Jenkins, best known for the Left Behind Series, refers to his 2008 novel Riven as “my life’s work.” Unlike any of his other 175 books, Riven is the dramatic story of a career criminal and a washed up pastor who cross paths on death row. Tyndale House Publishers is making Riven available as a free ebook download on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com until March 31.<br /><br /> With its title taken from the original lyrics of the old hymn “Rock of Ages,” Riven portrays the lives of Brady Darby, a no-account criminal under a death sentence and Thomas Carey, a weary man of God working as a prison chaplain, and how death, guilt and despair are unfathomably trumped by rebirth, forgiveness and hope.<br /><br /> Charles Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship says about Riven, “Thoroughly moving, Riven leaves an indelible impression on the reader. Its characters and message stay with you long after the final chapter. For me, it is also a deeply personal reminder of why God called me to prison ministry so many years ago.”<br /><br /> “We felt Riven is a special book and we wanted to bring it to readers attention again through this free special offer,” say Cheryl Kerwin, Tyndale senior marketing manager.<br /><br /> Tyndale’s Senior Vice President and Publisher Ron Beers calls Jenkins one of the most entertaining novelists of our day. “This book is special for two reasons,” he says. “Its message of grace is powerful and profound—this is the kind of book that you will want to pass on to others. Also, this is the book Jerry says he waited 20 years to write. His passion for this book clearly shines through in every page.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ABOUT THE AUTHOR</span><br /><br /> Jerry B. Jenkins is the leading evangelical novelist. He has authored more than 170 books, including more than 20 New York Times bestsellers. His Left Behind Series, co-authored with Tim LaHaye, sold more than 65 million copies with seven titles ranking #1 on the bestseller lists for The New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and Christian Booksellers Association.<br /><br /> To download a free copy of Riven until March 31, go to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017SYOEM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=titletrakkcom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0017SYOEM">amazon.com’s Kindle store</a> or barnesandnoble.com’s <a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000000035245732&pubid=21000000000217645">Nookbook page</a>.

Jenkins, owner of the Christian Writers Guild headquartered in Colorado Springs, has announced the acquisition of Word Weavers, a Florida-based organization of local writing critique groups with chapters in three states.<br /><br /> "The leadership of Word Weavers has developed a great model for local chapters, " Jenkins says, "and they've agreed to stay on to help us create a nationwide network of such groups. "<br /><br /> The Christian Writers Guild trains writers through email courses, contests, conferences, and critiques. "Plugging our members and students in to peer groups has been an ingredient we've long dreamed of adding to the mix," Jenkins says. "The acquisition of Word Weavers gives us a ready-made platform to do just that. "<br /><br /> Larry Leech, president of Word Weavers, says, "Vice-presidents Eva Marie Everson and Cheri Cowell and I are excited about joining the Christian Writers Guild team. Like the Guild, Word Weavers is dedicated to developing writers. Becoming part of CWG significantly expands opportunities and benefits for current and future Word Weavers members. We're grateful for the opportunity to help the Guild coach and encourage aspiring writers.

The occasion is the “wedding of the century” at a local estate, and Andi has a five-day, live-in gig transporting the wedding party and Hollywood guests. There’s the groom with cell phone welded to his ear. The bride who suspects she will be murdered at the ceremony. The over-the-hill, movie star stepmother with an ambitious agenda of her own, plus blackmail, betrayal, along with enough hot hostility and competition to melt that life-sized sculpture of the bride and groom. And murder!<br /><br />Along with chasing down a killer, Andi is figuring out her relationship with God and testing the limits of her aging anatomy with a skateboard. Plus the complication of her relationship with Keegan “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, the guy who is living proof that some men really do age like fine wine.<br /><br />Like most killers, this one objects to being brought to justice.

Forgetting it once had a truer lover.<br /><br />With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds.<br /><br />Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction.

I'm delighted to be part of a great and growing team."<br /><br />Kathy is also known for her Star Wars novels, most notably The Truce at Bakura. The popularity of her treatment of the Star Wars storyline led to her contributing to several Star Wars short story collections including Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, Tales from Jabba's Palace, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, and Tales from The Empire.<br /><br />And she's not done, folks.

The announcement of the INSPY awards coordinated with the launch of the INSPYs website, <a href="http://inspys.com">http://inspys.com</a>.<br /><br />The innovative award is designed to help readers in their search for the preeminent faith-inspired literature of today. The INSPYs were created to select and showcase books with the highest literary standards that grapple with the Christian faith. To find these works, the INSPYs net is cast wide, accepting nominations of books aimed at the Christian bookstore market as well as those from the general market.<br /><br />The INSPYs are the brainchild of Amy Riley, of My Friend Amy, creator of Book Blogger Appreciation Week. "We feel nothing compares to excellent faith-driven fiction, but it can be difficult to weed through the multitude of books published each year in both the Christian marketplace and the general market to find the best ones," Riley said.<br /><br />Another factor that sets the INSPY awards apart is that it's organized and will be judged by bloggers with considerable experience and knowledge of books published in both the general market and the CBA market.<br /><br />Award organizers are seeking book nominations in the following genres: Historical Fiction; Amish Fiction; Thriller, Suspense, Crime Fiction; General and Literary Fiction; Romance and Romantic Suspense; Speculative Fiction; Creative nonfiction; and Young Adult Fiction. The deadline to nominate a book is July 31.<br /><br />In addition to book nominations, judges for each genre are also being sought this month.<br /><br /><br />Another way to help is to spread the word — blog about the INSPYs, tell your friends.<br /><br />The winners of the first-ever INSPY awards will be announced December 13.<br /><br />The advisory committee consists of Amy Riley of My Friend Amy, Carrie Kitzmiller of Books and Movies, Deborah of Books, Movies & Chinese Food, Hannah Nielsen of Word Lily, and Rel Mollet of Relz Reviewz.<br /><br />To stay informed, subscribe to the site: <a href="http://www.Inspys.com">Inspys.com</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Contact: </span><br /><br />Hannah Nielsen, wordlily@gmail.com OR: inspyawards@gmail.comTitleTrakk.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17652796951741646422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828253730520748491.post-2534956902538127422010-06-29T07:19:00.000-07:002010-06-29T07:22:22.512-07:00Jim Rubart's Book of Days coming in January<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-3ZmPw-DRxl5_-Xl9YoSXUkQGi2ya5jPQspCYFZ1_LkjBDeE68SYKi7YnNsMEUct8Rn9avOb8LPsQOICcaVu9SkTBM89zd1FUj5AGg0IxWHYLmJau-WWmNv7a5rBs1Af_OERB3je3PM7/s1600/book+of+days.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-3ZmPw-DRxl5_-Xl9YoSXUkQGi2ya5jPQspCYFZ1_LkjBDeE68SYKi7YnNsMEUct8Rn9avOb8LPsQOICcaVu9SkTBM89zd1FUj5AGg0IxWHYLmJau-WWmNv7a5rBs1Af_OERB3je3PM7/s320/book+of+days.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488200537011128946" border="0" /></a>On the heels of his successful novel Rooms, James Rubart will release Book of Days in January 2011.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Summary:</span><br /><br />What if you were losing your most treasured memories? Of your wife who passed away, of your dad who died far too young? What if you heard of a book whaere all of those memories are recorded and you could get them back? And what if this book also told your future? Would you believe it? Would you go on a desperate search for it, holding onto a strand of hope it would bring healing and answer all your questions?<p>Young Cameron Vaux's mind is slipping. Memories of his wife, killed two years earlier in a car accident, are vanishing just as his late father predicted they would. Memories he knows are critical to remember.

The process of getting great stories into the hands of readers makes each link a necessity.<br /><br />That's why we've chosen this event, among these industry people, to announce a major advancement in what has to this point been known as ACFW's Book of the Year awards.<br /><br />Each year, publishers and individual authors enter hundreds of recent Christian fiction releases in the ACFW Book of the Year Awards contest. Past Book of the Year winners have included noted authors Tracie Peterson, DiAnn Mills, Robin Lee Hatcher, Kim Vogel Sawyer, and many other skilled CBA novelists honored by ACFW for excellence in Christian fiction.<br /><br />In 1979, Bethany Publishing House editor Carol Johnson made a bold move that served as a catalyst for unprecedented growth in Christian fiction. It was a decision that changed the face of the industry and the content of readers' bookshelves. Mrs. Johnson championed Christian fiction by acquiring author Janette Oke, whose Love Comes Softly blazed a trail for future storytellers.<br /><br />ACFW owes a great debt of gratitude to the pioneers of Christian fiction and to those whose efforts have helped make Christian fiction the storytelling powerhouse it is today. To honor editorial pioneer Carol Johnson and others like her who envisioned how Christian fiction could make a mark in the publishing world, ACFW has renamed our Book of the Year Award. From this point on, the highest achievement in our award program for published authors will be The Carol Award.<br /><br />Asked to comment on Carol Johnson's impact, Bethany House Publishers' Vice President of Editorial David Horton notes, "Carol's vision for the future of fiction, her belief in the power of story to share God's truth, her respect for the art of writing, her trust in the editorial process, and her abiding concern for her authors set the course that Bethany House continues to follow today. Her acquisitions knocked open doors we now take for granted. The books she edited touched millions of lives."<br /><br />Carol Johnson will be present for the awards banquet at ACFW's annual conference September 17-20 in Indianapolis to present the inaugural Carol Awards.<br /><br />Janette Oke will attend as well, to join conferees and industry professionals in celebrating the growth of Christian fiction and to present Carol Johnson with ACFW's first ever Lifetime Achievement Award.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.acfw.com">Visit the ACFW website. </a>TitleTrakk.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17652796951741646422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828253730520748491.post-72743645198636711302010-06-26T17:26:00.001-07:002010-06-27T08:01:07.525-07:002010 Christy Award Winners!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyNC_xy0OM3Cwd2Z79bj8_6ujtFliCk2RXG_eqGhjVv4NURuTvf-89-me76-FTUYQV1XjhmJ0ZpGOrkKAo5Xm1XohTeu_O2Jw-ygz048a_B6m458VRJzZ11GSIYn2Ga2J2Tmx0DRUe1SKx/s1600/christy+award+logo+small.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyNC_xy0OM3Cwd2Z79bj8_6ujtFliCk2RXG_eqGhjVv4NURuTvf-89-me76-FTUYQV1XjhmJ0ZpGOrkKAo5Xm1XohTeu_O2Jw-ygz048a_B6m458VRJzZ11GSIYn2Ga2J2Tmx0DRUe1SKx/s320/christy+award+logo+small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487243395713972706" border="0" /></a><span id="txt77333657">The 2010 Christy Awards presentation was held Saturday evening, June 26, 2010, at the Renaissance St. Louis Grand in advance of the International Christian Retail Show.

The Christy Awards were established in 1999 to nurture and encourage creativity and quality in the writing and publishing of fiction written from a Christian worldview; to bring a new awareness of the breadth and depth of fiction choices available, helping to broaden the readership; and, to provide an opportunity to recognize novelists whose work may not have reached bestseller status.<br /><a href="facebook:%20www.facebook.com/ChristyAward"><br /></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/ChristyAward">Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChristyAward</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ChristyAward">Twitter: www.twitter.com/ChristyAward</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Click </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://titletrakkbooknews.blogspot.com/2010/04/2010-christy-award-nominees-announced.html">here</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> to read the full list of nominees.<br /><br /></span><span>And <a href="http://ajast.com/ChristyAwards2010WinnerPR.pdf">here's a pdf</a> of all the winners with a summary of each book. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Visit the <a href="http://www.christyawards.com/">Christy Awards website</a>.<br /><br /></span>TitleTrakk.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17652796951741646422noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828253730520748491.post-34979572013411256722010-06-25T07:39:00.000-07:002010-06-25T07:47:11.675-07:00B&H Thriller Book Tour Starts Friday!<span style=";font-family:";" >This week on Friday, the B&H Thriller Tour launches.

You can't lose with a price like that.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Description:</span><br />Farley’s Five-and-Dime plops the reader into a fun, folksy, small town setting, with a touch of romance, humor, and sweet southern charm.<br /><br />Set in the small town of Hog Eye Holler, Kentucky, in the 1950’s. Kids, and the young at heart alike, will enjoy meeting eleven-year-old Mazie May Farley; a cross between Pippi Longstocking and Caddie Woodlawn. The high spirited, red-headed whirlwind who helps her family run the local Five-and–Dime, has her sights on the popular town hunk-a-hunk, Billy Ray Baxter. In her comical, self-defeating schemes to snag Billy Ray away from Emma Jean Jacobs, Mazie is taken by surprise at the outcome of her high jinx attempts. When Billy fails to fall for Mazie’s numerous attempts to get him to invite her to the long anticipated Sweetheart Waltz, she raises the stakes higher and higher. Chaos and calamity ensue.

In the process, we learn and sometimes are changed.”<br /><br />“Fiction is a powerful tool in the hands of believers,” notes <b>Francine Rivers</b>, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of Her Mother’s Hope (Tyndale House). “It is a non-threatening way to share our faith with unsaved friends and relatives who might not be willing to read the Bible or talk about Jesus. I know of many new authors who will gain a wider audience through this new resource. The quality of Christian fiction just keeps getting better. FamilyFiction will be a great place to let it shine!”<br /><br />Adds <b>Robert Liparulo</b>, author of the YA time-travel thriller <i>Frenzy</i> (Thomas Nelson): “What? A way to find and promote stories by Christian authors who share my values? Where do I sign up? Way to go, guys!”<br /><br />“I applaud Salem Communications in the launch of FamilyFiction,” says <b>DiAnn Mills</b>, author of The Call of Duty series (Tyndale) and the historical romance <i>A Woman Called Sage</i> (Zondervan). “This new resource will be helpful to me in my various roles—writer, promoter of Christian fiction, trainer and encourager of authors—and avid reader!”<br /><br />Salem Publishing plans to launch the FamilyFiction digital magazine, newsletter and comprehensive website Fall 2010.

Ted thinks so and he said as much at the Chicago Gathering on Saturday. In fact, he dropped a bombshell to the collective gasp of the 300 people in the room. Not only does he think it's possible, but it's already being written for a Summer 2011 release from Hachette Book Group.<br /><br />It's entitled <i>Forbidden</i> and it's unlike any Dekker story you've read to date.<br /><br />For those who weren't there to see the video trailer on Saturday, here is the synopsis:<br /><br /><big><i>Four hundred eighty years have passed since civilization's brush with extinction. Perfect order reigns. Humanity's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no disease, no malice, no hate, no war. There is only peace.<br /><br />Until the day when one man discovers the truth: Every single soul walking the earth is actually <i>dead</i>. The human heart has been stripped of all that makes it human. Now only he is alive and only he has the knowledge that can once again awaken humanity.<br /><br />But the way is treacherous and the cost is staggering. For, indeed, in that day life itself is...Forbidden.</i></big><br /><br />But this is going to be different, Ted explained. To pull this story off right would require a unique blend of Dekker style thrills and grit told with masterful prose like he's never delivered before. It would mean going beyond himself in a completely new way. It would mean collaborating with someone as unique and edgy as he is to create something better than he could on his own.<br /><br />So the search began to find that one writer to elevate this story and make it larger than life. We thought it was an order too big to fill and we almost gave up. Then we found her.<br /><br />Those at the Gathering met her already, but now we'd like to introduce you because you're going to hear a lot more about the extremely talented Tosca Lee very soon. Trust us.<br /><br />For those who are unacquainted with her, Tosca is the acclaimed novelist of the groundbreaking (and controversial) books <i><a href="http://www.facebook.com/note_redirect.php?note_id=386805549854&h=d24f60f704ceaf9b4df34fa4a8093b42&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F1433668807%3Fie%3DUTF8%26tag%3Dbeatri-20%26linkCode%3Das2%26camp%3D1789%26creative%3D390957%26creativeASIN%3D1433668807" target="_blank" title="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1433668807?ie=UTF8&tag=beatri-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1433668807">Demon</a></i> and <i><a href="http://www.facebook.com/note_redirect.php?note_id=386805549854&h=24ac376f5686f8d86b713e3706a3a291&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F1433668793%3Fie%3DUTF8%26tag%3Dbeatri-20%26linkCode%3Das2%26camp%3D1789%26creative%3D390957%26creativeASIN%3D1433668793" target="_blank" title="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1433668793?ie=UTF8&tag=beatri-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1433668793">Havah</a></i>. She's also working on a novel about Judas...told in first person. If you met her you might think she is the long lost female side of Ted. And you might be right.<br /><br />She's grit and beauty in one package and has a way of finessing the English language in a way that's best described as lyrical.<br /><br />Forbidden is the first in the series that will likely become a trilogy. The collaboration process is unlike anything he's done before. It had to be. Ted said that it had to be seamless and feel 100% Dekker or the world would never see it. As a collaborative title, it will be completely different than House, Kiss, or Burn.<br /><br />More details will be released soon about this exciting venture and you'll be the first to hear about it right here. We haven't seen Ted this consumed with a story since the Circle. And if that's any indication of what's to come we should all get ready for the ride ahead.C.J.

More than just another book in the Summerside Press™ Spring 2010 line, HopeMinute came out of a special relationship between Summerside Press™ creative director, Jason Rovenstine, and the HopeKids organization. When Rovenstine’s young son was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, it was Rob and Susan Cottrell and HopeKids who helped make a difficult path somewhat more easily traversed because it was attended by a series of kind acts done for the family over an extended period of time. With things as small as tickets to movies, concerts, or sporting events for the whole family, HopeKids helps families have fun and make memories in the midst of trying times.<br /><br />“HopeKids helped us be a normal family through some abnormal circumstances. In fact, without them, we would have spent a lot more time focusing on cancer this past year than on sharing special times as a family and getting through this together,” Rovenstine said. “The HopeMinute book is a natural expression of what they already do. We knew from the start that we wanted to share the message of HopeKids with people—facing all kinds of situations—who need a life-giving dose of hope.”<br /><br />Reaching these families comes out of the heart and life of HopeKids founder Rob Cottrell. As part of his work, Cottrell sends simple email messages to the families of those battling cancer or other life-threatening medical conditions. Those emails touched many lives, and they have been expanded in HopeMinute. In the book, Rob offers his perspectives on faith, fear, dreams, and hope as a powerful medicine, and Susan adds inspiring and heart-warming prayers at the end of each selection. Working with Summerside Press™ to produce HopeMinute, Rob said, “What a thrill it is to partner with Summerside Press™ and see the HopeMinute book come to life! It has been such a blessing to get to know the people at Summerside and see the love and care they put into this book.”<br /><br />Cottrell continues, “The HopeKids organization comes alongside nearly 1,500 families, each with a child battling a life-threatening illness. We are a unique charity with a powerful program and message. We are a family, a community, and we go through these battles together. We play together, we pray together, we laugh together, we cry together, and we stand together believing in the power of hope and believing that the future is indeed full of wonder and life! Summerside Press™ and the HopeMinute book will enable us to reach so many more people with the same message.”<br /><br />HopeMinute releases in January 2010 and is available everywhere books are sold.
