This week I will be cutting back on blogging to complete countless book reviews, help out at Selah's school, work on my Girl Scout troops community service project and work on my own writing for a change. And...to follow doctor's orders to cut back and take my two rest breaks a day like I'm prescribed. We'll talk about that later. Now onto Bonnie...
Hello Christian Fiction visitors. My name is Bonnie Calhoun. Dee invited me over here as a guest blogger.First and foremost I was raised in a Christian household, but eight years ago I became 'born again' and started a real relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Secondly, I am a writer, unpublished as of yet, but with one completed action-adventure novel and two more in progress. I love to talk, but since the internet is not mainly a verbal medium that helped me to title my blog succinctly as Bonnie Writes.
"Don't forget to breathe..."
I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite Christian fiction authors.
Her name is Brandilyn Collins. She is a best-selling author of Crime thrillers, writing for Zondervan, the Christian division of HarperCollins Publishers.
Well, you ask, how can I call her a best selling author? I'm glad you asked that. Right now all of her suspense novels are in reprint. That is a feat that all writers aspire to achieve. Stain of Guilt and Dead of Night the second and third in Brandilyn's Hidden Faces series are in their second printing. Brink of Death the first in the Hidden Faces series is in its fourth printing and Eyes of Elisha first in the Chelsea Adams series is in the sixth printing.
Brandilyn has a new book called Web of Lies , that will start hitting the book stores in the end of January. I got an ARC (advanced reading copy), let me tell you that it is FABULOUS. Two of my favorite characters from different series are pitted against the bad guy for a spine tingling, roller coaster ride, that is synonymous with her "Seatbelt Suspense" tagline—"Don't forget to breathe..." Brandilyn also hosts a blog called Forensics and Faith , where she teaches the craft of writing and answers questions. Drop by and check out her archives. There's a treasure trove of sound advice for budding writers.
Also visit her website, there's a button to click to lead you to free stuff. She will send you hand autographed book plates for her seven suspense novels, and you can also get a book mark for the Hidden Faces series.
If you love thrillers, you'll love Brandilyn Collins and when you read her books..."Don't forget to breathe..."
A Window to the World by Susan Meissner and Forgiving Solomon Long by Chris Well, both made the Top Ten Christian Novels list from Booklist magazine, published by the American Library Association. The list was selected from all Christian novels released between October 2004 and October 2005.
