Five Hundred Churches in God's Time (Timeless Love Blog and Newsletter)

"God gave me a dream. He wants me to build five hundred churches."
-An excerpt from In God's Time
Five Hundred Churches in God's Time
by Sandy Kay Slawson
Though predominantly a Christian Historical Romance writer, there are times I write contemporary, devotionals, poetry, and non-fiction. In the Guideposts' In God's Time compilation book, you'll find a fictional account of a true story based on my grandfather's thirty years of missionary work in Guatemala, Mexico, and Paraguay—Five Hundred Churches In God's Time. With the help of letters, articles, pictures, and personal memories from family members, this short story is a tribute to one of the greatest men I ever knew.
Available in print here.

A Lady of Hope series and A Love Worth More Than Gold series (Timeless Love Blog and Newsletter)

While writing, editing, and seeking representation for the Christian Historical Romance series A Lady of Hope set in 18th century England and the A Love Worth More Than Gold series set in 19th century Alaska and the Yukon, I have other flash fiction and short stories coming your way in the months to come. Look for: Cowboy Up, Love on a Half Shell, A Storybook Romance, and more.

Recommended Book of the Month: (Timeless Love Blog and Newsletter)
Waylaid on Whidbey Island by Author Laurie Herlich

"Merry Irving is an itinerant pet-sitter, whose job is to go where the pets are, and their owners aren’t.
Looking for a haven from events in her recent past, Merry accepts a new position on Whidbey Island. She thought the most demanding part of looking after her friends’ three dogs would be riding herd on their rambunctious hundred-pound puppy.
That is, until the dogs wake her in the middle of the night, and she discovers a Port-a-Potty at the construction site next door fully engulfed in flames. Local authorities arrive, including Dave Brady, a semi-retired police detective. The flames die down and a dead body is found.
When bodies begin to pile up like cordwood, Dave uncovers certain aspects of Merry’s past. He informs her that not only is she a material witness, but also a possible suspect. As their rapport grows, Merry, determined to prove her innocence, instead finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer."
About the Author:
