Home: Is It Where Your Heart Is?

A while ago our neighbourhood was turned into a beautiful winter wonderland. The temperature had dropped suddenly and for a while we were shrouded in thick fog. When that cleared, the sun came out and everything sparkled as though it had been painted with a fairy’s brush. The thick frost was dazzling. As I walked Livy that day I remember thinking,

What could be more beautiful?

A satisfying read set in rural Manitoba Canada. I loved the description of the place - enough to put me there but not slow down the story. The characters took shape well as the subplot (tensions in the police constabulary) unfolded. The details of th ...more

Marcia answered S. Daisy's question: I love to support and help authors of Christian books whenever I can. Are you looking for a reviewer or a (very affordable) comprehensive editor? I'd be glad to assist. Hi Daisy - I am looking for reviews for book 1 of my fantasy novel, Journey to a Strong Tower. If you're into that genre, I'd be happy to send you an ebook or pdf. Thanks. Marcia

Tight writing and fascinating history. If you like WW2 stories, this one is a must. Complete with dogfights in the air and intrigue on the ground.
