I am creating three sections that reach out to libraries, book clubs, and anyone interested in the “theology” of the book. The book is perfect for book clubs that prefer character-driven novels, and book studies at churches that embrace questions.
The novel features a library director as a main character and hero. Many scenes, including the climax, take place at a library. I wrote much of the book sitting in my local libraries in Lewes and Milton, Delaware. They have an invaluable place in our society.
The novel also tackles the question of, What is the Christian faith in 21st-century America? So I will share some questions and resources.
These are low-res versions of the cover. If you need a high-resolution version, contact me.
WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THE BOOK: The Salt and Light Express will be published October 14. Pre-ordering begins September 15. Use the hashtags #saltandlightexpress and #coverreveal. Great for book clubs. Poignant and humorous story of an older women’s roadtrip recovery from grief and guilt. It’s the inspiring story of Chris, an adventurous older woman who heads west in a small RV after the death of her long-time partner, Sally. Her original mission was to spread Sally’s ashes at Bryce Canyon, but detours along the way help her heal, confront her flagging faith, and find love and purpose again.
This PDF includes all the information about the novel, including ISBN numbers and BISAC codes.
Please view, download and/or share.
The Salt and Light Express is an independently published novel under the imprint, Shifting Sands Media. We used an independent publishing consultant, Monkey C Media of San Diego, to ensure that the experience of reading the novel will be seamless to the reader and available through all the normal channels including online, book stores, and libraries.
