Sunset Pointe: First Book in a New Series

It has been an exciting week. It always is for authors where their new book is launched. It is especially so for me since this is the launch of a new series. Sunset Pointe: The Baby Between Us is now available on Amazon books in both e-book and paperback. I think you’ll find the story nostalgic and encouraging even though I am tackling hard subjects families have been faced with through decades.

Here’s a snippet of my first review. To read it in depth, go to my author page on Amazon’s Author Central.

Jonathan and Karla are soulmates, having fallen in love in the third grade. However, the day before their Senior Prom, Karla learns that Jonathan has been unfaithful to her. As a result, he is now the father of her best friend, Missy’s, baby.

When both Jonathan’s and Missy’s parents try to force them to marry, Jonathan can’t see any way out. He takes off—leaving behind his responsibilities and his “one and only true love.”

The lives in Sunset Pointe are plagued with twists and turns, leaving Jonathan and Karla feeling lost without each other.

They have always shared a strong faith in God. Will they call on Him for the strength they need to forgive each other and find their way back to what they once had?

Brenda C. Poulos delivers an exciting modern story about an ageless subject. Fans and first-time readers will love Sunset Pointe: The Baby Between Us. 

Poulos’ talent for writing with passion and truth shines in this story. Her plot offers layers, complications, and twists. Readers keep turning the pages, eager to see what happens next, until the end of this 60,000-word tale.

Who Is God to You???

The current image has no alternative text. The file name is: pexels-photo-774909.jpeg

Psalm 84:12- “Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.”

Continuing on with my topic of God, this survey is subjective. I am interested in hearing from you. What role does God play in your life? 

Here are some examples: Friend, Creator, Savior, Healer, Judge, Provider, Protector, Sustainer, Comforter, Guide, King, and so on. 

Feel free to say “all of the above, none of the above”, or add to the list.

As you know, I write Christian Fiction based on Biblical truth. I intend to use this information to guide my writing over the next year. 

I appreciate your interaction!

Did You Know?

Bestseller book cover lg

I Corinthians 10:31- “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

 

Have you been reading Spiritual Snippets each week, unaware that I am an author of Christian Fiction?

My first book, Runaways, the Long Journey Home, was based on a recurring dream. I consider that book, and the four that have come after it, as opportunities to declare the love and forgiveness of Jesus.

Authors bear tremendous publishing and marketing expenses. The revenue from book sales is what keeps us afloat.

These summer months, with Covid keeping many of us inside, have been the perfect opportunity for new readers to experience just how exciting Christian Fiction can be. 

Here is the book description of Runaways from my Amazon Book page:

No Mama. An abusive father. A dog for a best friend.

Ten-year-old Jake runs away from his remote Appalachian home in the dead of winter.

He and Hound, face freezing temperatures and near starvation as they travel through mountainous terrain.

And, they narrowly escape Father as he tracks them with the very rifle he used to kill Sam and Mama.

Then, when Jake hears about God’s unconditional love for him, he is confronted with the biggest decision of his life:

Will he keep running…

Or face his father?
