Teen heartthrob Bobby Conrad agrees to perform at a fundraiser concert. But just two weeks before the highly publicized event, Bobby backs out of the benefit. Enter Johnny Hartman, a young, unknown singer to take Conrad&#8217;s place. Debbie soon realizes the twists and turns leading up to the concert are divinely orchestrated.

<p>Can a Canaanite harlot who has made her livelihood by looking desirable to men make a fitting wife for one of the leaders of Israel? Shockingly, the Bible’s answer is yes. At the age of fifteen Rahab is forced into prostitution by her beloved father. In her years as a courtesan, she learns to mistrust men and hate herself. Into the emotional turmoil of her world walks Salmone, a respected leader of Judah. Through the tribulations of a stormy relationship, Rahab and Salmone learn the true<br />
source of one another’s worth in God and find healing from fear and rejection.</p>

<p>Robbing a stagecoach on Christmas Eve and abducting a woman passenger is the last thing Luke Sullivan expected to do. He just wanted to reclaim the money stolen from his pa, but instead ended up rescuing a feisty copper-haired woman who was on her way to marry Sullivan&#8217;s dangerous enemy. Emily McCarthy doesn&#8217;t take kindly to her so-called rescue. Still, she&#8217;s hoping Providence will turn her situation for good, especially when it seems Luke Sullivan may just be the man of her dreams. But Luke has crossed a vicious man, a powerful rancher not used to losing, and Emily is the prize he&#8217;s unwilling to sacrifice.</p>

<p>M. L. (MaryLu) Tyndall grew up on the beaches of South Florida loving the sea and the warm tropics. But despite the beauty around her, she always felt an ache in her soul&#8211;a longing for something more.</p>
<p>After college, she married and moved to California where she had two children and settled into a job at a local computer company. Although she had done everything the world expected, she was still miserable. She hated her job and her marriage was falling apart.</p>
<p>Still searching for purpose, adventure and true love, she spent her late twenties and early thirties doing all the things the world told her would make her happy, and after years, her children suffered, her second marriage suffered, and she was still miserable.</p>
<p>One day, she picked up her old Bible, dusted it off, and began to read. Somewhere in the middle, God opened her hardened heart to see that He was real, that He still loved her, and that He had a purpose for her life, if she&#8217;d only give her heart to Him completely.</p>
<p>She had written stories her whole life, but never had the confidence to try and get any of them published. But as God began to change her heart, He also showed her that writing had been His wonderful plan for her all along!</p>

<p>For the sake of her ailing mother, Marianne Denton becomes engaged to Noah Brennin&#8212;a merchantman she despises. But as the War of 1812 escalates, Jonah&#8217;s ship is captured by the British, and the ill-matched couple learns vital information that could aid America&#8217;s cause.</p>
<p>Relive the rich history of the War of 1812 through the eyes of Marianne Denton and Noah Brenin, who both long to please their families but neither one wishes to marry the other. Noah is determined to get his cargo to England before war breaks out, and Marianne is equally determined to have a wedding so that her inheritance can be unlocked and her destitute family saved. When their stubborn games get them captured by a British warship, can they escape and bring liberty to their country—and growing love?</p>

<strong>From Susan:</strong> I&#8217;ve always loved reading, history, and horses. These things come together in several of my historical books. My young adult novel, <em>Sarah&#8217;s Long Ride</em>, also spotlights horses and the rugged sport of endurance riding, as does the contemporary romance Trail to Justice. I took a vocational course in horseshoeing after earning a bachelor&#8217;s degree in history. I don&#8217;t shoe horses anymore, but the experience has come in handy in writing my books.</p>
<p>Another longtime hobby of mine is genealogy, which has led me down many fascinating paths. I&#8217;m proud to be a DAR member! Some of Jim&#8217;s and my quirkier ancestors have inspired fictional characters.</p>
<p>For many years I worked for the Central Maine Morning Sentinel as a freelancer, covering local government, school board meetings, business news, fires, auto accidents, and other local events, including a murder trial. I&#8217;ve also written many profiles and features for the newspaper and its special sections. This experience was a great help in developing fictional characters and writing realistic scenes. I also published nonfiction articles in several magazines and had several short stories appear in<em>Woman&#8217;s World, Grit</em>, and Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s <em>Mystery Magazine</em>.</p>
<p>My husband, Jim, and I moved to his birth state, Oregon, for a while after we were married, but decided to move back to Maine and be near my family. We&#8217;re so glad we did. It allowed our six children to grow up feeling close to their cousins and grandparents, and some of Jim&#8217;s family have even moved to Maine!</p>
<p>Our children are all home-schooled. The two youngest are still learning at home. Jim recently retired from his vocation as an editor at a daily newspaper, and we’ve moved from Maine to Kentucky.</p>

<p><span>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:</span></p>
<div class="separator"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m32TlugOPkM/TGilrJyyn6I/AAAAAAAADn4/FOBtc2t48SM/s1600/don_brown.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m32TlugOPkM/TGilrJyyn6I/AAAAAAAADn4/FOBtc2t48SM/s200/don_brown.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="149" height="200" /></a></div>
<p>DON BROWN, a former U.S. Navy JAG Officer, is the author of Zondervan’s riveting NAVY JUSTICE SERIES. a dynamic storyline chronicling the life and adventures of JAG officer ZACK BREWER. In 2003, Don began writing <em>Treason</em>, his first novel in the NAVY JUSTICE SERIES.</p>
<p>Paying no homage to political correctness, DON BROWN’S writing style is described as “gripping,” casting an entertaining and educational spin on a wide-range of current issues, from radical Islamic infiltration of the military, to the explosive issue of gays in the military, to the modern day issues of presidential politics in the early 21st Century.</p>
<p>In November of 2009, four years after it was released, and in the wake of Fort Hood, TREASON rocketed to the top-selling in the nation on the Amazon.com bestseller list for fiction, and remained there for over a week. On Thanksgiving Day of 2009, all four of Don’s novels were ranked in the top 5 on the Amazon bestseller list for fiction!</p>
<p>DON BROWN graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1982, and after finishing law school, continued his post-graduate studies through the Naval War College, earning the Navy’s nonresident certificate in International Law.</p>
<p>During his five years on active duty in the Navy, Don served in the Pentagon, was published in the Naval Law Review, and was also a recipient of the Navy Achievement Medal, the Navy Commendation Medal, and the National Defense Service Medal.</p>
<p><strong><span>ABOUT THE BOOK</span></strong></p>
<div class="separator"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m32TlugOPkM/TGinl9rn0OI/AAAAAAAADoA/Lkp7Gh64Ksw/s1600/MalaccaConspiracy+.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m32TlugOPkM/TGinl9rn0OI/AAAAAAAADoA/Lkp7Gh64Ksw/s320/MalaccaConspiracy+.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>
<p>A rogue Indonesian general and his army of terrorists attack oil tankers in the Strait of Malacca in order to profit from oil futures and buy nuclear weapons to establish an Islamic superpower.</p>
<p>Navy JAG officers Zack Brewer and Diane Colcernian race against the odds and a 24-hour deadline before nuclear attacks hit the United States. Departing from the sea of books barely better than soap opera romance and using the frantic pacing of suspense fiction, Brown glides flawlessly among global hotspots of terrorism&#8211;including the United States&#8211;and the book&#8217;s principal settings in Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia.</p>
<p>The President of the United States orders ships of the U.S. Seventh Fleet towards the Malacca Straits to reassert control over the sea lanes, but with time quickly ticking away, will they arrive in time for Zack and Diane to survive this dangerous and final high-stakes drama of life and death?</p>

<p><span>ABOUT THE AUTHORS:</span></p>
<div class="separator"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m32TlugOPkM/TF9pn2BMElI/AAAAAAAADng/aWx9L8l6WFM/s1600/thoenesSmall.gif"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m32TlugOPkM/TF9pn2BMElI/AAAAAAAADng/aWx9L8l6WFM/s200/thoenesSmall.gif" border="0" alt="" width="200" height="166" /></a></div>
<p>Bodie and Brock Thoene (pronounced Tay-nee) have written over 50 works of historical fiction. Over twenty million of these best-selling novels are in print. Eight ECPA Gold Medallion Awards affirms what millions of readers have already discovered—the Thoenes are not only master stylists but experts at capturing readers’ minds and hearts.</p>
<p>Bodie began her writing career as a teen journalist for her local newspaper. Eventually her byline appeared in prestigious periodicals such as U.S. News and World Report, The American West, and The Saturday Evening Post. She also worked for John Wayne’s Batjac Productions (she’s best known as author of The Fall Guy) and ABC Circle Films as a writer and researcher. John Wayne described her as “a writer with talent that captures the people and the times!” She has degrees in journalism and communications.</p>
<p>Brock has often been described by Bodie as “an essential half of this writing team.” With degrees in both history and education, Brock has, in his role as researcher and story-line consultant, added the vital dimension of historical accuracy. Due to such careful research, The Zion Covenant and The Zion Chronicles series are recognized by the American Library Association, as well as Zionist libraries around the world, as classic historical novels and are used to teach history in college classrooms.</p>
<p>Bodie and Brock have four grown children—Rachel, Jake, Luke, and Ellie—and seven grandchildren. Their sons, Jake and Luke, are carrying on the Thoene family talent as the next generation of writers, and Luke produces the Thoene audiobooks.</p>
<p>Bodie and Brock divide their time between London and Nevada.</p>

<p><strong>Where do you run when you know you cannot hide?</strong></p>
<p>Andie Ryborg has nowhere else to go. Her father&#8217;s campaign for governor and his aggressive war on drugs has chased her from their family home. Drawn to Miami&#8217;s exotic Coconut Grove, Andie hopes to find a quiet refuge where she can discover herself apart from the public eye. But even in that seclusion, even with an officer assigned to protect her, Andie&#8217;s privacy has been violated. Someone is watching</p>
<p>Evan Markham&#8217;s entire life has been a tug-of-war between what is and what could be. He is drawn to a life that is beyond his reach and emotions have clouded his judgment. Evan knows that earning someone&#8217;s trust isn&#8217;t easy, especially when he plans to break it. But in the secret corridors of the criminal underworld, he knows what must be done, and he is determined to see it through. Whatever the cost</p>
<p>When enemies close in, a sudden turn of events leaves them both questioning. Where is God in all of this? Who is this enigmatic stranger who offers to help? They both know their lives are in danger. But what about their hearts?</p>
