It was a story I never meant to write, and I struggled every word. When I finally felt I had a decent plot together and tackled it, I came up thirty thousand words short.
Yep. Thirty. Thousand. Words.
Even after I finished, something still felt off. Not wrong, just off. Once I started pressing in, I realized it was a stirring. Eventually Entangled became the first new release from my own Surrendered Scribe Media.
Yep. This crazy year, I obeyed God’s call to start my own business where I encourage audiences to find freedom through surrender. I’ll accomplish it through speaking and fiction. My Surrendering Time series is my first fiction.
Yep. God knew what He was doing. Already the feedback is coming in that Entangled is helping readers see they need to let go of guilt or choices that are holding them back. That story I was ready to give up on is being used to help people.
Wow.
Because May was so busy, so far it is only on Amazon, but for print, I will probably make it available a few more places. Whether or not you have a Kindle, my version for Kindle is readable on a free app for your tablet, phone, etc…
Here’s what Entangled is about:
Entangled is now available on Amazon.

JOSEPH: THE OTHER FATHER Jesus grew up in a violent world. Just how violent was it? The Romans and Zealots were constantly having skirmishes along the highways and in towns. Sometimes their own king or government attacked the people by the thousands, often at the annual Jewish feasts held in Jerusalem three times a year,…

Sounds like I’m starting the new year off sassy. Not quite. One thing about me is I’m honest to a fault, although I try to speak the truth in love. The last couple years I’ve journaled my experience with both my hair going naturally curly and gray. Neither was something I saw coming, and it’s…
