Rachel McRae from the LifeWay blog on Randy Singer’s intriguing new novel, The Advocate
Top Christian fiction author makes leap to historical era.
I know there are a lot of Singer fans out there, and you may be thinking, “A historical novel? Really?” And I would say, yes! My sales rep at Tyndale has been talking this book up with me for many months. He says it’s not only the best book Randy has written to date but is also one of the best books he’s read in many years. That’s high praise, in my opinion!
The INSPY 2014 shortlists announced!
With bleary eyes, paper-cut fingers, and reading-in-bed hair, the Inspy Awards Advisory Board has come out of reading hibernation to announce the 2014 shortlist contenders. A daunting task was placed before us to pick just five books in each category from a long list of 150 nominated by readers and bloggers around the world.
The INSPY Board interviews nominated authors including Jessica Dotta and Gina Holmes.
