Happy release day, everyone!


I'm so excited that it's finally here! I know I've already confessed that launch day is usually a bit anticlimactic, but there's a lot going on today. First of all, I'm touring the US via radio waves all day. You can check out my schedule on yesterday's Radio Tour post. I'd love it if you would tune in! Also, in celebration of the release of Far From Here, we're gi...

The Moment Between by Nicole Baart
" I didn't even realize this was Christian fiction until after I had bought the book. I really liked that this author took a contemporary issue and addressed it without the typical religious catchwords that are typically associated with mental illness... "

“It isn't true that whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger...but whatever doesn't kill you does leave you vulnerable to another day.”
Nicole Baart, After The Leaves Fall

“So much of my life had been spent taking and taking and taking. Thinking it was all about me, believing that everything came down to me and how I felt, what I wanted. Even in my grasping attempts to know God, I did exactly that: I grasped. I sought. Sometimes I waited. But I never opened myself, spread my soul wide as an offering so He could come and capture me. I never let Him run strong fingers through my soil, watering it with His grace so my fruit could grow and grow above the weeds that threatened to choke it out.”
Nicole Baart, Summer Snow

“He could have swept me into his arms, kissed my mouth in a fit of passion, and begged me to be his bride, and whatever deep thirst I had hidden in the heart of me still would not be slaked. Amazing, unfathomable man that he was, I had hoped that he could breathe life into me. It took the touch of his lips to convince me that he was only a man.
True, he stirred something in me- sweetly, tenderly, even graciously- but when his kindness brushed up against my soul, it did not begin to ease the ache of the seemingly bottomless fissure that still gaped.”
Nicole Baart, Summer Snow
