Today I have the honor of taking part of the cover reveal for Allyson Kennedy’s newest book, The Fall. I reviewed the first book in the series, The Crush, a few weeks ago. But oh my, that book just ripped my heart out. It was so excellent in so many ways, and I can’t wait to read the second installment. 🙂

(Note: This post was not on the schedule, because as a horribly unorganized and scattered college student, not everything turned out exactly as I’d planned. 🙂 My apologies! But I had to blabber on a bit about Untold when I got the chance!)

All right, guys, today is an exciting day, because I get to tell you all about my sister’s newest release, Darkness Draws Near! This is the second book in her series, Kentucky Midnight, and let me tell you – it’s so good. Dystopian, yet not your typical dystopian, a romance, yet not an average romance, and suspense – it’s full of action! And the characters … don’t even get me started on Friedrich and Mellie. 🙂 Those people are so much fun. And did I mention there’s a pro-life theme? Yeah, that just blew my socks off, because that makes the book even better than it already was. Have I convinced you yet? 🙂

Oh my. When I first started this book, I wasn’t ready for the rollercoaster of emotions I’d be put through. And by the middle, I’d accepted the drama. But by the end … wow. Just wow. I don’t cry about book almost ever, and I was about to tear up there.
Cover Reveal: After Our Castle by Kellyn Roth
And they lived … well, happily ever after.
A year into a blissfully happy marriage, Violet Angel admits to a dose of skepticism. She’s not married, granted—but as the closest friend of the bride and groom, she feels she has a perspective no one but the people directly involved could have. There’s no such thing as a happy ending, and it’s only a matter of time before the castle in the sky plummets to earth.
Continue readingReflections on a Year: Is It Worth It?
On August 13th, 2021, I pressed that very scary button and published my first novel, Unknown. (I’m a few days late on its birthday, but I can’t believe my baby is so old!) Being a published author is different than I’d imagined—when I was young, I envisioned myself being published by some huge publishing house like Revell or Bethany House. (And I never imagined publishing a romantic suspense novel! Those were the days of historical fiction.) I dreamed of a far-off day when my book would be in the catalogs, when my book would be on displayed on a popular Christian fiction website.
