Beyond the Deep
When I was asked to be a part of The Potter's House Books series two, I had to say 'yes!' I thoroughly enjoyed the first series - getting to know the readers, "meeting" other authors, and writing books that God placed on my heart.
The new series sees some new authors joining in, and it is a privilege to be writing alongside some truly gifted Christian authors. (I certainly feel out of my depth at times with these 'popular' authors!) But as with everything I write, I pray that God will use my words to touch lives and speak into people's hearts.
Beyond the Deep tells the story of a pastor who walks away from his faith after the death of his son. Through a caring neighbour and various other circumstances, he finds himself longing for God's unfailing love. It takes the reader on an emotional journey in the process of finding healing.
I absolutely love redemption stories. I love seeing God's hand at work, intricately weaving circumstances together to bring the lost into His loving arms. He never fails us, never gives up on us, and even when we wander, He never lets us go. He is always there, always loving, always forgiving.
If you haven't started reading The Potter's House series, may I suggest you do? The series is written by eight authors bringing you twenty-four stories of hope, redemption and second chances - our God's specialty! All books are stand alone and can be read in any order.

WHEN THE HEART CALLS
How much can one heart endure?
Claire Sallaway has lived with an unpredictable heart condition for most of her life. With a plan in place to manage her symptoms, she has been able to avoid any major health problems and live a relatively normal life. With work, church and friends, her life is indeed full. Or so she thought.

Aaron Thurnham is the answer to Claire’s prayers. With the handsome, fun and God-fearing man by her side, life is blissfully perfect and full of adventure.
Until it isn’t.
When tragedy strikes and dreams are shattered, Claire clings desperately to the fragmented remains of her life. Heartbroken, and with every good thing stripped away, she is faced with a choice. Will she become paralyzed by fear? Or will she listen to the still small whisper of God and place her heart in His hands?
When the Heart Calls is a heart-wrenching, inspirational read of one woman’s journey following God’s call on her life.

HOME IN THE VALLEY
His past won’t let him go. Her future looked nothing like she'd planned.
Cameron Harper is tough. He holds his emotions close and his relationships at arm's length. To the outside world he is strong, self-assured and a hard worker. But beneath his over-confident and often-brooding façade, is a man longing for acceptance. He was burnt once and has carried the scars from that rejection around with him his whole life. Trust is not easily given, and the walls around his heart are there for his own self-preservation. Which is why Alyssa Torrens bothers him so much.
As Cameron’s new physical therapist aiding his recovery from a car accident, Alyssa sees beyond the walls he has successfully held in place for so long. She’s not after a fun time, like the majority of girls in Tallowood Valley. In fact, she seems to be hiding behind walls of her own, and that piques Cameron’s interest.
Alyssa moved to Tallowood Valley to help her parents run Hidden Vale Cottages, after her father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Leaving behind her life on the north coast of New South Wales, Alyssa resigns herself to the fact that her future now involves caring for her ageing father and helping run the family business. Gone are her plans of establishing her own business and settling down in the beachside community to raise her own family. For now, she needs to focus on supporting her mother, and grieving for a father who is unable to remember her. With a bleak-looking future, can Alyssa trust in God to guide her steps?
Is Alyssa capable of breaking down Cameron’s walls to help him overcome his past? Is Cameron able to help Alyssa see a brighter future?
A heart-warming story weaving hope and faith throughout the difficult circumstances of life.
