Ken's book: Devotions with a Friend

 

My husband, Ken Tatum, is an aerospace engineer retiree. He began working on a book of devotions when he was off work for 6 weeks in 2019 during the pandemic. One of his retirement projects has come to fruition as witnessed by this box of books. Devotions with a Friend, available on Amazon using the hyperlink, came about after 43 years of teaching Bible Study with adults. The idea of the book is to sit down with your Bible and a cup of coffee to meet God using one of the devotions. Two people on the cover suggests that sitting together with a friend can be an enjoyable time of sharing that coffee and God's insights with another.

Deborah Maxey's new book: The Endling

The Endling begins in Emerson Grace’s Blue Ridge Mountains, involves her dear relationships with her neighbors, her deceased grandfather’s influence, the mob, and a hit man. As an Endling, she is the last of her tribe and people. After her grandfather’s death, she is alone in her grandfather’s cabin when she discovers that a mob boss has put out a contract on her for something she never saw. How will she survive and protect her small community of mountain people and artists?

Deborah paints an exquisite picture of Emerson Grace, the mountains, as well as the characters that people the artist colony below Emerson’s mountain. The stirrings of the spiritual arise in nature just as her grandfather taught her to hear God and teaches the reader as well. Finding God among all the chaos is not so difficult after all.

 Available May 13, 2021!

I was given an advanced reading copy of The Endling.

Oxford Fairy Tale in boxed set Romancing the Billionaire!

That's right.

Oxford Fairy Tale is part of a special edition boxed set Romancing the Billionaire! It's also available at a special price until Christmas. With five books to read, including Oxford Fairy Tale, it's more romantic fun reads altogether. Like any Winged Publication books, all are clean, sweet, romantic reads.

You can still purchase Oxford Fairy Tale from me or Amazon.

What's hiding in the kudzu?

Kudzu is rampant in the South. It's a lush green vine that covers other vegetation. In doing so, it creates a fantastical landscape, mimicking giraffes, elephants, water falls, etc. But under the kudzu, everything else is dead. It cuts the sun and water from what it overtakes. Killing it is practically impossible.

Kudzu Sculptures is a Main Street Mystery with Winged Publications. Dorie Hudson is a new journalist for the small town local newspaper Daelin Gazette. Her first assignment is to find out about why the kudzu has not been removed from an old stand of loblolly pine. Ross MacAvoy, the owner of a nursery, normally receives a contract to take care of the kudzu. This year the mayor will not allow it. What's hiding in the kudzu and why? Who is he protecting?


The people in Daelin, Georgia, are like the kudzu sculptures. All sweetness and light on the outside but dead bones underneath. Along the way, Ross and Dorie fall in love, but he can't stay in Daelin due to something he finds in his grandfather's truck that he's allowed the kudzu to overtake. Will it's discovery destroy his relationship with Dorie?

I didn't expect this book to be a murder mystery. It just turned into one! It's a crazy feeling when your book surprises you!

I just submitted my latest manuscript to Winged Publications! It's going to be part of a boxed set of billionaire romances. Though Eddie is an heir to an ancient lordship and its fortune, he'd rather work in the basement of the British Museum uncovering the past as an anthropologist/archeologist. Caroline is a Rhodes Scholar and middle school teacher who is in Oxford to complete a masters level project about the lore and legends of England. Along the way she meets the charming Eddie. Look for Oxford Fairy Tale, coming soon!

New Books have arrived!

I have 36 copies of my fourth book, A Time to Love. I also have 10 copies each of my other 3 books with the new covers.

This is an exciting delivery. For the hours expended in writing them. For the joy of seeing then in complete package. For the privilege of sharing with the readers of my other books.


Back Blurb:

Colonial Dream: A Time to Love (Book 2)

Michael Browning, a child of the American Revolution, becomes surrogate father for his four siblings after the early death of his parents. His Uncle Ben has also died, leaving the pulpit empty in the church he started after the war. Bitterness has overcome Michael as each of his siblings finds love with only his youngest sister, Louisa, remaining at home. When the new pastor and his daughter, Susannah, take over the rectory adjacent to the Browning home, he cannot accept Reverend Hawthorne as a substitute for his Uncle Ben. When Louisa falls in love with Susannah’s cousin Theo, Susannah encourages Louisa to elope and offers to serve Michael in her stead. Susannah enjoys matchmaking and sets out to find a match for Michael.

When Michael’s brother Isaiah is taken by the British Navy, Michael must leave his bride before the wedding to find and save his brother as the country begins a new war with Britain.

 Can the beauty tame the beast and his bitterness to create a new relationship based on trust and love?

How will a second war for Independence from Britain affect their love?
