Excerpt
“I booked a room at the Inn. I wanted to drop off his things and then prepare for the interview tomorrow.” Rebecca shifted her eyes to look at him. He could tell she was confused by all of Bell’s questions.
“Oh, no, you shouldn’t stay there. It’s just not safe. You can sleep here. No family of mine is overnighting at that place. Why, just last week our friend, Deputy Brian Arnold had to lock someone up for disorderly conduct in the lobby.”
Aunt Bell turned to him. “Walker, get her bag from her car, and I’ll set her up in the mother-in-law suite.”
“No, really, I—”
Bell patted Rebecca’s hand. If the situation wasn’t so serious, he would laugh. But he knew that there was no way Aunt Bell would allow Rebecca to leave her sight.
“We have so much space here at the ranch, honey. It’s not a big deal. Besides, we must think of the safety of you and the baby.”
After a long pause, Rebecca finally gave in. “Well…all right, thank you.” Aunt Bell had raised five boys in her household. She was strong-willed and could get anyone to do anything she wanted before a person even realized she was doing it.
Bell patted the hand she was holding. “Perfect. Now, let me show you to your room while Walker gets your bag. Don’t just stand there, Walker. Go on.” He nodded and jumped up off the couch.
“This way, dear. It’s perfect timing. Walker’s brothers are coming over for Sunday family lunch in about an hour, so you can meet everyone.” Walker didn’t hear Rebecca’s response as she and Aunt Bell disappeared around the corner that led to the bedrooms.
What was really going on here? He needed time to figure it all out. And having the woman who claimed to having his late cousin’s child here, even overnight, would help him get answers. Plus, he was certain Aunt Bell would be devastated if Rebecca left with her only grandchild.
If this truly was Vince’s baby, he would figure out a way to keep the baby close.

Publisher: Aspire Press
Release Date: July 8, 2025

Peace.
The very word evokes images of serene landscapes and quiet stillness. In today’s chaotic world, peace is a valuable commodity. The Bible has a lot to say about peace, claiming that God himself is the ultimate source. In this follow-up to Names of God: Living Unafraid, Grace Fox reflects on how the following names of God point to the peace our souls so desperately crave:
Knowing Peace uses examples from Scripture and compelling real-life stories to illustrate how these names can bring inner peace amid life’s storms. Each session includes a guided prayer, reflection questions, and a video link providing additional insights from Grace. Perfect for individual or group study, this new addition to the Names of God series will encourage and inspire readers to draw near to God and receive his peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Excerpt
When someone truly sees us, we say that they “get” us. They understand our flaws and frustrations; our jumbled emotions; our longings, disappointments, and dreams. They see through our masks and plastic smiles and weak excuses, and they love us anyway.
The name El Roi assures us that God “gets” us. He already knows our thoughts and the intent of our hearts, so we can be completely honest with him. We don’t have to approach him wearing spiritual veneer to cover our blemishes. There’s no point, because nothing is hidden from his sight.
The name El Roi also implies God’s nearness. He is never too preoccupied to care about what’s happening with us. He is present with us—right here, right now—because his Holy Spirit lives in us. Because he is near, he sees everything that happens in our lives, and he’s involved in the details.
Life being what it is, we’ll all experience moments or seasons when we feel alone or invisible. We’ll find ourselves in situations where we doubt that anyone truly understands what we’re going through. We can’t deny our emotions—nor should we—but we can deny their potentially negative power over us by setting our minds on the truth: God sees us. He sees the marginalized, the weary, and those who have lost their last shred of hope. He sees us in our despair and in our deepest place of need. He “gets” us, and he cares.

Excerpt
Sadie darted from the apartment, down the stairs, and out the door. The acrid smell of burnt rubber stung her nostrils when she inhaled.
Craig stood beside the charred remains of his vehicle, batting away thick clouds of black smoke, but he looked unscathed.
Her whole body trembled in relief. She paused for two beats, then flung herself into his arms. “Thank heaven you’re all right. When I saw your car…”
“Shh. I’m all right. Everything’s okay.” He rubbed circles on her back.

Excerpt
BENJAMIN BAT:
I’ll show her some tricks she can’t do.
“Watch this now,” he said as he fluttered away. Benjamin zipped and zapped all over the ravine. He sailed over trees and between narrow branches, giving a grand performance for the flycatcher.
Curious, Benjamin glanced toward JoJo for a split- second. His mistake cost him.
A barred owl was in hot pursuit!
Instantly realizing his error, Benjamin turned sharply to avoid capture, but one of the owl’s talons pierced his wing! For a few seconds, Benjamin was helpless. The owl carried him upward, but his wing’s skin tore, freeing Benjamin.
Without full support from both wings, he nose-dived, slapping flat against a large boulder in the gulch. He rolled down hill through broken rocks and tangled roots.
“Ow! Ow!” he cried with each bump and bounce. The barred owl, whose sharp eyes never lost sight of Benjamin, dove down to finish him off.
JoJo sprang into action.
Shocked and angry, she tackled the much larger bird, pecking at its back over and over until it moved on to find an easier meal. Worried for her new friend, she swooped down to Benjamin’s rescue. “Are you okay?”
About the Author
Of the many jobs I’ve held in the past, including thirty-five years of designing and constructing stained glass windows part-time, teaching was one of the most enjoyable for me because investing in kids is so important. To this end, I continue to encourage good character with clean, moral stories kids and teens love to read. Good books make such an impact.
Writing is hard work, but there’s nothing like a good story to run off with your imagination. When things are flowing, it’s like a vacation. Sometimes the best ideas come in the middle of the night.
When not writing, you’ll find me painting with watercolor, doing school visits, writing a blog, interviewing other writers, designing websites, working as an administrative assistant part-time, and renovating houses.
Is this retirement? Apparently so! I’m loving every minute of it with my husband of 43 years.
