Ready? Okay, let’s start with Therese Heckenkamp.  

Born in Australia but raised in the USA as a homeschooled student, Therese Heckenkamp has been writing stories since before she could spell. At age 18, she completed the first draft of her first published novel. She is now the award-winning author of four Christian romance/suspense novels: Past Suspicion, Frozen Footprints, After the Thaw (a 2016 Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal Winner in Christian Fiction), and The Butterfly Recluse.

Therese's books have reached #1 Bestseller in various Amazon Kindle categories, including Religious Romance, Religious Mysteries, and Inspirational Religious Fiction.

A busy wife and mother of five, Therese fits in writing time whenever she can manage (and sometimes when she can't). A member of American Christian Fiction Writers, she looks forward to writing many more novels in the future.

Therese always welcomes reader feedback and comments. Visit her online: www.ThereseHeckenkamp.com.

Therese’s book, After the Thaw, is Book 2 of the Frozen Footprints series.

Some wounds heal. Others leave scars.

Four years ago, Charlene Perigard survived a brutal kidnapping. Now she’s put that trauma behind her for a promising future with handsome firefighter Ben Jorgensen. But when new danger strikes, a new nightmare begins.

Sinister threats, a midnight attack, and a deathbed promise drive Charlene to the little town of Creekside, where she encounters a man from her past whom she has long struggled to forget: Clay Morrow—ex-convict and brother of her kidnapper. He's also the man who once helped save her life.

Despite the odds, Charlene and Clay forge a tentative friendship, unaware of a brooding, mounting danger that seeks to destroy them both. Charlene’s wounded heart must choose between her fiancé and the man whose past is more scarred than her own. But in choosing, she may just lose everything.

Author Cynthia Hickey has been making up stories since she was a child. How fortunate that she finally found an outlet for her, uh, fictional tellings.

Multi-published and Amazon and ECPA Best-Selling author Cynthia Hickey has sold over a million copies of her works since 2013. She has taught a Continuing Education class at the 2015 American Christian Fiction Writers conference, several small ACFW chapters, and RWA chapters. She and her husband run the small press, Winged Publications, which includes some of the CBA’s best well-known authors. She travels between Arizona and Arkansas, depending on the time of year with her husband. She has ten grandchildren who keep her busy and tell everyone they know that “Nana is a writer”.

Cynthia’s Four Legged Suspect is Book 4 of A Tail Waggin' Mystery Book series.

A dog left on Trinity’s doorstep.

One that has a taste for theft.

When a beagle puppy is dropped off at Trinity’s pet store, Tail Waggin’, with a note calling the little thing a thief, she thinks nothing of it. Until the four-legged rascal steals a Rolex that had already been stolen once. Trinity vows no more mysteries.

Her mother and friend have other ideas sending the three of them along a path of revenge, murder, and the theft of more than a watch.

Could this be the last mystery for the Waterfall Sleuths?

An Army brat, Ronie Kendig grew up in the classic military family, with her father often TDY and her mother holding down the proverbial fort. Their family moved often, which left Ronie attending six schools by the time she’d entered fourth grade. Her respite and “friends” during this time were the characters she created.

It was no surprise when she married a military veteran—her real-life hero—in June 1990 and recently celebrated their 30th Anniversary. Despite the craziness of life, Ronie finds balance and peace with her faith, family.

Ronie has a deep love and passion for people, which is why she earned a degree in Psychology from Liberty University. Ronie speaks and teaches across the country and mentors other writers.

Since launching onto the publishing scene in 2010, Ronie and her books have hit bestseller lists and garnered awards and critical acclaim, including:

2020 Realm Award – Science Fiction – Brand of Light

2020 Alliance Award (Reader’s Choice) – Brand of Light

2020 INSPY Award Short List

Ronie’s book, Kings Falling, is Book 2 of the Wars Book series.

Leif Metcalfe and his team, dubbed Reaper, need to recover the stolen, ancient Book of the Wars if they hope to stop the Armageddon Coalition and their pursuit of global economic control. But their attention has been diverted by a prophecy in the book that foretells of formidable guardians who will decimate the enemies of ArC. While Iskra Todorova uses her connections in the covert underworld to hunt down the Book of the Wars, Leif and Reaper attempt to neutralize these agents but quickly find themselves outmaneuvered and outgunned.

The more Reaper tries to stop the guardians, the more failure becomes a familiar, antagonistic foe. Friendships are fractured, and the team battles to hold it together long enough to defeat ArC. But as this millennia-old conspiracy creeps closer and closer to home, the implications could tear Leif and the team apart.

A native North Carolinian, J. Carol Nemeth has always loved reading and enjoyed making up stories ever since junior high school, most based in the places she has lived or traveled to. She worked in the National Park Service as a Park Aid and served in the US Army where she was stationed in Italy, traveling to over thirteen countries while there. She met the love of her life, Mark Nemeth, also an Army veteran, while stationed in Italy. After they married, they lived in various locations, including North Yorkshire, England. They now live in West Virginia, where, in their spare time, Carol and Mark enjoy RVing, sightseeing and are active in their church. They have a son, Matt, who serves in the US Army and a daughter, Jennifer, her husband Flint, who serves in the US Air Force, and three grandchildren, Martin, Ava and Gage. Their four-footed kid is pretty special too. Holly, a black Lab loves traveling in their RV, and when they pack up to go, she’s waiting inside for them to head out.

J. Carol’s latest book, Glacier of Secrets, is book 4 of her Faith in the Parks series.

Photographer Maggie Lawrence is excited about her new assignment at Denali National Park, that is until her excitement is damped by Ranger Troy Donovan’s refusal to escort her into the wilderness for photos. When an Alaskan senator arrives and Maggie’s assignment changes, Troy is ordered by the powers that be to help Maggie out. When things turn deadly and the senator’s life is at risk, Troy and Maggie find a connection between a thirty-three-year-old Soviet defector’s record and a photo Maggie took on her first day in Alaska. While Troy is investigating deep in the park, Maggie and the good senator are kidnapped. How can Troy rescue them when he must stay on mission? There are foreign operatives in pursuit, and he can’t stop now. This woman who once stirred his refusal of help has stirred other feelings he’s buried deep inside. Now all he can think of is rescuing and protecting Maggie Lawrence.
