I have great news to share!  The Twelfth Window, my first book, has been announced as a Finalist in Foreword Magazine’s Book Of The Year awards, Fiction/Religious category.  A record number of books (1600 titles) were submitted before the January 15 2008 deadline. 

The Twelfth Window is one of twelve finalists in its genre.  Foreword Magazine is a prominent literary trade publication dedicated to independent publishers, librarians and bookstore owners.  I am honored that my work has been recognized!

 
The Twelfth Window–set in a fantasy 1980s high school–is an allegory about salvation, showing how the Holy Bible is a love story.

Book One in a series of seven, The Twelfth Window follows the heroine, Lisa Chess, and her friends on her search for the one, real and true love… a search that is nearly derailed by her first crush, Monty Ray, and by her own impatience and selfishness.  Lisa and her friends become direct participants in the unfolding of an ancient
prophecy in the meantime, eventually leading them all to discover the ultimate Reality.
