My first Kathleen Denly book, Harmony on the Horizon was a pleasant treat. Full of characters I cared about, historical situations, danger, and faith. It kept my attention and left me wanting to read more from her. I was fascinated to discover the circumstances Margaret and Everett faced in San […]
When I reviewed Courting Misfortune, I commented about how much I loved Amos and Maisie and hoped they would show up in a future story. Well, I got my wish. Proposing Mischief is Maisie’s story, with her brother Amos and cousin Hank stirring up trouble as well. The opening scene […]
Shrouded in mystery and magic, The Promise of Deception is set in fog-shrouded London at the turn of the 20th Century. Tensions between the Irish and English are at a peak. Just 30 years have passed since Jack the Ripper’s unsolved crimes puzzled Scotland Yard. Jessica Sly’s debut novel was […]
My knowledge of American history is lacking because I don’t remember learning anything about the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

Prince Amell has shown up in several Kingdom Tales stories, and I was […]
Broken Together was a marvelous story and a difficult story all wrapped into one. It is hard-hitting and doesn’t sugar-coat the difficulties that imprisonment causes – especially for believers – even when the prisoner is innocent.
