My Delight in My Beloved: A Single Woman’s Song of Songs
Poetry
Come, you who thirst and you who are searching. Come, and dare to experience what you have believed to be true. There is a love that transforms, a peace that touches our innermost beings, a sweetness that heals. As you read this passionate blend of prayer and scriptural reflection, written in a similar call-and-response format to the Song of Songs, bring your doubts, fears, and wounds before the one who heals. As you listen to the voices of the Woman, the Beloved, and the Daughters of the Kingdom, contemplate your place in the Lord’s heart and among his people. Through the Woman’s journey from “A Troubled Night” to jubilant, victorious love, My Delight in My Beloved invites the reader to start or to continue a personal search for intimate delight in God’s presence. Come, enter in.

Healing Beauty
Poetry
Beauty is a quality that all humans possess by virtue of existence. It must not be trapped in the eye of the beholder because beholders can misunderstand, devalue, and abuse. Distorted understandings of beauty can corrupt a person’s every thought, feeling, and relationship, not to mention the whole of society! Healing Beauty grapples with the meaning of beauty while taking into consideration the world’s many broken views of and responses to it. This book follows one narrative of survival, grief, faith, and love, acknowledging that the answer is not always found within oneself. Healing Beauty is also a challenge to the views of women and of beauty held by individuals, the Christian church, and our society as a whole. It portrays the ugly portions of the healing process, the small victories, and the many thoughts and feelings along the way, inviting the reader to journey with the author.

Amphibious
Fiction
At a dinner party somewhere in Chile, a spunky, hypnotic human weapon steals something she can’t remember from her hosts. She is the Agent, known in that part of the world by the name “Bathsheba.” David Miller the Killer, Bathsheba’s trainer in covert operations at the World Council of Eugenics, discovers that she has made an unauthorized visit to a clinic. He doesn’t know that she is pregnant by him. Since she is registered as Class 3 and he is Class 1, they would both be considered miscegenists under Neo-Eugenic law. Moreover, as a female, she would bear the brunt of the blame. The Agent flees in order to save her own life as well as that of her unborn child. The WCE is a powerful political entity with vast influence and the Killer, their best tracker, is bound to be close on her heels.
As fate or plans would have it, the Agent’s flight brings her into the custody of a man from a covert organization in the States–––Sopient Solutions, Incorporated. This man claims to be her handler and delivers her to an interclass family who claims to be her family of origin. They call her “Valencia.” Hoping to throw the Killer off her scent, the Agent slips into Valencia’s life, which also happens to be exactly what she has been trained to do.
Well aware that DNA masks and double agents have made covert operations trickier than ever before, the staff at Valencia’s home agency strive to determine the Agent’s true identity and mission. Valencia’s family and friends display the heights of loving commitment as they seek to facilitate her psychological recovery from the effects of her years-long disappearance. The Agent herself struggles with the pressures of her double life, the trauma of her past, and her fears about the future. The Killer is hunting her, and it is only a matter of time before he finds her. The question is whether she can become the person that she needs to be in order to break free from him and the WCE.

I Bought a Pearl
Poetry
God’s gift to God’s beloved is God’s own self, a gift incomparably more valuable than any worldly good. Even so, walking with God does not shield us from tragedy and the pain of heartache. Sometimes, it seems to attract these things. And yet, for many Christians, our relationship with God through Christ is our most precious possession. I Bought a Pearl is a collection of poetry that prayerfully examines the great value––as well as some of the great cost––of this treasure.
