Deb’s Dozen: 12-Word Summaries – St. Augustine, Florida. A serial killer. Two cops in love. Machiavelli loses.

Tess Villanova, brand-new detective after working as a street cop for years, has spent most of those years looking for her roommate Samantha’s killer. Assigned a partner on her first day in her new job, Tess finds that not only is Logan McMillan new to Florida from Chicago, he’s also drop-dead (pardon the pun) gorgeous! Instant chemistry between the two partners bodes a careful walk while on duty. Their first call-out is to Tess’ retired English teacher, Mrs. Ramsey – who frequently calls in a break-in because she can’t find the necklace her husband gave her long ago.

Following a nice conversation with Mrs. Ramsey, who also takes a shine to Logan, the pair get called to the site of a murder – someone else Tess knows, and who is known to the receptionist for the PD. Even more disturbing is the signs at the scene indicate the serial killer may have returned. Tess and Logan are hot on the trail even as things get hot between them.

Cameron leads her detectives and her readers on a convulted chase through the clues that lead them to the killer. We know at the start that they will capture the killer and be in love, but how they accomplish this is the stuff from which Cameron weaves an excellent mystery. You’ll fall in love with Tess and Logan and want to devour their story!

Barbera Cameron has written more than 35 fiction and non-fiction books. She has also been the screenwriter of three nationally-televised movies. She won the first Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award. Barbara lives currently in Edgewater, FL. You can learn more about her at BarbaraCameron.com and AmishLiving.com.

Deb’s Dozen: 12-Word Summaries – Dawn changed the world. Jeshua touched many lives despite the Adversary’s actions.

Elisheba loved her husband, Joseph, but she adored her son, Benjamin. Her husband was a follower of Rabbi Jeshua – a danger belief in these trying times in Jerusalem. Word had just come that Herod had beheaded the Immerser – the Baptist, John. If Joseph’s father, the Lord Pallu knew of his son’s beliefs, they would be disowned and discarded!

A trip to Capernaum to hear Master Iesous, as Joseph’s friends named him in Greek, would have to wait – the time was too dangerous. Elisheba was disappointed – she had long planned on the journey – she’d wanted to hear this Iesous who had her husband so entranced.

So starts a time of trial for them all: for Joseph, a debilitating, dangerous illness; for Elisheba, an all out effort to maintain her reputation; for their friends, Stephanos, and Kore, and Eran, beloved servant, a time of secrecy and silence.
But after even the darkest night, the dawnlight comes!

You will want to read this novella by Kacy Barnett-Gramckow. After reading the story, you will have a new appreciation for the times surrounding the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus. You will laugh and weep, and laugh again – for the dawnlight comes!

As her Amazon bio states, “Kacy Barnett-Gramckow is the author of Dawnlight, a Biblical Novel inspired by Matthew 27:52-53, as well as Moody Publisher’s THE GENESIS TRILOGY: The Heavens Before, He Who Lifts the Skies, and A Crown in the Stars. Kacy also writes Christian Fantasy Fiction.”

Kacy and her husband, Jerry, live in Colorado. Kacy loves to research and masterfully weaves her research into her wonderful worlds of fiction. She is one author whose works you will want to collect, read and reread! THE GENESIS TRILOGY is also incredible and will give you a better appreciation for the Biblical characters portrayed therein.

Attention Book Lovers

I’ve been seeing lots of bookish items lately – and one of my friends cleverly posted a gift list on her blog of items she’d like that would also make good gifts for others. I loved her idea, so I’m stealing the concept from her! While I’m not posting a gift list for me, I know the other book lovers in your life may enjoy these items.

This is a cute journal you can use to record information on the books you’ve read.

I love this sleep-T – okay, this is an item I’d like to have, too!

Aren’t these the cutest earrings? And there’s a pin to match!

I LOVE these mugs!

Lap desks are great for reading and working on iPads or computers – this one seems large enough to be practical.

Of course, the most important gift we ever receive is our salvation from sin and death, given to us by our Lord, Jesus Christ. To repeat a cliche that is truth – “Jesus is the reason for the season.”
