The Cover Reveal for More Sure than the Sun

   Hi friends! I am so thrilled to be revealing the cover of my new book A Torch in the Empire Series Book Two: More Sure than the Sun! The lovely cover art was done by my friend Grace Obenhaus. Grace also did some of the inside illustrations, and there are illustrations by my family and yours truly.
   Lord willing, I’ll be releasing the book in June. But you can preorder it now! Here’s the link to preorder it: https://back40enterprises.square.site/product/more-sure-than-the-sun/39?cs=true
   If you preorder, you’ll get some fun goodies: a free PDF copy of A Torch in the Empire Series Book One: The Fire and the Trial, some exclusive downloadable artwork , and a 10% off code for my friend Aleigha Israel’s Etsy shop, Literary Treasures Co (she makes all kinds of lovely book swag, including a keychain for this book).
   Writing this book has been a journey that I have thoroughly enjoyed! I’ve learned so much and drawn closer to Christ since beginning it. My hope and prayer is that this book will draw you closer to Christ, and you will enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
   For those of you who have read A Torch in the Empire Series Book One: The Fire and the Trial, this book starts out right where that one left off. However, it's written in such a way that it also works as a stand-alone novel.
   Here’s the official back cover blurb:

   It’s A. D. 66. Abigail was warned not to try to escape. Warned of what happens to runaway slaves when they get caught. But ever since she was taken from her home in Jerusalem and sold as a slave in Rome, she’s longed for freedom and to be reunited with her family. So she ran. Now if only she can leave the city of Rome behind. For even if she’s not punished as a runaway slave, her Christian faith is enough to condemn her to a merciless death in the arena.
   For Abigail’s brother Jesse, hating his life and yet fearing death, his existence as a gladiator is misery. He promised his father he would take care of his sister, and he failed. Forced to fight and kill for the entertainment of a bloodthirsty Roman crowd, he puts back every coin he collects, living for the day when he will be free and find his sister.
   A Roman soldier and the son of a wealthy Roman patrician, Lucas has been told that the Christians are evil sorcerers. He is completely unprepared for what he encounters when he actually meets these Christ-followers.
   The second book in A Torch in the Empire Series, More Sure than the Sun is a story of faith, hope, and courage in the midst of darkness. Weaving together fictional characters with real historical persons and events, this series takes you back to first century Rome when the early church faced the worst of persecutions under Emperor Nero.

Well, always remember, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it,” (1 Thess. 5:24).
All for Him,
