Genre: Gritty Christian Romance
Book Blurb:
Sarah Warner and Evan Simes couldn’t be more different from one other. While she enjoys all the comforts of a loving home, lots of friends and a close relationship with God, he spends his time evading assaults at the hands of his inebriated stepfather and the bullies who reign the halls of Belton High. Where Sarah is kind-hearted, caring and sees the good in everything, Evan is hardened by dark secrets, the realities of his own life and carries an enormous chip on his vengeful shoulders. The socially adept Sarah is drawn to Belton High's resident outcast, whereas he avoids anyone associated with the popular crowd. Through Sarah's unrelenting kindness and faith and a night stuck in the school's library with the grumpy Evan, these two find they have more in common than they originally thought, enabling them to form a bond unlike any other. In the face of a recurring illness and the unwanted attention of Evan's former and spiteful best friend, Tyler, can Sarah and her beau rely on God and each other to guide them through?
Excerpt:
“Why are you trying to help me?” He asks her.
She looks at him in earnest, her cheeks stained with tears. “Because you matter,” she tells him.
My mouth falls open at what I’m hearing come from her lips. If I could’ve seen his face, I’m sure his expression likely mimicked my own. This girl is unreal. She is truly an angel. My angel.
We sit there frozen in place for a few moments, as we all seem to be absorbing the dynamic of the situation. Once I start to feel calmer, I make my way over to Sarah, helping her up and checking her over.
“What do you mean?” Tyler finally speaks again, still looking at Sarah, “that, I matter?”
She walks over to him after slipping into my hoodie that I gave her to cover herself up. Kneeling to him, she places a hand on Tyler’s shoulder. “You matter,” she repeats, “to Evan, to me…” She points up before saying, “to Him.”
I stand behind her as she leans in and embraces Tyler, bearing witness, in shock, to how this is all playing out. Tyler continues to sit there speechless, obviously not knowing how to respond or react. He simply looks into her sincere eyes, as a tear runs down his cheek, regarding her in awe. Now he’s seeing what I see. The exquisite girl I fell in love with.

Author Biography:
I'm an independently published author of edgy Christian Fiction. My books are gritty fictional romance stories containing sinful characters who make or have made poor choices. These characters do use profanity (lightly censored) and inflict violence. There are fairly mild depictions of abuse, assault (non sexual), threats, revenge plotting, illness, gun violence, knife violence and death. Despite each books use of flawed characters, violence and profanity, each gritty representation showcases the immorality of those sinful actions and displays an overall message of redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ.
Each of my books is part of a series of interconnected standalone novels/novellas.
I am a proud child of God, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. I was born and raised in the Midwest but moved to the East Coast when I was 18 where I've been ever since. I have adored writing stories since I was 10 years old, but only decided to publish my first book when I came up with the idea for “Wonder of Light.”
