My favorite reads of 2013, with *7* giveaways, ends Jan 3

Short stories/novellas category top picks for 2013

Snowed In by Carrie Pagels and Upon a Christmas Tree Schooner by Carla Gade in volume 1
The beautiful story of Angelina and Matthew, who must trust God when their lives don't make sense. God brings a better outcome than either of them could fathom.
This well-researched Civil War story gripped my heart, and is penned by a very talented writer. A real treasure
Fields of the Fatherless--The unforgettable story of a young lady who witnesses the beginning of the American Revolution in her own front yard.

Soldier's Heart--a Civil War veteran returns with PTSD in this well-depicted short historical.

Full Length Fiction picks for 2013

Meticulous research and a masterful command of the Civil War period, plus a moving story. A+ read

Gorgeous, literary, haunting, and deeply moving story of loss and redemption, of hatred and reconciliation, of the nature of evil and of sacred love. And set in Upstate New York!




Another stellar read, set in the War of 1812 near Baltimore. Intrigue, romance, and fine writing make this a must read.
A sweet debut and moving story of patience, trust and overcoming love.

Another very good story set in the colonial frontier.
Great author with a stellar cast of characters make this one of the best reads of the year.
Another talented debut author brings a speculative fiction story of angels, high stakes warfare, and a very contemporary lady stumbling into their world. Unexpectedly good romance and writing.
Spiritual warfare, pearls of wisdom, and a well paced story made this one of my favorites this year.
