I remembered You, O God and I groaned (Psalm 77:3, NIV) From Connie: This is the favorite verse of the main character, Samantha Hart, in my latest novel, One Among Men . She got this verse from me. It was my first favorite and the very first I’d ever memorized when I began studying the Good Book in my late twenties. You may wonder why someone would love a verse about groaning at the memory of God. Isn’t that memory something we should sing about instead?

Mary will give away EITHER a print book or an e-book. To enter to win, leave a comment and an email address. Hi Mary, what a pleasure to have you on Peering Through Life’s Window. Tell us a little about yourself.  I enjoy creating fiction novels and Christian articles. Inspirational Suspense and Mysteries are my favorite, but anything I write (unless it’s non-fiction) has to have romance. I’m just a romantic at heart. My main goal in scribing is to show how people face adversity and overcome through divine mercy and grace. My days are filled with keeping my grandsons. My schedule also includes doing what I can to support my husband’s ministry. Hubby and I enjoy singing southern gospel, and we go to other churches and re-habitation facilities when time permits. I enjoy the outdoors, especially fishing. Between all that, I must scribe. There’s always a story or devotional floating around in my head. Wow. You have lots of talents. Many writers enjoyed reading as a child. How a

The first book in The Kingdom Series, Inescapable, just released. The second book, Unbreakable, will be out in February of 2013. That book will be followed by a third novel that is as of yet untitled.   I live in Wichita, Kansas with my husband Norman, and my very active puggle, Watson.
