SHOULD THE OAKS FALL is a compilation of eleven stories that will enliven the heart needing rejuvenation—especially to the one who's missed feeling something good on the inside of late.

In EDGAR'S BIRTHDAY, you'll meet Edgar running from his family on his birthday; but, has he really outsmarted his family like he thinks?

In MAD MORNING RUSH, you'll delve into the home of two parents and their two young children who awaken late for a very important occasion.

You'll meet Reuben, blinded in a freak accident, trying to find his way and identity in a big city and a new school. This is REUBEN'S ASCENT.

Enter the world of young Frank, A GOOD BOY, struggling within a broken home to find refuge and a kind word—and going to the least likely place to find it.

In MR KETTLEWELL, you'll be introduced to a seemingly frail, ancient man who lives in the same town as Frank. He has few words but so much to say.

In THE STAR, you'll meet Alex and his lifelong journey to escape tragedy under the shadow of the Roanoke, Virginia monument known as the Star.

In WINTER FRIENDSHIP, heavy snow coats Jerusalem causing children to act the same as usual toward each other—racially charged and angry—until something happens causing the children to forget their hostility and experience wonder.

A woman regains her smile and hope for her decades-old marriage—A MIRACLE IN JUNE.

You'll acquaintance a homeless woman who has so little yet gives so much in THE WIDOW'S TWO MITES.

You'll find yourself in the medieval world of a jester who's struggling to keep his head between his shoulders before a gloomy, stoic king. Enter a boy named Oat to the rescue. But will the boy’s actions help THE JESTER'S PLIGHT or speed his demise?

SHOULD THE OAKS FALL is the story of a lost-in-life city teen who finds his world turned upside down when he’s forced to stay the summer in the countryside with his aging grandfather, Thomas Bailey. While there, the boy begins to uncover a past he had no idea his grandfather had lived--and discover a future he never believed possible for himself. (This story features actual journal accounts from Victor "Baseplate" Miller, a World War Two US ranger.)

This compilationfeatures stories that will lift your heart as well as amuse and entertain.

From the Publisher

My Spirit-Filled Fiction Novels are Stories that Captivate the Imagination, Touch the Heart, Challenge the Mind, & Inspire Your Walk with God!

A woman holds the novel in her hands. In the background is a Christmas tree and holiday ornaments.

The Day Jesus Moved Next Door

A seemingly insignificant city becomes the focal point for a spiritual war when the Son of God moves into an old farmhouse on Summit Avenue. The darkness is not happy.

Inspired by Joshua, Piercing the Darkness, & my own novel, The Jesus Boy, this novel will touch your heart, make you laugh, & perhaps shed a tear or two.

This story may also inspire you in your faith walk with the LORD.

My book sits upright on a desk beside another prone book.

Shiloh's Rising

This epic begins the day after the Second Coming.

With the Eternal King's return, Eden is reborn. Those who enter the New Earth must find a way to move past their lives still anchored to Old Earth. Will the King's goodness & love be enough to bring the fallen children of Adam into eternal redemption?

This novel explores those who enter the Millennial Reign spanning continents & ten centuries bringing us to the edge of Eternity.

Get lost in the King's World.

The "The Jesus Boy" novel sits in someone's lap with a cup of hot chocolate.

The Jesus Boy

A seemingly insignificant teenage boy, Joshua Phillips, surrenders his will, his appetites, & his heart to the Holy Spirit. He suddenly finds himself the focal point as darkness comes against him seeking to extinguish his zeal & his closeness to the One.

Will the One within Him be strong enough to resist the temptations, the trials, & the troubles unleashed against him?

    4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than I expected!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019
    I was pleasantly surprised by this collection of short stories. I expected them to be somewhat cheesy and maybe a little boring, like self-published books tend to be.

    The stories were fairly well written and each focused on a certain life lesson or struggle that many people in the world often find themselves fighting. The stories are meant to be encouraging, and I found myself taking something away from one or two.

    My one critique would be the fact that everything turns out a little too perfect in the conclusion. For the most part, once the character realized that they should *insert life lesson here,* their lives instantly became better. While that makes for a classic happy-ending, it's often unrealistic in the real world, and can sometimes be discouraging. While trusting in God will help us follow His plan, it doesn't mean all of our problems will go away.

    Yet, overall, the stories remain short and sweet. It's a good "bedside table" book, and could easily be savored by reading one story before bed each night.

    Much better than I expected.
