Mercy’s Files

Woohoo! The books are shipping out fast! Yes! My very first in-print book, The Heart Seekers Series, is now available from Amazon. If you haven’t gotten to visit, you can find Mara’s journals that travel across the first story (A Dozen Apologies) and Brent’s emails to his sister that wade through his second story (The Love Boat Bachelor).

After Brent found his happily-ever-after, one of the gals he didn’t choose returns to real life and gets a completely unexpected turn. Not only did her time with Brent spark interest in a chance

Brent’s Emails

When I get my hands on my very first print book, you’ll know about it! Promise!

It’s really funny how this series all came about. Mara really started it all, leaving a trail of wonderful, kind, fun, and genuine characters in her wake.

And did I mention heartbroken? Well, we couldn’t jest leave the poor guys like that! And so, The Love Boat Bachelor was born. Well, he was actually closer to 30 years old when he became The Love Boat Bachelor.

But the title wasn’t his fault. Blame his meddling sister and his well-meaning best friend for contriving to get this poor guy

Mara’s Journals

The Heart Seekers Series is complete and in print! Way back when these stories were brand new as e-books, each of the stories had extras included here on Faith Driven Fiction. Well, those articles are back!

First up is Mara’s journal. In the novella, A Dozen Apologies, Mara Adkins, a promising fashion designer, has fallen off the ladder of success, and she can’t seem to get up.

In college, Mara and her sorority sisters played an ugly game, and Mara was usually the winner. She’d date men she considered geeks, win their confidence, and then she’d dump them publicly. When Mara begins work for a prestigious clothing designer in New York, she gets

Okay, confession time. I don’t go to the theater to see movies anymore. I actually saw someone chew out Facebook friends for not supporting Christian movies by going to the theaters on opening weekend.

Please don’t flame me if you share that point of view. I simply don’t

Everyone needs forgiveness and Mara Adkins is no exception.

Wow is that an understatement. Sort of like saying she’s not entirely graceful. Or that the things she works on are sometimes less than successful. 

On Your Knees: Inspiration for A Dozen Apologies

A new surrender to the Lord is a beautiful thing. When a heart releases personal desires and expectations. A person lifts up hands, and says, “As You wish, Lord.”

The Votes are IN!

Mara Adkins from A Dozen Apologies

So the votes have been counted for the favorite hero in A DOZEN APOLOGIES, and a clear winner has emerged.

Mara is sitting on pins and needles. She posted yesterday (did you know she has a Facebook profile?) that she’s starting to hear the Jeopardy song playing. I told her that I knew it was tough. As an author, I can just go on to my next novel while she waits around wondering who she gets set up with.

And besides, I already have a Valentine! 🙂

Brokenness and Forgiveness

I confess; I’m a crier. I often gauge how much I enjoy a book by how deeply it touches me. And nothing affects me more than the black moment of a character. The point in which the hero has lost everything that matters to him. With nothing of value left, he surrenders.

Mara’s Journal – Chapter 13

This is Mara’s final journal entry, but not the end of her story. See how you can help her find her true love! If you missed any of Mara’s story, you’re going to want to read up on her at Write Integrity Press. How she created her current state of affairs and why she’s chosen the path she’s on.

The story premise: After coming to know the Lord, Mara Adkins feels compelled to try to right the wrongs she committed during her more manipulative days. And she’s got a LOT of victims to encounter. Yet God just might intend that one of them hold her heart.
