I’m thrilled to report that my work has been recognized again, this time by the Cascade Christian Writers Contest. This is a respected writers’ organization that used to be called Oregon Christian Writers. I’m one of four finalists in the chapter book category!
This contest is for unpublished works, so my unpublished chapter book is the one I entered. You’ll be seeing it in the summer when it releases, hopefully July 15. (I say hopefully because the illustrator is behind schedule!)
You can currently buy the ebook for 99 cents as an Amazon pre-order. That price won’t last!
Here’s more about it:
A thrilling time-travel adventure with faith at its core!
Jake and Ava, 11-year-old time travelers, are on a mission to rescue those lost in time. But when a mysterious oversized kitten appears in their driveway, their latest adventure takes an unexpected turn.
Following their furry companion through a time portal, they expect a straightforward mission. Instead, they find themselves stranded in an ancient, misty forest—completely lost. Worse, their first encounter isn’t with a rescuer, but a young man held captive by ruthless raiders. Now, it’s not just about getting home—it’s about standing up for what’s right.
As danger closes in, Jake and Ava must rely on their faith, teamwork, and courage. But the biggest lesson of all? True leadership isn’t about power—it’s about serving others.
Perfect for young readers who love:
* Fast-paced action and exciting time-travel adventures
* Christian values woven into an engaging story
* Strong moral lessons on faith, courage, and servant-leadership
* Beautiful black-and-white illustrations in every chapter
Ideal for homeschoolers, Christian families, and young adventure seekers.
