BETA READING APPLICATION HERE

On the StoryOrigin beta-read hosting site–you read a chapter, comment, and then get the next chapter. It keeps you organized and helps move you through the story in a way that enables me to make the book perfect for you.

Vera’s story is about the sister of Reuben Morales, the main character in The Last Noel.

About the book–

The ghost won’t leave her alone and she’ll do anything to quiet it.
Almost anything.
Vera “Vega” Morales seems to have it all—a promising career with the police, a charming boyfriend, and a cozy life with her purring cat. But behind the perfect facade is a secret she can’t escape. A ghost is stalking her, whispering in her ear, disrupting her life with its dark and restless presence.
When her boyfriend brings home a Bible, the ghost’s reaction is terrifying—and its intentions become clear.
GHOST | SPECULATIVE | CHRISTIAN | CONTEMPORARY | PSYCHOLOGICAL

COMING IN SPRING

In case you missed the announcement last week: Another reason to join SCROLLKEEPERS COMMUNITY–

In the very near future, in our book club we’ll be doing another Choose-Your-Adventure Interactive Mystery Story (like we did with Tim Reynolds, Detective: The Death of Noah Black). It also will be hosted on the ScrollKeepers Book community.

Words to live by:

As I said in the community, the quote above plays a regular part in my daily prayer time as I spend time remembering important facts about life and faith. I hope it’s encouraging to you as well.

See you next week.

God bless you!

Darlene

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Happy January Reader! 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…
