About the Book

Book: Underestimated

Author: Sherri Wilson Johnson

Genre: Romantic Suspense/Mystery

Release Date: December 9, 2025

Liam Holcomb is a no-nonsense forensic accountant, not a farmer—but when his grandfather dies under suspicious circumstances, Liam returns to the Anything Goats farm near Nashville to investigate. What he finds buried in old records suggests the death wasn’t an accident—and someone wanted the land badly enough to kill for it.

Wren Meadows, a free-spirited goat yoga instructor and single mom, is busy planning the church’s Christmas celebration at the farm when her daughters witness something they shouldn’t have. Now, threats are closing in, and Liam may be the only one who can protect them.

He’s serious, guarded, and sworn off relationships. She’s sunshine, spontaneity, and a walking invitation to chaos. But as danger deepens and sparks fly, Liam and Wren may discover that opposites don’t just attract—they just might save each other.

A cozy but gripping Christian romantic suspense full of heart, humor, and holiday hope.

About the Author

Sherri Wilson Johnson writes romantic suspense from her home in Georgia where she lives with her husband, their two dogs and spoiled Bombay cat. Sherri loves spending time with family, vacationing at the beach, reading or working on her current work-in-progress. She dreams of a second home on some beach somewhere some day, where she can plot romantically suspenseful novels around the clock.

More from Sherri

In Underestimated, Liam Holcomb cooks his grandmother’s Beef Hash recipe. This is actually one of my mom’s recipes that I cook quite often. She passed away in 1993, and cooking her Beef Hash always brings fond memories to my mind. So I’ll share the recipe with you now. Keep in mind that just like Liam’s grandmother, I use lots of garlic salt. I sample along the way until I get just the right amount of seasoning. You may want to use more or less, depending on your preference.

But here are the basics:

Ingredients:

2 lbs lean ground beef

6-8 yellow potatoes (or 4 large Idaho potatoes) cut into cubes

½ cup finely chopped onions or dried minced onions

2-3 large cut carrots (or a ½ to ¾ bag of frozen cut carrots)

Black pepper to taste

Garlic powder and onion powder to taste

Lawry’s Coarse Ground with Parsley Garlic Salt (This is the secret sauce—use as much as you want to get that good savory flavor to your liking.) (I probably use ¼ cup for a large batch, but I’m not 100% sure, honestly. I always eyeball it and then taste it once it’s done.)

Instructions:

Season the ground beef with the garlic salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Brown, drain and rinse.

Cut the potatoes into cubes and slice the carrots into circles about ½ inch thick. Boil until tender (you can use an Instantpot or pressure cooker). You can add salt to the water, but I usually don’t because I don’t want to overdo the salt. I save the saltiness for the garlic salt.

After the potatoes and carrots are tender, scoop them into a pot with the ground beef and add the potato water as the broth. You can add as much as you like depending on how much broth you like.

Bring everything to a boil, smashing some of the potatoes until the broth thickens.

Toast hamburger buns until crispy then pour the Beef Hash on top and gobble it up.

Serve with a side salad.

Interview with the Author

• Which character did you connect to best in this book?
  Liam, the hero. He’s super detail-oriented and won’t stop until he finds the answers he’s looking for.

• Which part of the book was the most difficult to write?
  Honestly, the last half of it! I sailed along pretty good until life and my full-time job put up so many obstacles that I thought I never would finish the story. But once things settled down a bit and I got back into the story, the words flowed.

• What inspired this book?
  A trip to Nashville. I saw so many businessmen and businesswomen in suits that I was inspired to write something set in the city. At least that was the goal when I started and when I wrote the prequel to this series. But this book ended up being set at the grandfather’s farm the whole time!

• Which author influenced the you most?
  On a personal level, it would be Sandra Robbins, who used to write for Love Inspired Suspense before she went home to be with the Lord. She was a mentor and great friend and always had an encouraging word for me.

• What is your favorite Bible verse or life verse?
  John 14:1-3

About the Book

Book: Maxine Justice: Public Offender

Author: Daniel Schwabauer

Genre: Science Fiction

Release Date: November 4, 2025

The case she didn’t need. The client she didn’t want. The trial she couldn’t win.

Fresh off her single-handed defense against alien adversaries in a galactic courtroom, Maxine Justice discovers that saving the Earth is not enough to earn a hero’s welcome back home. Once again broke and now looking for revenge, her return to night court as a public defender takes an immediate detour when she’s tasked with defending a Therapod murder suspect.

The case drags her into the quirky theories of her new client, Father Gilbert Barthes, and the corrupt underbelly of corporate robotics. As her defense takes on global significance, Maxine lands squarely in the crosshairs of new enemies determined to conceal their plans for acquiring the planet. Worse, her probably guilty client may be the only one who can expose what’s really happening.

Stripped of all credibility and most of her friends, can Maxine find some way to save humanity when the world is bent on self-destruction? Or will Earth finally succumb to the most unlikely deception?

More from Daniel

I tend to get three questions from people who only know me from the Night Court Channel or watching my defense of planet Earth on the global broadcast that made me famous. To the first, no, I haven’t seen a penny of the money I’m owed because the feds froze ALL of my bank accounts, even my personal savings. Second, traveling in a space-egg with a pastoroid was not as terrifying as it sounds—except that I had no way to escape Counselor Singh’s dad jokes. And third, no, even though my cat is still missing, I do not want one of your kittens, thank you very much.

Maxine Justice, LLC is your only source for first-hand legal advice pertaining to extraterrestrial medical malpractice, predatory off-world time-sharing contracts, and “surprise implants” experiences at the Coliseum.

We’re also the only law firm committed to exposing what’s really happening in the world of artificial humans.

Ever wondered how Counselor Singh could be targeted on the steps of the UN building during a heavily-covered press conference, yet six months later law enforcement still claims they have no idea who the shooter was? Doesn’t it seem odd that they turned the forensic evidence over to Singh’s manufacturer instead of using a neutral third party?

If I were an artificial person, I’d be screaming these questions from the rooftop. Yet we haven’t heard a peep from that community since it happened.

That’s not some wild conspiracy. That’s fear.

Which is where I come in.

If you’re a TheraPod concerned about your future in a world spiraling out of control— if you’re a pastoroid, a rabbot, a podre, an e-mam, a surgicon EZ Doc, or any other model of artificial person and you face a legal dilemma involving your own termination and/or the fate of biological humans, give me a call.

If you’re a regular human and you’ve been railroaded by York City’s legal system, targeted by ruthless corporate bullies, or victimized by inhuman—and I do mean not-at-all-human—business practices, talk to me.

I’m not in it for the money.

I don’t have any!

I’m in it for my name—for Justice.

And I promise you this: I won’t smile until you do.

Interview with the Author

1)Which character did you connect to best in this book?

Father Barthes surprised me when he appeared in my imagination as the obvious suspect in the story’s opening chapter. I didn’t understand him at first, and as the book unfolded and I learned more about his personality I found myself wishing I could talk to him. He isn’t much like me, and that’s a great thing in a character.

2)Which part of the book was the most difficult to write?

Unlike the first Maxine Justice novel, I wrote this one with very little idea how it would turn out. I normally rely heavily on outlining, and though I did have a rough sketch of this book I knew from the beginning that my sketch would never work. So I decided to follow Maxine’s lead and let her take me where she wanted to go. When she got on the elevator and started pressing buttons I honestly did not know what she was going to uncover.

3)What is your favorite Bible verse or life verse?

“For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.” (Mark 4:22) I love this because it directly contradicts our Western tradition of Enlightenment Rationalism. We expect clarity from God, and instead he offers Mystery and Meaning.

4)What are you reading right now?

Besides Comp II essays, I’m reading C.G. Jung’s Man and His Symbols and Homer’s The Odyssey in several different English translation. Both of these are related to a project I’m currently working on, though the latter is fascinating all by itself. Emily Wilson’s translations of Homer are a wonderful contrast to the more traditional versions because she doesn’t try to maintain the original Greek meter but adapts language more natural to English.

5)Describe your view as you’re sitting in your writing chair.

My basement office has transformed over the past twenty-six years into a place of refuge. It is not a huge space; I’m tucked into a square 11’x11’ corner that started as bare concrete without even electricity. Gradually it accumulated sheetrock, pocket doors, bookshelves on three sides, and a sit/stand corner desk with a massive curved monitor and studio speakers. I generally have a cup of coffee at my right hand and an action figure of Charles Dickens peering down at me with a look of disappointment.

More from Carolyn

I was inspired to write this story after a visit to Bar Harbor, Maine. I loved exploring the rocky coast and hiking trails, and I was fascinated by the mix of grand Victorian mansions and charming cottages. The view from the summit was unforgettable—we caught an incredible sunrise there and even joined an outdoor church service. The whole experience left me both refreshed and inspired, and it became the spark behind this story.

Interview with the Author

1)What does success as an author look like to you?

Success to me is completing a scene, a chapter, a book, then going back to reread it and being happy with what I wrote. It may take several drafts and involve some struggles, but when my writing project is finally completed, it gives me satisfaction to know I reached my goals. Having positive comments from my readers especially helps me feel that I succeeded in my writing.

2)What inspired this book?

Many experiences I have had inspired me to write this book. A trip to Bar Harbor, Maine inspired the setting of a New England rocky coastline, hiking trails, and mountain peaks.The themes of overcoming fear, not allowing resentments rule over you, not giving up, and coming to faith in the Lord are all from life experiences. Family love, romantic love, and friendships also inspired me to write this story.

3)What is your favorite Bible verse or life verse?

I have many favorite Bible verses and love to incorporate scriptures in my prayers. The verse from 2 Timothy “He has not given me the spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind” encourages me to overcome fear with God’s help. “I will not leave you or forsake you” lets me know He is always with me.

4)What are you reading right now?

I am reading Voices from the Sanitorium by Amy Lynn

Walsh. It’s a fascinating historical fiction book about a hospital for TB patients in the early 1900s. The characters, plot, and setting hold my attention, often keeping me up late at night, which is what a great fiction book should do.

5)Describe your view as you’re sitting in your writing chair.

I am sitting in my home office at my desk. Next to my desk on my filing cabinet is an antique Royal typewriter from 1935 similar to the one my father used as a young journalism student. I also have an antique black phone from the same time period. They are both a nice time contrast to the modern computer and cell phone on my desk. On my wall, I have a black and white print by the artist Escher, a master of optical illusions.

About the Book

Book: Gathered from the North

Author: Barbara A. Curtis

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: November 18, 2025

He survived the war, but he didn’t come home whole. Hope of a ready-made family promises healing—until he learns the truth about his love’s adopted baby.

Beth Calloway has always longed for a family, but after a childhood marked by loss, she’s learned to live quietly—typing reports at the Boise Foundling Home and keeping her heart carefully tucked away. Until one snowy night, a baby is left on her doorstep. With no room at the orphanage and no one else to help, she takes the risk…never expecting the handsome wounded soldier next door to take notice.

Recently discharged from the army, Private Timothy McPhearson is a man on a mission. Haunted by his best friend’s death during WWII, he’s determined to uncover the truth—and escape the guilt that won’t let him go. Falling for his grandmother’s quiet tenant and the baby she’s sheltering isn’t part of the plan…but Beth and little Elly Rose begin to chip away at the walls he’s built.

Just as the three begin to imagine life as a family, a shattering revelation threatens to tear them apart. When the truth about baby Elly Rose comes to light—and danger closes in—Beth must fight to protect the child she’s come to love…even if it means letting go of the man who’s claimed her heart.

A heart-tugging postwar romance of second chances, found family, and love worth risking everything for.

Guest Review from Marilyn

Blooms of the Bitterbrush continues with Elizabeth (Beth) Calloway during 1945 as she is working in Boise after leaving the ranch. She was quiet and enjoyed her job but knew children would not be in life even though she saw babies daily at the Foundling Home. An unexpected basket changed her world one winter evening, along with other interesting events happening soon afterwards. Mrs. McPhearson grandson Timothy had returned from the service with outward and inner struggles. Beth was polite to welcome him and kind with the history of her parents with Mrs. McPhearson.

 

The interaction between Beth, Timothy and little Elly along with mysterious events happening kept the story flowing easily. Curtis created a well researched historical fiction with information on POW’s serving around the USA along with issues of prejudice toward Germans, faith, forgiveness, and discovering things weren’t always what one might believe.

 

I received an early copy of this book from the publisher Wild Heart Books for a book tour. I have shared my own thoughts. I look forward to the conclusion in this series as the bitterbrush meant God’s faithfulness to all generations as Curtis has shown beautifully for each generation.

About the Author

Barbara A. Curtis lives in Connecticut with her husband, and they have one grown son, a blessing to their hearts. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Novel Academy.

 

 

 

 

More from Barbara

In Gathered from the North, Mrs. McPhearson’s first step in solving a problem is to sit down with a cup of tea. During the same year of 1945, another tea drinker in real life—Ruth Campbell Bigelow—was enjoying tea in her New York brownstone and experimenting with finding a flavorful blend using black tea, orange rind, and sweet spices. When she hit upon the final recipe, Constant Comment was born, along with the Bigelow Tea Company.

While flavored teas are easy to find in grocery stores, tea shops, and online now, we can be grateful for Ruth Campbell Bigelow’s days of experimentation in her own kitchen, as Constant Comment was the first specialty tea in the United States. And where did the name come from? When she shared her new tea with others, one reported that this tea “caused nothing but constant comments.”

I hope you enjoy Gathered from the North—perhaps over a cup of tea, specialty blend or otherwise.

Blessings!

Barbara

More from Karen

I once attended a small church that had several young rowdy boys. I wondered if there was a way to settle them down by doing something fun after church that also had spiritual significance. I decided to bribe them. If they memorized the verse I gave them from the Psalms, I would give them a treat. It seemed a good idea at the time.

The first week we talked about how God is the one who cares for us and meets our needs. I taught them Psalm 81:10: “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” I pulled out a stick of gum and told them if they could quote this verse with the reference the following Sunday after church, I would give them the gum. The idea was to continue this until they had a few verses under their belt. There was a lot of jumping up and down and hand clapping though I wondered how many would follow through.

The next Sunday after church, four little boys ran up to me. “I know the verse,” one little guy said. He recited it as his compadres listened, then opened his mouth wide and waited for me to unwrap the gum and put it in his mouth. (With this group, you didn’t dare give it to them. You just hoped they wouldn’t stick it under a church pew before their parents got them outside.) One after another they came, chirping out the verse. I soon realized some hadn’t memorized it. Because the verse was short, they were just repeating what the first boy said. Oh well. It counted. I fed them like little birds though the moment felt sacred, somehow, as if I were serving communion.

The next week, they learned Psalm 34:8: “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” That week, I gave them mints. But when I started perusing the Psalms for other appropriate verses, I realized I’d worked myself into a corner. The Bible has a lot of verses about food but not many are in Psalms. It was slim pickings. I considered:

Psalm 119:103 “”How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” I couldn’t very well squirt honey into their mouths, and I didn’t think the parents or the pastor would appreciate having four active little boys running around the sanctuary with sticky piece of honeycomb in their hands.

Psalm 141:4 wasn’t going to work either. This verse is about the wicked. It says, “And do not let me eat of their delicacies.” In this context, any treat I brought would be a temptation. Not a good idea.

Psalm 23 looked like my best hope: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” In the end, I decided against it too. What was I going to do, bring a whole meal? And set up all the onlookers as “enemies?” Also not good.

So three weeks into my ill-conceived Scripture memorization plan, the best I could come up with was Psalm 145:15 “The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.”

The proper time, sadly, no longer included my after-church Bible memory program. I tried to let the boys down gently. (From this I learned to set an end-time for such initiatives. Better yet, have a plan before starting them!) Still, whenever I come across the verses they learned, I think about those boys. I see their little upturned faces, eyes closed, mouths open, waiting expectantly and wonder if they remember too. Do they remember that God is our provider? That He is good? That He delights in meeting their needs? If so, my little failed experiment was worth it.

Interview with the Author

1. What does success as an author look like to you?

Being faithful to complete the work God has given me to do. Writing well. It would be nice to have my work recognized by the writing community and public but if not, knowing I’ve done what I felt God called and designed me to do is enough.

2. Which chapter (part) of the book was the most difficult to write?

Psalm 88. It is the only Psalm that ends in despair.  All the other laments contain sorrow, frustration, pain, but express hope that God will come through. But Psalm 88 ends, “You have taken from me friend and neighbor— darkness is my closest friend” (v. 18). One goal I have as I write about each chapter of the Bible is to always point my reader to the Lord. This was tough to do in this case. I had to keep searching for God’s purpose in not leaving us with hope. It was an uncomfortable path but eventually, I believe God gave me insight.

3. What inspired this book?

My first real encounter with Psalms occurred while I was in 7^th grade. I’d just moved to a new school. Started Junior High. I felt awkward, alone, and heartbroken. These early teen years are difficult for anyone but being thrust into a new environment with no friends and no place of belonging crushed me. I would come home each day fighting tears and turn to the Psalms. I read of others who were suffering yet found comfort in the Lord. Each Psalm dared me to trust God, to expect He could get me through loneliness and hopelessness. I began to find comfort in His arms. I write so others will know He is there. He is real. He cares. And He will help.

4. Which author influenced the you most?

I have different favorites for each genre. For spiritual direction I turn to Henri Nouwen and N.T. Wright.

5. What is your vacation spot?

I am a homebody through and through and seldom go on vacation. However, last year I traveled to Italy with my brother. We were there for a month. It was awesome—Positano, Sestre Levante, Orvieto—but none of the places could compare to my precious home and community in Dana Point, California.

Now this Montana rancher must train for his role as the next Duke of Clarence—and marry the mail-order bride his brother sent for. Hardened by loss, Enoch has no intention of opening his heart to a stranger, but duty demands he produce an heir.

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a royal family saga featuring a mail-order bride, amnesia, a secret baby, and an aristocratic marriage of convenience…all set in the rugged Montana Territory.

Guest Review from Marilyn

Mail Order Duchess is a beautiful start to Beller’s new series Lords of the Rockies. Enoch’s faith was shaken with the loss of his older sibling and what it meant for him back in England. He loved the life his mother and brothers created in Montana but his father’s reply was marry and return to England. Mandie traveling across country to answer the request as a mail-order bride to escape an abusive situation, resulted with an accident and suffering. However, the Balfour and Mrs. Wang were kindhearted, caring and sharing faith gently. Will Mandie and Enoch be able to put their past aside when trouble arrived at the ranch?

 

Beller penned a dimensional story from the events, characters that were realistic, to the challenges faced and finding the faith needed to stand strong. I received an early copy of this book from Wild Heart Books and Celebrate Lit Bloggers tour. I have expressed my own thoughts.

Hello Reader Friends!

I’m BEYOND excited to share a brand new series with you! This idea has been percolating in my mind for a couple years now—a mash-up of two of my favorite historical romance genres: Regency England and the rugged American West.

In the Lords of the Rockies series, you’ll meet the five sons of an English duke who were sent to the wilds of the Montana Territory for their protection when they were boys. They’ve grown up there, become ranchers and mountain men in their own right.

It’s Regency meets the Rockies as these aristocratic brothers navigate the challenges of ranch life.

I’m especially excited to introduce you to the first book in the series, Mail-Order Duchess!

Enoch Balfour is one of my all-time favorite heroes…so incredibly swoony. He’s the second son, which means he never thought he would have to return to England and take over his father’s role as the Duke of Clarence. But now his eldest brother has passed in an unexpected riding accident. And Enoch has become the heir intended.

Can you imagine how hard that must have been? Suddenly having to leave the only life you’ve ever known to take up the duties of a title an ocean away?

And then there’s Mandie Beaumont, a young widow hoping for a fresh start in Montana. But when she arrives, an accident steals her recent memories, leaving her with no idea why she left her comfortable life in Savannah to travel across the country and marry a rancher she’s never met. Or maybe her previous life wasn’t so comfortable…

Can you imagine waking up one day to find yourself in a strange place with no recollection of how you got there or what you were running from?

I don’t want to give away too much, but let’s just say Mail-Order Duchess has all the ingredients for a story you won’t be able to put down—a marriage of convenience, hidden secrets, and an unlikely romance blossoming in the face of incredible odds. I’m so excited to share this story with you!

I’ve had such fun crafting the unique premise of an English aristocratic family making their way in the American West. Get ready for more heartfelt Western adventures tinged with Regency flair as the Lords of the Rockies series continues!

I pray you love Mail-Order Duchess!

Blessings!

Misty

About the Book

Book: The Goodness of Unicorns

Author: Kayla E. Green

Genre: YA Noblebright Fantasy

Release Date: October 21, 2025

One girl determined to heal her sister and another looking for purpose in a nation on the brink of war. And unicorns—with a twist you’ve never seen before.

It’s Rowan Tritonia’s sixteenth Naming Anniversary. Her plans for the day never included a headache that causes her to almost faint on a day meant for celebration. When the world comes back into focus, her brown eyes have changed to magenta. But what scares her more is that everything around her is now black and white coupled with a mysterious ability to see the light and shadows in a person’s soul. Then a local cleric implies that Rowan could have the power of Sight, a gift which has only been seen in the stories of unicorns in the Book of Verimor, an ancient text. Rowan is perplexed. Why would Verimor give her something she never asked for instead of answering her greatest prayer to help her younger sister, Blythe?

News of the girl with Sight quickly travels beyond Rowan’s local village. When the King of Wisteria learns of her gift from a letter, he summons her to the castle. With growing political tensions from neighboring nations, Rowan may be able to provide the aid they desperately need. Linnea, the king’s sister and his primary advisor, prays that Rowan has truly been blessed by a unicorn and can save the nation and its people from encroaching darkness.

Meanwhile, back at home, Blythe, sets out on her own journey. She feels helpless, tied down by the pain that keeps her homebound most of the time. Although she wears a smile to comfort those around her—especially her family—Blythe wonders if her life will ever amount to anything more than fading into the background. Is she truly too broken for any greater purpose, or can Verimor still use her?

 

Excerpt from the Book

Prologue

The Almost Queen

“WHAT IF I TRIP OR fall—or worse?” asked the young servant girl as her eyes widened. “What if I spill water on Sir Elias, and he arrests me?”

“Sir Elias is a loud, boisterous man, but he’s sensible,” Linnea offered while holding back a smile for fear the girl would think she was mocking her. “He won’t arrest a maiden for a simple accident.” She placed a gentle hand on the thin girl’s shoulder. “Nora, you are sweet and trustworthy. It’s an honor to be the cupbearer of the king.”

Nora’s face blanched. “Maybe Mrs. Ginty should send someone else.”

“Do you see this plant, Nora?” Linnea softly touched the orange-tinged green leaves of an herb with bell-shaped purple petals. The tall, flowering plant nearly reached her waist. “This is a Medirorum Mundatium, better known as the Healing Bell.”

Nora fidgeted with the frayed edges of her apron. “Forgive me, milady, but I don’t know a lot about flowers.”

Lines crinkled at the outer corners of Linnea’s eyes as she swept an arm around the room lit only by candlelight.

More from Sara

Ever since childhood, I’ve loved to travel. Memories of family cross-country car trips still make me smile. Breakfast and lunch prepped from goodies chilled in the ice chest. Kellogg’s single-serve cereals or cake doughnuts with milk and juice. (Rare treats in our household.) A sandwich prepared at a roadside picnic table for lunch. As an adult, their lack of nutrition makes me shudder.

These days, my tastes have grown more sophisticated. Scrumptious buffet breakfasts in European or Asian hotels make my mouth water. Local dishes creep into my books. And no trip to Antwerp, Belgium is complete without a serious stop at a delectable chocolate shop. Naturally, for the reader’s sake, Sampling these treats for authenticity in the novel is a must, right?

While tempting the palate with sumptuous Viennese pastries at Heiner’s, my favorite Konditorei (pastry shop), Vengeance in Vienna whisks readers through the stunning Austrian countryside with assassins at Jacob and Riley’s backs, and a terrorist financier determined to destroy them. Dehmel’s is another Konditorei readers might want to visit. Both Konditoreien are steeped in history, atmosphere, and Old-World charm. Are you salivating yet?

Better yet, grab a copy of Vengeance in Vienna and curl up for a nail-biting armchair trip to beautiful Austria filled with heart-pounding romantic suspense.

Interview with the Author

Which part of the book was the most difficult to write?

Definitely Riley’s abduction. That portion of the book was emotionally taxing as one must climb into the character’s skin and feel everything they are experiencing.

What inspired this book?

Vengeance in Vienna was inspired by a trip to Vienna, six years ago, where I met a local intercessor. She mentioned the horrendous situation endured by young women and girls who’d been kidnapped, lured, or forced into prostitution. Some of whom wanted only a work permit for honorable employment. One brave young woman told her they were bussed to a different location every night for billeting. The situation incensed me, and I felt led to craft this story to exposes the situation.

What is your favorite Bible verse or life verse?

The power of Psalm 91 has long been key in my life. If I must narrow my answer to a single verse, I would say Ps 91:11, in the Amplified Classic edition: For He will give His angels especial charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways of service and obedience. I could share numerous instances God’s angels have brought me through life-threatening situations and protected me from grave bodily harm and death.

 

What is your vacation spot?

Hmm … That’s a tough one. I love places with beautiful water and stunning mountains.

Describe your view as you’re sitting in your writing chair. 

At the moment, I am answering these questions while seated at a headboard desk in a hotel room overseas. I have a view of gray drapes, a TV I haven’t turned on, white walls and lovely wood flooring. The accommodations have been such a blessing and make me want to stay here much longer!

About the Book

Book: Sons of Day & Night

Author: Mariposa Aristeo

Genre: YA Fantasy – Retelling of The Prince and the Pauper

Release Date: November 18, 2025

Not even death can tell them apart.

In the wild and lush kingdom of Twinsbane, everyone has a look-alike, and each twin is cursed to die when their double breathes their last. When an ancient plague arises, the kingdom’s only hope is to sever these deadly ties. Yet King Daccias refuses to relinquish the cure, a legendary potion called the Separator.

Waruu, an orphan determined to break these ties, discovers he’s the king’s doppelgänger. He’s certain that if he can switch places, he can save the kingdom. But if anyone learns his true identity, he’ll lose everything—including the people he’s desperately trying to protect.

King Daccias wants nothing more than for his subjects to cease threatening to behead him if he doesn’t hand over the Separator. Intent on catching those opposing him, he finds himself ensnared in his own trap. If he doesn’t break loose, the kingdom will rest in the hands of an insolent boy who knows nothing about the truth behind the events unfolding around him.

To save their kingdom, both Waruu and Daccias must face their greatest enemy—each other.

More from Mariposa

How could I refuse to write a retelling of The Prince & the Pauper?

(Kudos to all the zillennial girls who get that reference.)

Ever since I watched the Barbie rendition of this classic tale when I was just a little girl, this story has been on my heart. As I grew older, other more adventurous tales influenced me, such as Dreamwork’s How to Train Your Dragon, Jennifer Nielsen’s The False Prince, Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, and more recently, Star Wars’ The Bad Batch.

But no matter the story, one aspect stayed the same—finding people just like me in the unlikeliest of places.

Growing up, I had a different childhood than most. I was pretty isolated with little to no friends, and not much extended family. It wasn’t until my twenties that I met the people who would later become my true family. They weren’t blood relations, and we didn’t interact in person until years later (yay for internet friends!). We are different in all the best ways but the same in the ways that matter and weird in the way that makes life interesting.

The Prince & the Pauper is a story about many things. Empathy, compassion, and learning what it’s like to live in another person’s shoes. When I set out to write Sons of Day & Night, I wanted to pay homage to this underrated tale while deepening the bond between the two very different (but also very alike) heroes. It’s not just a story about switched identities, it’s a story about the family we find even when our world is falling apart.

When my mom passed away from cancer in 2022, I felt like my world truly was falling to pieces. Besides losing a parent, I also lost what little I had of a normal family. But my found family came together to be there for me and be the family I never had.

We don’t share the same genetics, but they are every bit as much my brothers and sisters. As Stitch once said, “This is my family. I found it all on my own.”

Fast forward a few years, and I now live within 60 miles of my found family and see them almost every week. It’s funny to think how a few internet strangers became such a huge part of my life, but sometimes God sends us family in the places we least expect it.

And my hope is that Sons of Day & Night will remind you that there’s always someone out there just like you.

Interview with the Author

1)What inspired this book?

The Princess and the Pauper captivated me as a little girl and I quickly grew to love the trope of switched identities. But as much as I loved the Barbie remake, I wanted to see a version of the story with more adventure and fun and written for boys like the original tale. So I began tinkering with the idea of a Prince and the Pauper reimagining, and I asked myself: What if everyone in the world had a double? And thus this story was born. Jennifer Nielsen’s The False Prince also greatly inspired me to write my own snarky adventure for boys.

2)Which author influenced you the most?

Sara Ella has had a huge impact on my writing life. Besides loving her whimsical fairytale retellings, she’s also my dear friend and writing mentor. Her encouragement and wisdom gave me the courage to pitch my story to my dream publisher at a writer’s conference, which eventually led to a 2-book contract.

3)What is your vacation spot?

Disney World all the way! It’s my magical home away from home. I’ve been going there since I was three years old and I’m unapologetically a Disney adult who loves Dole whips and Loungefly way too much. (Fun fact: My favorite park is Animal Kingdom.)

4)What are you reading right now?

I’m currently reading Glass Across the Sea by Sara Ella (one of my favorite authors!) and Wondla by Tony DiTerlizzi.

5)If you could have one book or piece of art or music on a deserted island, what would it be and why?

This question is so hard! How can I pick just one? Maybe the song “Exhale” by Matthew Parker because it reminds me to never give up and that the dreams God has given us matter.

About the Book

Book: My Maker and Me

Author: Pat Domangue

Genre: Christian Living/Bible Study

A six-week guided Bible study based on Isaiah 64:8, My Maker & Me helps Christian women discover God as their potter and understand His continual presence in their lives.

Through the unique perspective of viewing God and themselves through Scripture and the art of pottery, Christian women will learn how God intimately works to shape them into the beautiful vessels He created them to become, much like a potter shapes clay.

Many Christian women struggle with trusting God because they don’t know Him from the intimate perspective of their potter. My Maker & Me helps women grow in understanding God’s love and care for them especially when they face difficult seasons or walk through fiery trials. As their trust grows, they will also find security, purpose, and meaning even in the most difficult seasons of life. If they are struggling with who they are and discovering their purpose, they will gain a greater sense of their true identity and purpose, setting them up to embrace God’s plan for their life. Women committed to completing this six-week study will experience spiritual growth and personal transformation.

 

Q&A

1) Why did you want to write a Bible study based on the art of pottery?

That’s really a three-part answer.

First, I write Bible studies because Jesus changed the trajectory of my life through studying His Word. Not only did I fall in love with Jesus and Scripture, but God also ignited an unquenchable fire in my heart to help spark that same passion in other women. Since God’s calling into women’s ministry over twenty years ago, I’ve met many Christian women who struggle to trust God simply because they don’t know Him from the intimate perspective of Him as their Potter.

Second, my heart was deeply stirred the first time I watched a pottery demonstration and heard the potter’s testimony of how God revealed Himself through the art and process of shaping clay. I saw the beauty of God’s intimate work with His creation—how He values each vessel and remains lovingly involved in every detail. Within days, I found myself in that potter’s class, eager to experience God in the same way.

The potter guided us through every stage of creating pottery. As I prayed through each stage, I began to see Scripture reflected in the process. Just as the potter shapes the clay, God shapes us—molding us through pressure, waiting, and refining seasons.

Finally, I knew this revelation was too precious to keep to myself. I wanted other women to know and trust God as their personal Potter—present, loving, and intentional as He forms them into His beautiful vessels.
