Faith-building Other Worlds

MY NEXT FOCUS

Over the past 18 months, I’ve been working on the Trunk of Scrolls: Paths of Faith and Fire relaunch, including now the audiobook and the Turkish translation.

Ahead of me, I have a fork in the road.

I NEED TO DECIDE which series to finalize first.

Book 1 of each of them is almost ready.

But it depends on what YOU want first.

In Your Hands

If you’re reading this, YOU need to put your vote in. Which have you been more anxious about?

Option 1) Return to Me series (Supernatural “Beyond the Veil” Drama).

In The Last Noel, fireman Reuben Morales deals with the loss of his sister, Vera Morales. In Book 2, we see things from Vera’s perspective when she herself goes ‘beyond the veil’. Book 3, it’s Reuben’s wife Monica’s turn to experience life ‘beyond the veil’.
Book 2) Vera’s Story: Vega Morales, a rookie cop eager to prove herself, becomes bound to a violent ghost after a chilling encounter in a graveyard. Torn between duty, a crumbling grip on reality, and a prophecy fueled by her family’s faith, she’s thrust into a deadly race against time. To survive, Vega must unravel the ghost’s message before it drags her into an eternal grave.
Book 3) Monica’s Story: After a devastating accident leaves her in a coma, Monica Morales awakens in a mist-shrouded silo where strange forces pull her toward eternity. Guided by a cryptic woman, she fights to find the way back to her husband and children before the doorway at the top closes forever. But the deeper she climbs, the more she uncovers truths that could shatter everything she believes about life, death, and the God who holds them. (3 book set)

Option 2) “Immortals” Series (Sci-fi Fantasy Dystopia) (working title)

All forest-dwelling JulieAnn Bishop wants is to keep her family alive. But when monstrous super-soldiers drag them away to face the memory-wiping Shot, she has no choice but to leave the woods and enter Hilltown—a glittering glass city built on the ruins of Los Angeles. There, the Nexus, a worldwide virtual game, ensnares its citizens in twisted pleasures and brutal trials. To survive long enough to find her family, JulieAnn must play along—pretending loyalty to a system that would erase her past, her identity, and even her faith. If they discover who she truly is, she’ll lose not only her memories…but her soul. (4 book set)

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Greetings Reader! Sometimes the world is confusing. News breaks our heart. I think they specifically choose what is ‘news-worthy’ by how it will make us feel B-A-D. I’ve been reading through the Psalms and Psalm 10 really impacted me in light of certain wickedness that has been recently publicly exposed. It asks, “Where are you, God, when difficulty comes on the weak and powerless?” but as it reflects on the wicked man’s…

😭 Weeping at the Physical Therapist 🥾

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Happy February Reader! I had no idea what trouble I was getting myself into. On my way driving to the physical therapist (for my broken-ankle recovery) yesterday, I decided to listen to the almost-complete manuscript of That Beautiful Shore: Monica’s Story (Book 3 of Return to Me trilogy) My phone’s accessibility settings allow it to read ebooks to me. So I pressed play as I began my 20 minute drive to the doctor. It…

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hi Again Reader! Is it really the end of January? How could the month be passed already? I hope you’ve had a great time of it. Have you made some resolutions? I have two recommendations. They were a great part of my 2025 and will be again for my 2026 plans: 1) Read the Bible every day (I use the M’Cheyne Bible reading program integrated with Logos software and the ESV audioBible) 2) Read Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening…
