The Story Behind the Story

November 18, 2019 By Lynn Austin

I am so pleased to announce that this week, Tyndale House is offering a special ebook sale of my novel, "Fly Away." The story takes place in 1987—a time period too recent to be a historical novel like my other books, but too far in the past to be a contemporary novel.

When You Pass Through the Waters . . .

October 2, 2019 By D'Ann Mateer

It started out as the perfect storm—in a good sense. We were bringing Jeff’s dad and stepmom to Louisiana to meet their first great-grandchild, but we also wanted to do a little extra, considering that Jeff’s dad turned 75 in August. So when we learned Jeff would have a speaking engagement in Houston in late September, it appeared the perfect segue between the two things. We bought their plane … [Read more...]
