A Warm Welcome to Regina Andrews To read the first chapter of Act of Faith click on the First Chapter link below. Hi Regina, Tell us a little about Act of Faith.

It is available now in paperback and ebook form on Amazon.  Act of Faith is actually book two in my Dunbar Falls series. The first book, In Good Faith, was released and received outstanding reviews.

A Warm Welcome to Valerie Massey Goree Valerie will give away a copy of Justice at Dawn. Winner's choice, print or e-Book (U.S. residents); e-Book only (non-U.S. residents).  Valerie also shares a wonderful recipe and her favorite Bible verse with the inspirational stories behind them.  The Story Behind Valerie's Mother's Shortbread My mother’s shortbread was a staple in our home when I was a kid. I grew up in the former British Colony of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, in Central Africa. Following our British heritage, we always had people over for tea. Knock on the door any afternoon, and you’d be welcomed with, “Come in. So good to see you. I’ll put the kettle on.” Mom always had her three-tiered cake tin filled with goodies. Sometimes cake, but more often than not, biscuits (cookies), scones, savory cheese straws, and her shortbread. When I got married in Texas, my parents travelled from South Africa for the wedding.  Valerie's parents at her wedding. I’d asked Mom to brin...
