Into the Fire

Talking novels of course. And you can't go novel shopping without also doing some author shopping. So let me facilitate your author and related genre shopping to help you with your Christmas book buying.

First of all, the very popular genre of Cozy Mysteries is wonderfully handled by these two terrific writers who happen to excel in this genre: 

Karin Kaufman (the Queen of Cozy Mysteries) and Heather Day Gilbert (the Princess of Cozy Mysteries). These ladies have more than one series in the genre.  

Next, let's look at Thrillers. The obvious old and new to name a few:

The late, great Vince Flynn (who created the iconic Mitch Rapp Series, with the latest in the series written by Kyle Mills and soon to be Don Bentley)

Jack Carr (the James Reese Series), Mark Dawson (the John Milton Series), Brad Thor (the Scot Harvath Series), J.B. Turner

(the Jon Reznick Series)

Now let's take a look at my favorite Romance writers for your lovers of good romance:

Francine Rivers, who does biblical fiction too, but she writes beautiful love stories and totally understands the beauty and intensity of romance.

Becky Wade, writer of several romance series. And, yes, she gets romance. 

Kristen Heitzman, author of several contemporary novels, not all of which are just romances, but she's a great and unique writer of romance. 

And we're just about done: Women's Fiction 

Brenda S. Anderson, her "Life-Affirming Fiction" will always touch your heart.

Normandie Fischer, her novels with that southern setting will take you sailing away. 

Finally: Love Stories with a Passion – Raw Romantic Redemptive:

Amazon.com: Nicole Petrino-Salter: books, biography, latest update 

Go buy some book gifts and treat yourself to at least one from the list above. 

Father, thank you for writing and authors. I can never thank you enough for inspiration, words, and stories. Please help me to continue writing love stories with a passion. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
