(Dreamhouse Kings #3)

by

Robert Liparulo



ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Robert is an award-winning author of over a thousand published articles and short stories. He is currently a contributing editor for New Man magazine. His work has appeared in Reader's Digest, Travel & Leisure, Modern Bride, Consumers Digest, Chief Executive, and The Arizona Daily Star, among other publications. In addition, he previously worked as a celebrity journalist, interviewing Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Charlton Heston, and others for magazines such as Rocky Road, Preview, and L.A. Weekly.

Robert is an avid scuba diver, swimmer, reader, traveler, and a law enforcement and military enthusiast. He lives in Colorado with his wife and four children.

Robert's first novel painted a scenario so frighteningly real that six Hollywood producers were bidding on movie rights before the novel was completed. His acclaimed debut novel, Comes A Horseman, is being made into a major motion picture by producer Mace Neufeld and his short story "Kill Zone" was featured in the anthology Thriller, edited by James Patterson.

Bob has sold the film rights to his second book, GERM. And he is writing the screenplay for a yet-to-be-written political thriller, which sold to Phoenix Pictures, for Andrew Davis (The Fugitive, The Guardian) to direct!

And his third book Deadfall. debuted to rave reviews!


ABOUT THE BOOK

Bob Liparulo wants to give away a signed 3 book set of the DreamHouse Kings books! Send an email to Bob [at] Liparulo [dot] com and put "CFBA" in the subject line. He will pick a winner next week!!!!

In the third novel of this young adult series, the mystery deepens in a house that is more than meets the eye.

The Kings have been in the creepy old place, their new home, for only a few days, but they've experienced enough terror to last a lifetime. And the mystery is growing even more baffling. Shadowy and shifting, the big house conceals doors into other worlds that blur the line between memories and dreams-and the slightest misstep can change history forever.

At least, that's if they believe the trembling old man who shows up claiming to know them. "There's a reason you're in the house," he tells them. "As gatekeepers, we must make sure only those events that are supposed to happen get through to the future."

The problem is that horrors beyond description wait on the other side of those gates. As if that weren't enough, the Kings are also menaced by sinister forces on this side-like the dark, ancient stranger Taksidian, who wants them out now.

It's hard to believe that things could have gotten worse for the King family-but they have. Dad's in handcuffs, the school bully has just found the secret portal that leads from the high school to the house, and Xander is sure he's found Mom, but they can't get back to her. Then Jesse arrives, and he seems to be a virtual Obi Wan of knowledge about the place. But is he the key they need to unlock the secrets, or just a crazy old man?

Dangers are increasing from within and without when Xander makes a startling discovery that explains why they haven't found any rooms that lead to the future. Alongside the threats, though, they're also starting to find some surprising allies.
All they have to do is get organized, get psyched, and get Mom. But that isn't nearly as easy as it sounds.

Xander, David, and Toria must venture beyond the gates to save their missing mother-and discover how truly high the stakes have become.

Review
"If you like creepy and mysterious, this is the house for you! Every room opens a door to magic, true horror, and amazing surprises. I loved wandering around in these books. With a house of so many great, haunting stories, why would you ever want to go outside?" --R.L. Stine (Goosebumps)

Review
"A powerhouse storyteller delivers his most fantastic ride yet!"
-Ted Dekker, bestselling author of Kiss, Chosen and Infidel

The Red Siren

Barbour Publishing, Inc (January 2009)

by

M.L. Tyndall



ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

M. L. (MARYLU) TYNDALL grew up on the beaches of South Florida loving the sea and the warm tropics. But despite the beauty around her, she always felt an ache in her soul--a longing for something more.

After college, she married and moved to California where she had two children and settled into a job at a local computer company. Although she had done everything the world expected, she was still miserable. She hated her job and her marriage was falling apart.

Still searching for purpose, adventure and true love, she spent her late twenties and early thirties doing all the things the world told her would make her happy, and after years, her children suffered, her second marriage suffered, and she was still miserable.

One day, she picked up her old Bible, dusted it off, and began to read. Somewhere in the middle, God opened her hardened heart to see that He was real, that He still loved her, and that He had a purpose for her life, if she'd only give her heart to Him completely.

Her current releases in the Legacy of The Kings Pirates series include:The Restitution, The Reliance, and The Redemption and The Falcon And The Sparrow

ABOUT THE BOOK

Lady Faith Westcott has turned her back on God and on man. Having witnessed the hypocrisy in the Church of England, her older sister's abuse at the hand of her husband, and her own mother's untimely
death in childbirth, Faith has determined never to marry and to gain enough wealth so she and her two sisters will never have to depend on man or God again.

To that end, though a lady by day, she becomes a pirate by night and begins her sordid career off Portsmouth when she attacks and plunders a merchant ship commanded by the young Dajon Waite. Humiliated at being defeated by a pirate and a woman no less, Dajon returns home without cargo and ship, and his father expels him from the family merchant business.

After a brief sojourn into debased society, Dajon rejoins the Royal Navy, where he finds comfort in the strict rules and redemption through his service to others. Three years later, he is sent to the frontier outpost of Charles Town, South Carolina to deal with the pirate problem. There, he connects with his mentor and old friend, Admiral Westcott, who has just arrived with his three daughters.

Much to Dajon's utter dismay, Admiral Westcott, who is being called away to Spain, asks Dajon to be temporary guardian of his three lovely daughters. One of the ladies seems familiar to him, a striking redhead who immediately sends his heart thumping.

Faith recognizes Captain Waite as the buffoon whose ship she plundered off Portsmouth. Yet, he appears no longer the fool, but instead a tall, handsome and commanding naval officer. Despite her immediate attraction to him, she labels him the enemy, but sparks are guaranteed to fly during the next few months when independent, headstrong and rebellious Faith falls in love with God-fearing honorable, rule-following Dajon-especially when Faith continues her pirating off the Carolina coast while her father is away.

Will Dajon catch her? And what will this man of honor and duty do when he does?

The Centurion's Wife


This week, the

Christian Fiction Blog Alliance

is introducing

The Centurion's Wife

Bethany House Publishers (January 1, 2009)

by

Davis Bunn and Janette Oke



ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Davis Bunn is an internationally acclaimed author who has sold more than six million books in fifteen languages. His audiences span reading genres from high drama and action thrillers to heartwarming relationship stories, in both contemporary and historical settings.

Honored with three Christy Awards for excellence in historical and suspense fiction, his bestsellers include My Soul To Keep, and Full Circle. A sought-after lecturer in the art of writing, Bunn was named Novelist in Residence at Regent's Park College, Oxford University.

He and his wife, Isabella, make their home in Florida for some of each year, and spend the rest near Oxford, England, where they each teach and write.


Her first novel, a prairie love story titled Love Comes Softly, was published by Bethany House in 1979. This book was followed by more than 75 others.

After Love Comes Softly was published, Oke found her readers asking for more. That book led to a series of eight others in her Love Comes Softly series. She has written multiple fiction series, including The Canadian West, Seasons of the Heart and Women of the West. Her most recent releases include a beautiful children's picture book, I Wonder...Did Jesus Have a Pet Lamb and The Song of Acadia series, co-written with T. Davis Bunn.

Janette Oke's warm writing style has won the hearts of millions of readers. She has received numerous awards, including the Gold Medallion Award, The Christy Award of Excellence, the 1992 President's Award for her significant contribution to the category of Christian fiction from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, and in 1999 the Life Impact Award from the Christian Booksellers Association International. Beloved worldwide, her books have been translated into fourteen languages.

She and her husband live nearby in Alberta, Canada.


ABOUT THE BOOK

Janette Oke has dreamed for years of retelling a story in a biblical time frame from a female protagonist's perspective, and Davis Bunn is elated to be working with her again on this sweeping saga of the dramatic events surrounding the birth of Christianity...and the very personal story of Leah, a young Jewess of mixed heritage trapped in a vortex of competing political agendas and private trauma.

Caught up in the maelstrom following the death of an obscure rabbi in the Roman backwater of first-century Palestine, Leah finds herself also engulfed in her own turmoil--facing the prospect of an arranged marriage to a Roman soldier, Alban, who seems to care for nothing but his own ambitions.

Head of the garrison near Galilee, he has been assigned by Palestine's governor to ferret out the truth behind rumors of a political execution gone awry. Leah's mistress, the governor's wife, secretly commissions Leah also to discover what really has become of this man whose death--and missing body--is causing such furor.

This epic drama is threaded with the tale of an unlikely romance and framed with dangers and betrayals from unexpected sources. At its core, the story unfolds the testing of loyalties--between two young people whose inner searchings they cannot express, between their irreconcilable heritages, and ultimately between their humanity and the Divine they yearn to encounter.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Kaye Dacus is an author and editor who has been writing fiction for more than twenty years. A former Vice President of American Christian Fiction Writers, Kaye enjoys being an active ACFW member and the fellowship and community of hundreds of other writers from across the country and around the world that she finds there.

She currently serves as President of Middle Tennessee Christian Writers, which she co-founded in 2003 with three other writers. Each month, she teaches a two-hour workshop on an aspect of the craft of writing at the MTCW monthly meeting. But her greatest joy comes from mentoring new writers through her website and seeing them experience those “aha” moments when a tricky concept becomes clear.




ABOUT THE BOOK

When wedding planner Anne Hawthorne meets George Laurence, she thinks she's found the man of her dreams. But when he turns out to be a client, her "dream" quickly turns into a nightmare. Will Anne risk her heart and career on this engaging Englishman?

George came to Louisiana to plan his employer's wedding and pose as the groom. But how can he feign affection for a supposed fiancee when he's so achingly attracted to the wedding planner? And what will happen when Anne discovers his role has been Stand-In Groom only? Will she ever trust George again? Can God help these two believers find a happy ending?

If you would like to read the first chapter of Stand-In Groom, go HERE

What they're saying about it:

“Dacus pulls off a delightful story that places readers in the heart of the South with the debut of the Brides of Bonneterre series. Readers will enjoy this look at how lives are transformed through devastating events and how forgiveness is the key to a promising future. Nothing is as it seems in this heartwarming story.”
Romantic Times, 4-Star Review

“Absolutely delightful! I enjoyed Stand-In Groom from cover to cover! Ms. Dacus’s clever story and wonderful prose will draw you away to a place deep in the heart of Louisiana, surrounding you with the scents, sounds, and sights of the deep south. A story filled with romance and intrigue, betrayal and forgiveness, I found myself laughing, crying and rejoicing right along with the characters.”
M.L. Tyndall, author of The Falcon and the Sparrow and the award-winning Legacy of the King’s Pirates series

“Stand-In Groom is as sweet, beautiful, and chaotic as a perfectly planned wedding. Anne is a bright and wounded heroine you’re going to care about for a long time. George is a hero to capture your heart. Kaye Dacus will take you along for a fun, poignent ride in Stand-In Groom.”
Mary Connealy, author of the Lassoed in Texas series and Of Mice...and Murder

by

Denise Hunter



ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Denise lives in Indiana with her husband Kevin and their three sons. In 1996, Denise began her first book, a Christian romance novel, writing while her children napped. Two years later it was published, and she's been writing ever since. Her books often contain a strong romantic element, and her husband Kevin says he provides all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too!



ABOUT THE BOOK

A story of new beginnings from best-selling Romance for Good™ author Denise Hunter.
When Josephine's family insists she come home to help with the harvest, the timing works. But her return isn't simple benevolence-she plans to persuade the family to sell the failing orchard.

The new manager's presence is making it difficult. Grady MacKenzie takes an immediate disliking to Josephine and becomes outright cantankerous when she tries talking her family into selling. As she and Grady work side by side in the orchard, she begins to appreciate his devotion and quiet faith. She senses a vulnerability in him that makes her want to delve deeper, but there's no point letting her heart have its way-he's tied to the orchard, and she could never stay there.

A brush with death tears down Josephine's defenses and for the first time in her life, she feels freedom-freedom from the heavy burden of guilt, freedom to live her life the way it was intended, with a heart full of love.

::Peristiwa by peristiwa::

Aku agak banyak waktu senggang sekarang.Ketagihan untuk berblog seperti kurang dapat dikawal lagi.Lebih-lebih lagi apabila berpindah ke rumah baru dan perabot baru ini.Harap kalian suka.Minggu yang paling gumbira untuk aku sepanjang minggu ini.Lena terbuai dengan kenikmatan hidup seorang mahasiswa umpana tidak dibebankan dengan sebarang komitmen.Padahal berlambak lagi kerja yang perlu disiapkan dengan segera.Sessi mengambil gambar untuk pelajar tahun akhir UTeM,aktiviti main bola pada waktu petang, Anti Israel talk seakan tidak molek untuk tidak dikongsi bersama anda semua.Paksaan dari rakan2 untuk melihat senjata aku beraksi merakam segala aksi mereka terpaksa aku tunaikan.Kalau tak,mahu putus sahabatlah aku dengan mereka ini.

Kita mulakan dengan sessi mengambil gambar pelajar tahun akhir berlokasikan dan berlatarkan bekas pejabat bendehari UTeM.Mungkin itu sahaja port yang menarik bagi mereka kot.



~prepared for photography session~


Rata-rata semua rakan2 tahun akhir ini kelihatan sangat kacak dan cantik.Sehinggakan seperti tidak percaya dan tidak boleh diterima akal bahawa mereka2 ini semuanya sangat2 hensem dan kacak.Beratur panjang adik-adik junior yang perempuan untuk mengambil tandatangan atau bahasa kampung nya otograf dari abang-abang senior mereka ini.Demi mejaga nama baik pelajar tahun akhir,semua kehendak untuk tandantangan di buku-buku nota,di tapak tangan,di beg kuliah,kad matrik dan apa jua bentuk permukaan yang halal disentuh dicoretkan dengan sign-sign mereka yang hensem ini..haha



Hensem kan mereka??Kelihatan rakan2 pelajar perempuan masih lagi tidak percaya dengan tahap kemachoan mereka ini.Mana tidaknya,mana perut yang ke depan,bengkung terpaksa dikenakan,yang berjanggut panjang,terpaksa disisir rapi,hampir kepada menjadi belah tengah aku rasa.Yang tidak dapat menahan geram dengan penampilan diri sendiri pada hari itu,kamera enset menjadi pilihan untuk merakamkan aksi setahun sekali itu.



Aku terpaksa minta maaf kepada rakan-rakan perempuan yang ini kerana telah meng"black and white" kan gambar ini.Mereka mungkin telah menghabiskan masa selama satu malam untuk iron baju-baju mereka yang beraneka warna itu,tetapi aku telah menjadikan kepada mode ini.hehe..ayu kah mereka??Anda komen sendiri.Yang aku tahu,abg tukang tangkap gambar itu asyik memandang mereka tanpa kerdipan mata berlaku..huh..

~Bergaya dengan baju bengkel~

Tamat sessi bergambar,pekena roti planta bersama teh ais di Ikan bakar Malim pon layan gak.Petang adalah masa untuk beriadah.hehe


Main sampai tak hengat dunia,kalau di rumah,sah-sah dah kena hambat dengan imam surau berdekatan.Sehinggkan azan magrib berkumandang pon masih lagi berdegil untuk meneruskan permainan.Aku turut bermain,tapi apakan daya,disish keluar angkara ketidakcekapan aku untuk menjaringkan gol.huh..gol sekangkang kera cuma pada skala saiznya,mana mungkin untuk aku menjaringkan gol bukan??Last2,amek gambar lagi best..hehe


Latihan akan dijalankan pada setiap waktu petang demi untuk persiapan menentang skuad Negeri Melaka yang akan beraksi untuk Pusingan awal Piala Malaysia nanti..Jadi,rajin2 kan diri anda untuk turun bermain bola ye.Main bola lagi best dari merokok..erkkk..betul kan statement aku ni??hehe

Sudahkah anda semua memboikot barangan Israel IsaraHell??


Meluangkan masa untuk berkempen memboikot Israel di MITC Hall.Kedatangan Dato' Mukhriz Mahathir telah menyuntik semangat para rakyat untuk secara sekeras-kerasnya menentang kezaliman yang telah dilakukan oleh Israel ke atas Gaza.Klik di sini untuk mendapatkan segala produk yang ada berunsurkan Israel.Bersama-samalah kita memboikot barangan Israel ini.


p/s:sangat letih menaip entry yang panjang ini.Semuanya asalah angkara perabot baru dalam kediaman ini.

p?s/s:Gambar last itu sudah malas untuk diedit.Tampal terus je dari kamera enset.Terbaikdari ladang..hehe

Ted Dekker
and
Erin Healy


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Ted is the son of missionaries John and Helen Dekker, whose incredible story of life among headhunters in Indonesia has been told in several books. Surrounded by the vivid colors of the jungle and a myriad of cultures, each steeped in their own interpretation of life and faith, Dekker received a first-class education on human nature and behavior. This, he believes, is the foundation of his writing.

After graduating from a multi-cultural high school, he took up permanent residence in the United States to study Religion and Philosophy. After earning his Bachelor's Degree, Dekker entered the corporate world in management for a large healthcare company in California. Dekker was quickly recognized as a talent in the field of marketing and was soon promoted to Director of Marketing. This experience gave him a background which enabled him to eventually form his own company and steadily climb the corporate ladder.

Since 1997, Dekker has written full-time. He states that each time he writes, he finds his understanding of life and love just a little clearer and his expression of that understanding a little more vivid. Dekker's body of work encompassing seven mysteries, three thrillers and ten fantasies includes Heaven's Wager, When Heaven Weeps, Thunder of Heaven, Blessed Child, A Man Called Blessed, Blink, Thr3e, The Circle Trilogy (Black, Red, White), Obsessed, Renegade, and Chaos.

*******************

Erin Healy is an award-winning fiction editor who has worked with talented novelists such as James Scott Bell, Melody Carlson, Colleen Coble, Brandilyn Collins, L. B. Graham, Rene Gutteridge, Michelle McKinney Hammond, Robin Lee Hatcher, Denise Hildreth, Denise Hunter, Randy Ingermanson, Jane Kirkpatrick, Gilbert Morris, Frank Peretti, Lisa Samson, Randy Singer, Robert Whitlow, and many others.

She began working with Ted Dekker in 2002 and edited twelve of his heart-pounding storiesbefore their collaboration on Kiss, the first novel to seat her on "the other side of the desk."

Erin is the owner of WordWright Editorial Services, a Colorado-based consulting firm specializing in fiction book development. She and her husband, Tim, are the proud parents of two children

ABOUT THE BOOK

Let me tell you all I know for sure. My name. Shauna.
I woke up in a hospital bed missing six months of my memory. In the room was my loving boyfriend-how could I have forgotten him?-my uncle and my abusive stepmother. Everyone blames me for the tragic car accident that left me near death and my dear brother brain damaged. But what they say can't be true-can it?

I believe the medicine is doing strange things to my memory. I'm unsure who I can trust and who I should run from. And I'm starting to remember things I've never known. Things not about me. I think I'm going crazy.

And even worse, I think they want to kill me.

But who? And for what? Is dying for the truth really better than living with a lie?


Sometimes dying with the truth is better than living with a lie.

After a car accident puts Shauna McAllister in a coma and wipes out six months of her memory, she returns to her childhood home to recover, but her arrival is fraught with confusion.

Her estranged father, a senator bidding on the White House, and her abusive stepmother blame Shauna for the tragedy, which has left her beloved brother severely brain damaged. Leaning on Wayne Spade, a forgotten but hopeful lover who stays by her side, Shauna tries to sort out what happened that night by jarring her memory to life. Instead, she acquires a mysterious mental ability that will either lead her to truth or get her killed by the people trying to hide it.

In this blind game of cat and mouse that stares even the darkest memories in the face, Shauna is sure of only one thing: if she remembers, she dies.

What people are saying about KISS:
“The human brain could actually be the real final frontier—we know so little about it and yet it drives the world as we know it. So when authors like Erin and Ted bravely explore these mysterious regions, going into complex places like memory and soul and relationships, I become hooked. The creativity of this suspenseful story is sure to hook other readers as well. Very memorable!”
~Melody Carlson, author of Finding Alice and The Other Side of Darkness

“Dekker and Healy prove a winning team in this intriguing, imaginative thriller.”
~James Scott Bell, bestselling author of Try Darkness

“Kiss by Erin Healy and Ted Dekker is a superb thriller that hooked me from the first sentence. The original plot kept me guessing, and I may never look at a kiss the same way again. I’ll be watching for the next book!”
~Colleen Coble, author of Cry in the Night

“The writing team of Erin Healy and Ted Dekker has taken me through a page-turner with Kiss. It’s one of those books that you think about when you’re not reading it. I highly recommend it, especially if you don’t mind staying up late because you can’t put the book down!”
~Rene Gutteridge, author of Skid and My Life As a Doormat

Ekspedisi seharian bersama beberapa rakan-rakan anggota kelas telah menjanjikan seribu satu pengalaman dan kenangan yang sukar untuk dikecapi pada masa-masa akan datang.Menghabiskan sisa-sisa hidup sebagai seorang pelajar sebelum bergelar engineer dengan aktiviti hutan amatlah menyeronokkan.Destinasi yang telah dipilih untuk menghilangkan kekusutan otak,dan ketidakpuasan hati terhadap sesiapa adalah menuju ke Pulau Besar Melaka yang terletak di Anjung Batu.

Blog ini bukanlah merupakan promotion blog untuk mempromosikan serba sedikit mengenai Pulau Besar ini.Maklumat lanjut boleh anda perolehi di laman ini.

Tambang untuk feri ke Pulau Besar dari jeti Anjung Batu adalah Rm14 untuk perjalanan dua hala.Feri yang disediakan bertaraf seadanya dimana boleh memuatkan 44 org penumpang pada satu masa dan ia dilengkapi dengan kemudahan jaket keselamatan,So,for those yang tak tahu berenang macam aku ni,adalah tidak menjadi masalah untuk menikmati kegembiraan ini bersama teman-teman dan taulan sekalian.

*feri akan menyelusuri Laut ______ (aku tak pasti apa nama laut tersebut,anda isikan sendiri ya) selama lebih kurang 22 minit dan selama 30 saat diperlukan untuk pemandu tersebut memilih port parking yang baik.

Apabila berada di pulau ini,capture the moment syndrome terjadi tanpa dapat dikawal lagi.Rakan-rakan yang mendambakan wajah mereka dimasukkan ke dalam blog ini,bagi membuktikan mereka pernah sampai di sini,(maybe untuk ditunjukkan kepada ehem2 masing-masing,atau pon kepada anak cucu mereka dalam tempoh 30 tahuin akan datang,jika blog ini masih wujud..hahaha).

  3. Misteri tentang gambar di atas??Itu sebenarnya adalah koleksi foto kenderaan Motosikal pelajar2 UTeM.Sangat bervariasi bukan?Aku yakin,jika tuan punya moto membaca entry aku ini,pasti lobang hidung mereka akan kembang tahap gaban,perut akan secara automatik memboyot ke depan,dan akan save gambar ini dan mungkin akan meletakkan gambar ini dalam mana2 akaun social web mereka.Facebook,frienster,Myspace, atau termasuk dalam paper Sinar Harian edisi terhad mungkin?
  4. Aku baru pulang dari bermain futsal,setelah hampir 2bulan tidak menendang bola.Ternyata memberi impak kepada prestasi permainan sehinggkan hampir dibuang dari court dek kerna membazirkan beberapa peluang.Maklumlah,aku kan striker.Feberet postion tu.Hanya sebutir gol terhasil dari kakiku ini.Itu pon menerusi dead ball dari tengah.
  5. Alasan sebenar aku pancit ketika main ftsal sebentar tadi adalah,aku sudah boyot mungkin..huhu..
Cukup 5 perkara yang terlintas buat masa sekarang ini.Aku mahu tidur yang berkualiti.Mungkin mimpi dikejar dengan makhluk asing akan bertukar dengan mimpi dikejar Lisa Surihani Cik H pula kan..hahah

Ellie Karlson is new to Deep Haven. As the town’s interim fire chief, she is determined to lead the local macho fire crew in spite of their misconceptions about her. But when someone begins setting deadly fires, Ellie faces the biggest challenge of her life. Especially when sparks fly with one of the volunteers on her crew: Pastor Dan Matthews. As Ellie battles to do her job and win the respect of her crew, she finds that there is one fire she can’t fight—the one Dan has set in her heart.
