“Well, that’s real nice,” he said, reaching out to shake my hand. Similar sentiments were expressed from inside the car, which I accepted on behalf of my employer. I told them I understood if they needed to get going, and I waited until Commander Davis got back into the car before I leaned over and spoke again.

“Oh, and on your way,” I said, “you might want to stop off at Henderson Motors.”

“Henderson Motors?” the commander asked, concern wrinkling his brow. “Do we have a flat tire or something?”

“No, sir,” I replied with a wink. “But they’ll have your new Transmaster Eclipse twelve-passenger van ready for you in about ten minutes.”

“What?” he asked, his eyes wide with excitement.

“It’s all yours, gentlemen, compliments of the J.O.S.H.U.A. Foundation.”

Whispers of the Bayou

Miranda Miller wasn’t looking for the news the day the mysterious letter came. But, trying to survive in troubled circumstances, she welcomes the chance to change her location for a period of time. The letter informs her that her grandparents’ estate is finally about to become hers. She immediately heads down to Louisiana and the old house by the bayou. There Miranda finds secrets that lead to life-changing revelations.

This suspenseful story reminiscent of old Gothic tales has a complex mystery and a vivid sense of the Deep South. Through an intricate mystery, you’ll discover how God can take the darkest circumstances and use them to light a bright path leading to the future.

Shadows of Lancaster County

Anna Bailey thought she left the tragedies of the past behind when she took on a new identity and moved from Pennsylvania to California. But now that her brother has vanished and his wife is crying out for help, Anna knows she has no choice but to come out of hiding, go home, and find him. Back in Lancaster County, Anna follows the high-tech trail her brother left behind, a trail that leads from the simple world of Amish farming to the cutting edge of DNA research and gene therapy.

During the course of her pursuit, Anna soon realizes that she has something others want, something worth killing for. In a world where nothing is as it seems, Anna seeks to protect herself, find her brother, and keep a rein on her heart despite the sudden reappearance of Reed Thornton, the only man she has ever loved.

Under the Cajun Moon

New Orleans may be the “Big Easy,” but nothing about it was ever easy for international business etiquette expert Chloe Ledet. She moved away years ago, leaving her parents and their famous French Quarter restaurant behind. But when she hears that her father has been shot, she races home to be by his side and to handle his affairs—only to learn a long-hidden secret that changes everything she knew to be true about herself and her family.

Framed for murder, Chloe and a handsome Cajun stranger must search for a priceless treasure, one whose roots weave through the very history of Louisiana itself. But can Chloe depend on the mysterious man leading her on this cat-and-mouse chase into the heart of Cajun country? Or by trusting him, has she gone from the frying pan into the fire?
