Books by Friends
In my writing ministry and working with WinePress Publishing, I have the chance to meet some great Christian writers. On this blog spot I will review books and products that you will enjoy reading, many of them by friends.
To order any of these products and discover other great resources, check out The Salt Shaker Bookstore. My son Joshua runs this charming Christian bookstore in Enumclaw, WA. He grew up tagging along with me to writers' conferences and has a wonderful understanding of the Christian market. He has given me my own Mom's Friends Page on his website to post announcements about my friends' books. | Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie Montana | | Posted on Friday, January 8, 2010 at 8:44pm |  Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie, Montana is a sweet, simple story of faith and love. Two dear friends Tricia Goyer & Ocieanna Fleiss teamed up to write this historical fiction of a young woman who leaves New York to travel to Lonesome Prairie Montana. Julie Cavanaugh planned to head right back East, never expecting to fall in love with the settlers, children, country, and a circuit pastor. To be quite honest, the story was predictable with very few surprises, but I think that is what captivated me the most. It's a simple, fresh relaxing read. Tricia and Ocieanna drew me into the setting and made me feel part of the story. The characters were wonderfully vulnerable as they work out their honest struggles and faith. The biblical virtues shouted loud and clear as each character wrestled with their relationship with God. This book is part of Summerside Press’s Love Finds You series. Each book takes place in a different state. If you’re looking for a good read on a cold night, I recommend Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie, Montana. Order it from the Salt Shaker Bookstore.
Ocieanna is a dear friend and colleague, who I met almost ten years ago through the Northwest Christian Writer’s Association. She is a very talented and promising writer, who has patiently worked at her craft for many years. Ocieanna is fiction columnist for the Northwest Christian Author, of which I am the managing editor. She also edits for me at WinePress Publishing Group.
More important than becoming an accomplished novelist, Ocieanna is first and foremost a spiritual mom. Many times she has asked for a sabbatical from editing in order to put her family first. She is devoted to raising her four children to love the Lord with all their hearts. I believe God will bless her for that commitment. Look for Ocieanna on Facebook.
