From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Happy Day Reader! Book news. I’m neck-deep in the revision of Vega’s story (Me, Myself, and IT). Oh boy! I absolutely love the ending. I can’t wait to share it with you. Really, truly. I can’t wait for this to be ready to send out. A word of encouragement. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hey Reader ! The Screwtape Letters I’ve always wanted to read The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, but never got very far into the book. That is, until I found the AUDIOBOOK of it for free on YOUTUBE If you’re not aware, The Screwtape Letters is a fictional series of letters from a senior demon to his inexperienced-demon ‘nephew,’ Wormwood. In the story, Wormwood has been assigned to a man who very soon becomes a…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hey Reader ! A JOURNEY WORTH TAKING! I am almost done with Acadia. I’m not a military sci-fi fan whatsoever. But I started listening to this FREE AUDIOBOOK by Sterling Nixon, and was sucked into the story world. It takes place in a futuristic American dystopia where the people have become warriors like Trojans and they are fighting off an assault of ‘roaches,’ which are a kind of alien insect species that has invaded…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hi again Reader ! As promised, we are opening up Round 2 of the Theme Song for CrossFall: The Remnant Rises. This set is a bit different. I am trying for a little bit Hawaiian, a little bit like the Cranberries. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Remember, in the story, the mother is singing to her children in their mountain hideaway. We need a song that is basic enough that could be sung like that, but then that can be…

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Dear Reader, I hope this finds you well. A quick note today. Firstly– Thought to ponder– “Nearness to God is happiness.” Charles Spurgeon I love this quote. At church we have a new song (about the same thing) which we’ve been singing that I can’t get out of my head. My husband just translated it into Turkish from Russian. Surprisingly this song isn’t in English. Essentially, the lyrics are:Let the Whole Earth Proclaim…

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Dear friend, Just a quick message this week. I hope you are well. I’m neck-deep in revisions for Me, Myself, and IT. Pray for me. This week I experienced a cool interconnection of real life and fiction when my husband introduced a new song to the church congregation. Kyrie Eleison. It’s so beautiful! I will record it and share it in the upcoming weeks. If you don’t know, the phrase means, Lord have mercy in Greek. The…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Dear friend, I hope you had a great Easter. I was born on Palm Sunday, and this year Palm Sunday was a day before my birthday. It’s a fun thing to have a birthday near Easter. I hope you had a chance to read Memento Mori message from last week. Get some tissues. This week begins the Theme Song Tournament…. Whisper Hope Tournament I wrote a song for the upcoming CrossFall trilogy. It’s called Whisper Hope (aka Deep Calls…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Happy Easter Reader ! He is risen…indeed! Death Where is thy Sting? My hard-to-find novel, Tim Reynolds, Detective: The Death of Noah Black takes place in Portsmouth, Maine. The choice of location stems from a tragedy that happened there in 1798 that impacted my life permanently. It was the loss of parents Temperance and Seth Walker. I did a bunch of research when I first heard their story–and some day I have a mind to…
