Welcome to the Release Tour of

By Paths Unknown and A Brother is Born

Angie and I weren’t going to do blog tours for our books. We were both just going to hit “publish” and then say, “Hey, I have a new book out,” and call it good. But then I found out her book was coming out around the same time mine was. And, since it’s always more fun when you have someone to do something with, I suggested we try a joint release tour.

And so, here we are!

I hope you will join the fun this week as we share parts of the books, behind the scenes, lessons learned, pictures, and more!  Let’s start off with a synopsis of each story so you know something about them before you head to your first stop to read an author interview. (And just so you know, no post will have the exact same things.)

 

A Brother is Born

by Angie Thompson

Benny’s coming hadn’t changed anything–or had it?

With a new foster kid joining Alex Carson’s family, everyone is prepared for changes. So when Benny slips into the tight-knit group with barely a ripple, the family is at once surprised and delighted.

But beneath the surface, deeper waters are stirred as Alex finds herself at odds with Jess over his jokes on the unsuspecting and gullible Benny. Will Jess’s teasing and her own insecurities separate Alex from her brother? Or can a surprising source teach them a needed lesson in love?

The smell of Aunt Liz’s kitchen had become the smell of home to me almost as soon as Jess and I had arrived. I wasn’t sure why, since Mom’s kitchen had always smelled more like boxed mac & cheese or frozen lasagna than homemade stew and freshly baked bread. But somehow the smell meant warmth and comfort and safety—and Aunt Liz, with her blue eyes so like Dad’s and her gentle touch so like Mom’s.

By Paths Unknown

by Rebekah A. Morris

Could God bring peace from such a winding path?

Austin Sparks is doing his best to hold his family together in the wake of his mom’s death, but the world continues to spin out of his control. When his dad announces that the family is moving to their grandparents’ ranch in South Dakota, it’s anyone’s guess whether the change will bring healing or just more heartache.

Back on the ranch, Austin finds hope in the familiar surroundings and help in his loving clan of relatives. But can his dad somehow overcome his grief? Will his siblings ever feel at home? And can Austin trust God to guide them all even when the path seems darkest?

The waitress stopped beside his table. “How was it?”
“The best thing I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. I’m going to have to bring my younger brother here and see if he can eat everything I just ate.”
The waitress laughed. “If he’s anything like my younger brother, he probably could and then want dessert in ten minutes.”
“That sounds about right.” He picked up his hat. “Thanks.”
