrounded by evil, which can strike suddenly and without cause.  

Second, we can all learn from Paul and Luke: Love is the only answer

A Search for Refuge by Kristi Ann Hunter

Book Blurb:

Margaretta Fortescue desperately needs to disappear from London society, and her only hope is to follow the rumors of another young woman who recently made a life for herself away from the glare of society. Her search leads her to the market town of Marlborough where, in spite of her efforts to avoid attention, she can’t seem to elude local solicitor Nash Banfield.

All Nash wants is a quiet, sedate life–no risks or surprises. When Margaretta, clearly on the run and unwilling to answer questions, interrupts his solitude, his curiosity and his principles won’t let him leave this determined woman without assistance.

But will discovering the truth about Margaretta make him think twice about finally taking a risk on love?

A Search for Refuge is an e-only novella that gives an exciting introduction to Kristi Ann Hunter’s new Regency historical romance series, Haven Manor! Includes an extended excerpt of the first full-length novel in the series, A Defense of Honor.
