I know many, many authors of Christian fiction, and I love to help readers find them. I like to feature their books whenever possible. So be sure to check out my New in Christian Fiction blog posts on Wednesdays. You just may find another favorite author or two.

WHEN A SECRET KILLS
by Lynette Eason

Senator Frank Hoffman committed murder ten years ago–and Jillian watched it happen.

SCORNED JUSTICE
by Margaret Daley
Texas Ranger Brody Calhoun is with his parents in west Texas when an unexpected attack injures the brother of Rebecca Morgan, Brody’s high school sweetheart. The local sheriff, a good friend, asks for Brody’s help. At first, it seems like an open-and-shut case.
As Brody digs deeper, he realizes the attack may be related to an organized crime trial Rebecca will be overseeing. With Rebecca’s help, he compiles evidence involving cattle rustling, bribery, and dirty payoffs that shatter the entire community and put Rebecca directly in the line of fire.
Brody expects to protect her. What he never expects is to fall for Rebecca all over again, or for a murder to throw the case wide open. Is Brody’s faith strong enough to withstand not only deep-rooted corruption and cattle rustling, but also love?

REVOLUTION AT BARNCASTLE INN
by Susan Page Davis
Lily Mitchell’s sister organizes a Patriot’s Day vacation at the Barncastle Inn, with the entire week’s activities set in Revolutionary War days. Lily’s husband was killed in Afghanistan two years ago, and she’s found it hard to move on. A fun vacation where Lily’s family joins Vermont “Patriots” takes her mind off her grief—until one of the “Redcoat” officers quartered at the inn draws her attention. Ethan Danvers is a modern day history professor who enjoys eighteenth-century re-enactments and makes a very convincing British officer. Though they oppose each other in the re-enactment, Ethan makes a special connection with Lily and her son. They’re enemies for the week—but will they be allies for life? This e-book also contains “Where There’s Smoke,” an original romantic short story by Susan Page Davis, as bonus content.

Thank you Robin for sharing these books and authors. I have met Deborah Raney at a book signing she did with Kim Vogel Sawyer, whom I am privileged to know personally, went to church with her in Kansas. I am always glad to meet new authors also.
Deborah and Kim are two very special people, Cherie. I’m glad you’ve had a chance to meet/know them both. And I’m delighted you enjoy these posts.
Thanks Robin. All these books sound wonderful. I’m thankful for Christian writers who give us good stories.
I’m delighted to tell readers about these books, Gay. Glad you enjoy the posts as well as great Christian fiction.
Thanks for hosting me, Robin.
Delighted to be able to host your new book, Margaret!
Great to be here, Robin! I love seeing all the other new books–this looks like a great crop.
So many good books, Susan. So little time. Sigh… (Thanks for sharing your book with my readers.)
Love this feature you do. Really enjoy getting acquainted with new authors =) Can’t wait for Beloved to come out!
I’m glad you enjoy the feature, Stephanie. And naturally, I am delighted you are so eager for Beloved to release. I’m anxious for it too. Right now I am proofing the typeset pages, which is my last opportunity to see the book before it heads to the printer. So it is getting closer and closer.
Robin,
We have all of these authors and yourself in my Church Library. I love the idea of Christian Fiction Wednesday.
I’m recovering from dental surgery and that is what I plan to do today, “Read like there is no tomorrow”.
Thanks!
Janet, I’m sorry about the dental surgery, but I’m glad you’ve got some great reading to do while you recover! Thanks for reading my books among the others.
What a nice variety of titles! Until I saw the link on Facebook, I hadn’t realized you did this on Wednesdays!
So glad you caught the post on Facebook, Debbie. It’s fun to profile the new books coming out.
So many great books out right now! Not enough hours in the day!! But I’ve added several of these to my TBR list! Thanks, Robin!
So glad you shared your book with my blog readers, Deborah. Cannot wait to read it myself. If I were independently wealthy and didn’t need to get 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy, I would do nothing but lie on the couch and read!
