The Because Fiction Podcast ·

2023/08/08

Of all the books that would drag me back into Biblical Fiction, one about the cities of refuge in the Old Testament written by Connilyn Cossette seems unlikely. But it was, and now she has a new series that looks into four cousins who run off to fight with King Saul! Um... WHAT? I don't know about you, but I'm excited to check out this series, starting with Voice of the Ancient. Listen in to learn why!

Episode 248: Letters from My Sister by Valerie Luesse

The Because Fiction Podcast ·

2023/08/01

With a title like Letters from My Sister, I knew Valerie Luesse's upcoming release would be an instabuy the moment I saw the stunning cover. After chatting with her about all the nuances in this book, if I hadn't already been convinced, this conversation would've done it. Suspense, intrigue, breaking racial barriers before it was acceptable to do it, and suspicion of someone beyond reproach? What's not to love? Listen in to all the background and fascinating insights into how Valerie put this book

Episode 247: A Chat with Elly Gilbert

The Because Fiction Podcast ·

2023/07/28

There are so many different sects and subsects of the Amish, and that alone can really open up a world of ideas for Amish Fiction authors like debut author, Elly Gilbert. But even within individual Amish communities, people are so very different. How a person's parents interacted with the family, the freedoms allowed or forbidden, the choices of those closest to you--it can all affect how you perceive your life, what you think God wants from you, and what you do when you discover that He might have

First off, can I just say that I totally missed the ball with what a brilliant title A Vanishing Act is for a story about 1940s Hollywood and a missing actress? Just sayin'. Totally flubbed it there, but whoa... Edwina Kiernan has transported her writing a hundred years into the future from her Victorian series to join the Ever After Mysteries with a Beauty and the Beast-inspired mystery full of glamor, backstabbing, and love.

Chatting with avid researchers like Tracie Peterson always offers super-cool insights into things you never knew. Like her research for her upcoming release. She talked about the THOUSANDS of plant varieties displayed in the landscaping of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, and so it was no wonder that she included a botanist among the characters of Finding Us.

Episode 242: A Chat with Wendy Jo Cerna

The Because Fiction Podcast ·

2023/07/04

As I listened to Wendy Jo Cerna talk about her books, I kept getting the feel of supernatural time-slip stories unlike anything I've ever read before. I'll be honest. When she first started describing them, I wasn't certain they were the books for me. But... by the time we got done chatting about each one, I'd already added it to my TBR. Wendy has a unique perspective in her fiction, coming at ideas from a sideways perspective that intrigues me. Listen in to see why! Note: links may be affiliate

The Because Fiction Podcast ·

2023/06/30

A mysterious creature roams the woods of medieval England, much to the horror of superstitious villagers. Always clad in a cloak that conceals all, the creature has never been seen, but rumors abound. Nearly twenty years ago, I created my own world set near the little English town of Seascale not far from Scafell Pike in the Lake District. Ten years ago, the Wynnewood series entered the world. This year, it's getting a whole new look! Listen in and see what happened on my actual trip to the

One of the most underrated and underrepresented genres in Christian fiction is middle grade, so when I learned that Becca Wierwille had a new middle-grade series coming out, I was all in. No, really. She happened to chat at just the right time for me to add her book and the Kickstarter campaign she's running into my current Bookstrings work in progress!

2023/06/16

I kept seeing the cover everywhere. On Facebook, Instagram, on Facebook again. The cover grabbed me. The obvious suspense/thriller feel got me, too. However, I missed one obvious thing until I was chatting with Tracie Peterson one day--it was written by Kimberley Woodhouse. *insert scratched record here* Call me brain frozen, but I didn't know she wrote suspense! But she did--she started off in suspense, and I like to say she's returned to her roots with her latest release, 26 Below. Listen in to

Sovereign Love. The words evoke that rich, deep, faith-filled fiction I love so much, and Joan Embola has a whole series focused on God's sovereignty in all areas of our lives--even love.

2023/06/09

Twelve authors, twelve novels, one sizzlin' summer! What's not to love? I don't know about you, but usually, when someone says they're turnin' up the heat this summer, I picture someone who needs a nice padded room somewhere. This time, however... I'm all in. Literally. I mean, Lisa Phillips sent an email asking if I wanted to be a part of a twelve-author, three-box set series, and it was a no-brainer for me!

Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to help with whatever the family was doing, so Great Aunt Tissy gave you a stack of napkins and told you to put one at each plate? Remember how she commented on what a "big girl" you were? And then, as if that weren't bad enough... remember how you were fourteen and a "big girl" was the last thing you wanted to be? RM Ruiz' The Chosen Kids Saga does just the opposite. She has a cast of related characters who are given real work by God--important work

2023/06/02

I love talking the Word with people who love The Word, and Mesu Andrews is definitely one of those folks. With her new book In Feast or Famine already raking in rave reviews, I knew I'd want to read this book as part of my quest to bring more Biblical fiction into my life, and after talking with her, I want to read it now. Like today. But I can't. I haven't read Potiphar's Wife, and while it stands alone, I definitely want to read that one first. Listen in to see why I think two books that could

I've always been fascinated by Janine Rosche and her books. I even have several on my shelf (unread, but not for long!). However, when I chatted with her about her upcoming release next week, I discovered a book that I feel like saying (and I think I actually did say), "Where have you been all my life?"

Shannon Sue Dunlap isn't new to rom-coms, and her first book in the Sweetheart Series promises to be a literary riot, and it lives up to that promise. I'm only halfway through it and am thinking mean, ugly thoughts of everything keeping me from being able to escape into the crazy small-town politics and quirky characters. So far the com far outweighs the rom, which makes me thrilled to bits. Listen in to discover what makes Lone Star Sweetheart so much fun. Note: links may be affiliate links that
