Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

 

Hey, I bet you thought I forgot about my traditional Christmas book shopping suggestions in October for the early get-it-done shoppers. Every book on this list is reviewed here*. Some of these have been out for awhile but merit your attention still. Shall we begin?

Let's start with the Thriller genre:

The first book in the Patrick Bowers Series and the latest in the series. I recommend these and all those in between.

The Immortal Files exposes Robert Liparulo's amazing imagination in a contemporary setting with historical flashbacks. Not normally my kind of novels, but these were superb.

A timeless love story transcending all the magic. Well-written and fantastical.

Suspense:

Athol Dickson creates wonderful characters with exceptional writing in this touching suspense. (Look for the second in the series in February.)

http://www.amazon.com/January-Justice-Malcolm-Cutter-Memoirs-ebook/dp/B00AGAW6EC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382820322&sr=8-1&keywords=January+Justice+by+Athol+Dickson

 

             
51HfiarRiyL__SY344_PJlook-inside-v2,TopRight,1,0_SH20_BO1,204,203,200_

A very well written suspenseful mystery.

I'm not done yet. More tomorrow.

 

Lord, you've given so many so much. Thank you for these who know where their help comes from. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    There aren’t too many lately on my list that we both haven’t read. And, yeah, I think the ones on my “Christmas” list are the best of the bunch. I know if people want some recommended historicals they can hop over to your website.
