R.T. Lawrence. The House of Jesus: A Novel. Keledei Publications, 2019.

Just before sunset on January 12, 2010, a powerful earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Within a few terrifying minutes, over one-hundred thousand men, women, and children were killed. Thousands more were critically injured, and millions were displaced to rapidly erected tent cities or hospitals across the country. Swiftly came the international response. Health care professionals from every corner of the world dropped their work and descended on Haiti.
Phillip Scott was a no-nonsense, suffer-no-fools Seattle trauma surgeon. His response to his university dean’s memo looking for volunteers was, “I’m not interested in charity work. It’s not my thing.” After all, if you build a city of a million on cinder blocks on a fault line you’re asking for trouble, right?
But what happens when such a man is immersed in a catastrophic human tragedy? When the victims become human, not statistics?

Available in paperback and eBook at retailers worldwide in April. Pre-order available in March

Preorders coming soon! Down Red Creek by Rachael Llewellyn (Book 1 of the Red Creek Series)

ByCassandra Anderson June 11, 2019August 18, 2022

Fiona Taylor enjoys staying out late with her friends. She hates her mother. She’s bored by her high school, and tired of her day-to-day life. A typical teenager, perhaps.

Except, in some ways, Fiona is not typical. Her mother has forbidden her to enter the basement. A man jogs past their house every day trying hard not to look like a cop. And her mother’s cello case seems to get heavier every time she brings it home. Oh, yes: there’s also a killer in the history books called the Red Creek killer, caught years ago—but is about to become part of Fiona’s life.

Announcing the forthcoming publication of Shattered 1: The Impact by Thompson Charlie.

ByNeela Tudurí-Kłepfisch December 19, 2019August 18, 2022

Displaced and running away from political persecution in Zimbabwe, Bloggs shares his macabre experiences of the regime that forced him into exile.

Depressed by his raw, squalid life, the threat of an ignominious death on the streets of Johannesburg and shame of failing his family, the equilibrium between his inner self and the outside world descends into chaos and mental anguish. In near despair and degradation, his blighted spirit collides with the dark forces of his extremity which triggers an amazing transformation that not only saves him but also touches the broken lives of other people around him.

Bloggs, refusing to pity himself, finds philosophical humour in his life situation. For him it is the enduring spirit of freedom and honesty rallied with courageous responses to forces of dehumanization that constitutes nobility and hope.
