I am in the midst of finalizing the book cover for the CrossFall series.
I love the work my designer has done and can’t wait to share it with you (within the next couple weeks!) But it’s nerve wracking as I am trying to perfect it.
As a post-apocalyptic story with fantasy elements, CrossFall: The Remnant Rises is an epic adventure series that has taken years to encapsulate into the first story. So the cover needs to reflect not only Book 1 but the feeling of both HOPE and DANGER. I think we’ve hit that goal!
I hope you’ll love the cover as much as I do.

Now that the new year of 2026 is here, I wanted to encourage you to join the community. Membership is free: Win a Trailblazer Membership (for you or a friend) and an awesome feather pen, ink, and scrolls just for checking out the community.
The goal of the community is to share faith-building encouragement to one another in a safe, clean, and private community.
Another reason to join–we’ll be doing another Choose-Your-Adventure Mystery Story (like we did with Tim Reynolds, Detective: The Death of Noah Black) in our book club in the very near future. Only members of the community can participate.

I hope you have a fantastic week.
God bless you!

ESCAPE by Kathy Brasby | Impossible isn’t what it seems When rival superpowers unleash a catastrophic chemical weapon, Micah’s small town is swallowed by a creeping cloud of death. As Micah, his parents, and the last survivors flee toward the mountains, they discover a mysterious scientist who has already built a hidden refuge for the coming collapse. But the sanctuary is not what it seems. And neither is the man who controls it.
For Liberty and Conscience Kickstarter–this is a campaign of an author friend of mine, Jayna. I backed this one the second I was done watching the amazing video. Very encouraging stories and interesting story world!

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hi again Reader ! In my daytime life, I’m a pastor’s wife in Izmir, Turkey.

This week, when I visited its neighborhood, my friends and I discovered another curious project. On the street behind our new ministry center is a row of old Italian homes, from the Ottoman times (above) According…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Greetings and Salutations Reader– Sometimes, when you’re trying your very darndest to do well at playing the game of life–the softball hits you in the face. ⚾️ 🤷♀️ Shrug. That’s the way life is. I was horrified when two beta readers pointed out a blaring plot hole in Vera’s story (Me, Myself, and IT). One beta reader was so kind as to speak harsh-honestly about this. Reading his evaluation, I was so very sad. I hadn’t…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hello to March! And hello to you Reader! I have a special treat for you today–a short autobiographical story I wrote about a life-changing experience I had as a little girl in Japan. It’s a bit sensitive, showing parts of my character I sure can’t shake. But it was quite formative. If I hadn’t survived, you wouldn’t be getting this email today.
