Cornerstone message from the collection
 My cornerstone message is about freedom. Freedom from the past, from the messes, the mistakes, regrets, fears, and failures. As a military wife, freedom means so much to me, but as a Christian, I want to be as free on the inside as I am on the outside. This cornerstone message resonates with many believers. We say we’re free, but often we’re not in that freedom.

FUN FACTS ABOUT HANNAH R. CONWAY

♥︎ Favorite place to readCurled up on my couch with a cup of coffee. A front porch is a pretty good place too. 

♥︎ Favorite book character from childhoodRobin Hood. I love that story!

♥︎ Dream vacationA month long tour of Europe. I’m imagining it now...train rides, a sea breeze, castles, cobblestone roads...a little piece of heaven! 

♥︎ Hidden talent/little-known factIt’s a little strange, but I can pick up almost anything with my toes. It comes in handy when cleaning the house. Socks on the floor? No problem! My toes can pinch them up. 

♥︎ Plotter or pantserDefinitely a plotter, but I do have moments of pantsing when my characters just take over and do what they want. Crazy characters! 

♥︎ In no particular order, ten of your favorite things (i.e. hot cocoa, a warm breeze, the sound of my kids’ laughter, etc.)

  1. The way my kids come and find me in the morning...warm hugs and sleepy smiles

  3. Dogs: I love animals in general...I adore our dog, Albus

  5. History: all things history; old buildings, old graveyards, any old historical site, antiques...I just adore anything that screams “history”
  6. The woods: the beach is wonderful, but there’s something about being amongst the trees, dirt path beneath my feet that resonates with me
  7. Bookstores: I have a serious book buying problem...but it’s a good problem
  8. Fall: hands down my favorite season; pumpkin-spiced everything, festivals, corn mazes, cool nights, campfires, big scarves--YES!

CONNECT WITH JOHNNIE: Website | https://linktr.ee/johnniealexndr 

Cornerstone message from the collection:
 One of the first verses I ever claimed as my own was Proverbs 31:25. The translation I love most reads: Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future. The first part of the verse is almost a mantra, a phrase I repeat to myself when I need courage. Maybe I’m faced with something as simple as a phone call I don’t want to make. Or maybe the situation is much more serious. An ectopic pregnancy. Family tensions. Divorce. A dying parent. Life takes courage. And at the heart of courage--true courage--is trust. We can smile at the future, no matter what difficult, frightening, horrible situations we face because of God’s steadfast love and His promise of eternal life with Him.

FUN FACTS ABOUT JOHNNIE ALEXANDER

♥︎ Favorite place to read: I love to read in my comfy spot on the sofa. My little papillon Rugby curls up on the leg rest, and I usually put down the middle console which has a cup-holder for my drink. It’s all very relaxing and cozy. 

♥︎ Favorite book character from childhood: I have so many, but if I must choose one I’ll go with Encyclopedia Brown. I read all those books I could find when I was a kid. 

♥︎ Favorite movie: I’m not sure I ever answer this question the same--I have so many favorites, it’s always hard to choose just one.  Today’s choice . . . Captain America: Civil War.  And just about anything starring Cary Grant. 

♥︎ Favorite quote or Bible verse: “Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.” Ecclesiastes 11:7 

♥︎ Favorite splurge/treat: Going to the movies! 

♥︎ Favorite character you’ve created: This is a toss-up between two of my heroes: Ian Devlin from Where Treasure Hides (WWII historical) and AJ Sullivan from Where She Belongs (contemporary). Ian is known for his heart-flipping grin, and both guys have a mischievous streak. Both are strong, capable, and upright. AJ needs to overcome a childhood of loss, deceit, and painful grief. Ian has his own burden and confronts horrific circumstances as a WWII soldier. 

♥︎ Last 3 great books you read: We Hope for Better Things by Erin Bartels; The Divide by Jolina Petersheim; Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. 

♥︎ Dream vacation: I’ve been blessed to take a dream vacation already. My sister and I flew to Barcelona, traveled by train through France, Italy, Switzerland, and Spain, then spent a week in Lisbon. It was the best trip ever! My new dream vacation is to visit the Pacific Northwest. Or New Zealand (Middle Earth!). 

♥︎ Hidden talent/little-known fact: I’ve been known to choke on, among other things, a giant Sweet-Tart, water, and . . . air! 

♥︎ Plotter or pantser: Depends on the story--I truly do both. I recently wrote a novella based on nothing more than the back cover type blurb I submitted in the proposal. But I also write novels for a particular publisher based on the chapter summaries I’ve created. I’ve discovered that the more planning I do upfront, the easier it is to write the story.  

♥︎ In no particular order, ten of your favorite things (i.e. hot cocoa, a warm breeze, the sound of my kids’ laughter, etc.):  

  • Sunshine through a window
  • Dandelions
  • Sprawling trees
  • Freshly-squeezed lemon juice in a glass of ice-cold Pepsi
  • Hugs from the grands
  • My collie’s deep “sighs” (You have to hear it to “know” it!) 
  • Typing “The End” 
  • Blank books
  • My adult kids laughing about childhood memories
  • Surprise blessings

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sara Davison is the author of the romantic suspense novel, The Watcher, and the romantic suspense series, The Seven Trilogy and The Night Guardians Series. She has been a finalist for eight national writing awards, including Best New Canadian Christian author, a Carol Award, and two Daphne du Maurier Awards for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense. She is a Word and Cascade Award winner. Sara currently resides in Ontario, Canada with her husband Michael and their three children, all of whom she (literally) looks up to.

CONNECT WITH SARA: Website | Facebook | Twitter 

Cornerstone message from the collection:
 God never promised believers that life would be easy, he promised us that he would never leave us or forsake us. Whatever we are going through, he is with us and we are never alone. I hope and pray that my message encourages readers to remember that they are not alone when they are going through tough times. We often don't understand why God allows certain things to happen to us or those we love, but we can trust that he is good, that he is sovereign and in control, and that he will never leave us.

FUN FACTS ABOUT SARA DAVISON

♥︎ Favorite place to read: On a Muskoka chair on the shore of a lake

♥︎ Favorite book character from childhood: Anne of Green Gables

♥︎ Favorite movie: Shawshank Redemption

♥︎ Favorite quote or Bible verse: ...the mere obeying is also intrinsically good, for, in obeying, a rational creature consciously enacts its creaturely role, reverses the act by which we fell, treads Adam’s dance backward, and returns. (C.S. Lewis) 

♥︎ Favorite splurge/treat: Really good, high quality chocolate

♥︎ Favorite character you’ve created: Captain Jesse Christiansen in The Seven Trilogy

♥︎ Last 3 great books you read: Heaven by Randy Alcorn, Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate, and The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley

♥︎ Dream vacation: Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales - my husband and I are hoping to go for our 25th anniversary in two years

♥︎ Hidden talent/little-known fact: I won the science award in eighth grade and several public speaking awards in elementary school - interesting because I now have very little interest in science and would rather do almost anything than speak in public 

♥︎ Plotter or pantser: Plottser? Pantter? Definitely a bit of both. I like a reasonable outline when I begin - for sure I like to know where I’m beginning and where I will end up and as much of the journey to get there as possible, but I also like to leave it open for the story and characters to take me where they will along the way. 

♥︎ In no particular order, ten of your favorite things (i.e. hot cocoa, a warm breeze, the sound of my kids’ laughter, etc.):

  • Live theatre
  • Road trips

Cornerstone message from the collection:  
Listen...
 Everyone has their own life story that brings them to where they are in life and molds their beliefs and opinions. The problem is, we live in a reactionary world where we don't stop and listen to what others are saying, and too often we're not willing to really hear the other person's side of the story. Rather, we react to their statement or opinion by pointing fingers, and we’re quick to not only say, "You're wrong" but we often resort to name calling. We don’t stop and listen to this person whom God loves. 
In each of my books, God has placed heroes/heroines on my heart that I would normally struggle with and want to tell them, "You're wrong!": a pro-choice woman, an arrogant businessman, a bully, mugger, collection agent, to name a few. With each character, God has told me, "I love them. I want you to see the heart that I see." And that's what I've tried to convey in my books. Open up our ears and our eyes to see who God sees, hears, and loves.

FUN FACTS ABOUT BRENDA S. ANDERSON

♥︎ Favorite place to read: It doesn’t happen often, but sitting by the shore of Lake Superior. That’s my favorite place, period! 

♥︎ Favorite book character from childhood: Trixie Belden - I loved how real and relatable she was. She was far from perfect, yet she was loyal to family and friends.

♥︎ Favorite movie: This is ever changing. Right now it’s Avengers: Endgame. I LOVE the Marvel movies! 

♥︎ Favorite quote or Bible verse: This is also ever changing! Right now my favorite verse is Isaiah 43:19a “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” 

♥︎ Favorite splurge/treat: Fannie May candies. Unfortunately (or maybe it’s fortunately …) there are no longer any stores near us. 

♥︎ Favorite character you’ve created: The main character in my first release and series, Richard Brooks. I loved his journey from broken man to bold Christ follower. Though his series is complete, he still makes random appearances in subsequent books because I just can’t say goodbye! 

♥︎ Last 3 great books you read: Oh, that’s tough, separating the Great books from the I really liked books. There’s a fine line, and it’s also a fluid line! But as of today, the last 3 great books I’ve read are: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate, Water from My Heart by Charles Martin 

♥︎ Dream vacation: I’ve always wanted to travel to Israel, to walk the ground that Jesus walked.

♥︎ Hidden talent/little-known fact: I (used to) draw portraits. Someday, I’ll get back to that! 

♥︎ Plotter or pantser: Total pantser, which is unusual because everything else in my life is organized. I think this is God’s way of getting me to release control. 

♥︎ In no particular order, ten of your favorite things (i.e. hot cocoa, a warm breeze, the sound of my kids’ laughter, etc.):

  • Lake Superior 
  • Silence 
  • Laughing and spending time with family 
  • Reading (of course!) 
  • Musical theater (attending, not acting in) 
  • Singing with a small ensemble 
  • Chocolate! 
  • Baseball 
  • Encouraging and helping others 
  • The haunting coo of a mourning dove

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Deb Elkink lives with her long-time husband in a cottage beside a babbling creek in rural Alberta, Canada. She grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and studied in Minneapolis–Saint Paul (B.A. Communications), publishing a dozen or so short stories and articles as a young adult. She spent the next twenty years as a rancher’s wife and homeschooling mom (rounding up cattle on horseback, cooking for huge branding crews, earning her private pilot’s license, readying kids for high school).

Graduate studies (M.A. Theology) then prepared her for editing a professional quarterly magazine, doctoral dissertations and scholarly articles, and an online expository Bible study. Today she writes and edits, travels like mad, drinks lots of creamy decaf with friends, and speaks to women’s groups about the Christian faith.

Her debut novel (The Third Grace) received Canada’s prestigious Grace Irwin Prize in 2012, and her literary work on the fiction of a late-Victorian British writer (Roots and Branches: The Symbol of the Tree in the Imagination of G.K. Chesterton) was published in 2015. Her upcoming novel is a contemporary women’s fiction with a historical/theological twist: Eat, Pray, Love and The Wizard of Oz meet the Book of Hebrews in showing that “home” is a state of soul, a state of inner rest.

Cornerstone message from the collection:
Look for God in the Bible. Everything (art, literature, fashion design, engineering, philosophy, travel, cooking, health, romance, community, fitness . . .) can be a way to express or illustrate God’s action on our world, but only the living and breathed-out Word of God can give us knowledge of the Father our hearts are longing for. Only the mind of God revealed to the minds of mortals by the Holy Spirit through Scripture can bring us into alignment with the Person of Jesus Christ. In today’s increasingly pagan culture, “spirituality” has become a buzzword for any belief but the truth—the more mystical the better. But the Holy Book of God is the only source containing all we need for salvation and spiritual life.  

FUN FACTS ABOUT DEB ELKINK

♥︎ Favorite place to read: In bed beneath my down duvet, propped up on goose-feather pillows, and ensconced in crisp, white, Egyptian cotton sheets of high thread count--with a chocolate snack to nibble.

♥︎ Favorite book character from childhood: Nancy Drew--so poised, so brainy, and so gullible all at the same time. She led me into and through many mysterious plots that stimulated my curiosity about dude ranches and treasure maps and old attics. It’s funny I didn’t become a mystery writer.

♥︎ Favorite movie: Usually psychological thrillers (with no spiritistic thread) like Gone Girl or The Game, or any movies I can read theology into such as Chocolat or Father Brown. Currently, however: When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story

♥︎ Favorite quote or Bible verse: 2 Timothy 2:15 . . . rightly dividing the Word of truth.  Also Phil 1:9-11: And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

♥︎ Favorite splurge/treat: Chocolate! Dark, bittersweet, enveloping rustic candied ginger or cherries or salted caramel 

♥︎ Favorite character you’ve created: Mary Grace (renamed Aglaia after a Greek goddess), who ran from her rural background searching for herself (and love) in the arts. Or maybe Ebenezer MacAdam, the old Scottish sage full of truth. No, I take that back--better Libby Walker, who’s been walking away for all her life and finally finds her way home. That said, my current antagonist, Sybil Tansey, travels from one exotic international “sacred place” to the next for yet another thrill--gotta love the misplaced verve. 

♥︎ Last 3 great books you read: All the Light You Cannot See (Doerr); Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering (Keller); Hebrews (the Holy Spirit) Dream vacation: A Japanese ryokan (traditional inn) in Kyoto during cherry blossom season 

♥︎ Hidden talent/little-known fact: I can hear the (silent to most) shriek of an armed but not activated high-frequency alarm in some shops--yikes, drives me bats! 

♥︎ Plotter or pantser: Definitely plotter

♥︎ In no particular order, ten of your favorite things (i.e. hot cocoa, a warm breeze, the sound of my kids’ laughter, etc.):

  • Exotic perfume
  • Chinese brush art (ink on sepia paper)
  • Mennonite food (especially vrenekje with schmontfat--look it up)
  • Deep red silk velvet
  • Prairie thunderstorms
  • A huge church choir singing old hymns of praise beneath the vaulted ceilings of a cathedral
  • My sewing machine
  • A crisp sheet of blank super white paper and a new roller pen
  • My hot tub in a snowstorm
  • A warm hug

The Mosaic Collection Blog Blitz Featuring Author Eleanor Bertin

 

Welcome to the Blog Blitz  for The Mosaic Collection, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

In a fit of optimism at age eleven, Eleanor Bertin began her first novel by numbering a stack of 100 pages. Two of them got filled with words. Lifelines, her first completed novel, was published in 2016, followed by Pall of Silence in 2017, a memoir about her late son Paul. She holds a college diploma in Communications and worked in agriculture journalism until the birth of her first child. The family eventually grew to include one daughter and six sons (the youngest with Down syndrome) whom she home-educated for 25 years. Eleanor lives with her husband and youngest son, Timothy, amidst the ongoing renovation of a century home in central Alberta where she reads, writes, sweeps up construction rubble and blogs about a sometimes elusive contentment at jewelofcontentment.wordpress.com.

CONNECT WITH ELEANOR: Website | Facebook | Twitter 

Cornerstone message from the collection:  Launch out into the far reaches of the universe. Delve deep into the intricate wonders of creation’s minutest particles. The farther humanity goes, the more awe I feel at the God whose power and genius spoke it all into existence. As a very young girl, I relished the delicious thrill of feeling tiny in the face of vast power, whether under a giant prairie sky, or failing in my count of the sparkling night stars. Like holding hands with a grizzly bear, God’s thundering bigness against my feeble smallness terrifies and quiets me. That shivery awe fills the pages of the Bible, where God’s mighty power and fearsome holiness are vividly on display. There I read of a majestic King, both perfectly holy and utterly sovereign. That’s the terror part! He governs every detail of history, and every detail of my life.  But layered within that message is the constant harmony line of God’s pure goodness and the astonishing message of His never-ending love in the sacrificial death of His Son Jesus in my place. “And from my smitten heart with tears  Two wonders I confess --  The wonders of His glorious love  And my unworthiness.”  (Elizabeth C. Clephane, Beneath the Cross of Jesus) I’m flooded with joy knowing I belong to a trustworthy, loving God who forgives me and never leaves me!

FUN FACTS ABOUT ELEANOR BERTIN

♥︎ Favorite place to read: On my bed, or stretched out on the couch. With fuzzy blanket. And chocolate

♥︎ Favorite book character from childhood: Anne of Green Gables

♥︎ Favorite movie: Pride & Prejudice (6 hr. BBC version)

♥︎ Favorite quote or Bible verse: “Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.” Dt. 32: 3,4 coupled with “He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zeph. 3:17 

♥︎ Favorite splurge/treat: Chocolate-covered dried cherries!

♥︎ Favorite character you’ve created: Can I pick three? None of these are my main characters, but they appeal to me anyway. Anna Fawcett, a wise senior whose insightful questions and warm caring transform those she touches. (She’s modelled after my own mother.) Jesse Fawcett, her 24yo son who has Down syndrome. I love his quirky ways, many of which are derived from my own son, Timo, or accounts of real people with DS as told to me by their families. Jake Adrian, cultish, controlling legalist, manipulative self-styled prophet, tyrant of his family, money lover and secret gambler, northern Alberta farmer. (It was alarming to me how easily his wonky theology flowed onto the page!) 

♥︎ Last 3 great books you read: Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin, The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul

♥︎ Dream vacation: leisurely British/European tour of great art, museums, architecture, history

♥︎ Hidden talent: Pie-making. (“Maybe it should be less hidden,” husband says.) 

♥︎ Plotter or pantser: I plot by the seat of my pants. By that, I mean I have an overarching theme that governs why I’m writing the book, I make a rough outline of key plot points, and then I live with my characters day in and day out, letting the details of their characters unfold. Unbound (my Mosaic book) is my most plotted book thus far. Three-quarters of the way through its sequel, Tethered, I still wish I’d taken the time to plot this one in more detail. 

♥︎ In no particular order, ten of your favorite things (i.e. hot cocoa, a warm breeze) There are no warm breezes in Alberta.  The first time I experienced such a thing was in 100 degree heat in Texas. I was not amused., the sound of my kids’ laughter, etc.)

  • The swish of a tape measure   
  • The squeal of a power tool {These two reveal my eagerness to see our 16-year whole-house renovation completed!} 
  • All my grown sons kibbutzing together (they’re very witty!) 
  • A long conversation about Jesus and theology with whoever will indulge with me.  
  • Listening to Handel’s Messiah 
  • Mowing our acreage, seasonally scented by lilacs, chokeberry blossoms, wolf willow, or alfalfa
  • Reading to/chatting/snuggling with my 5 (soon to be 7) grandchildren 
  • Sewing (especially quilts) 
  • Flower gardening (Lilies! Roses! Delphiniums!) 
  • A deep discussion with my husband (or daughter, or sister, or mother, or friend)
