Thank you for visiting Rebekah Lyn and Friends. DiVoran Lites and myself, Rebekah Lyn, are looking forward to sharing our stories with you. We write Christian ficton that specializes in faith, adventure and hope. I love this quote from  Mary C. Findley’s review of Summer Storms.

If you dismiss Christian fiction as sappy or shallow or “chick lit,” you’ll miss really fine books like this one. 

It seems the characters in my books spend a lot of time eating so I have dedicated a page here to share recipes or just sit around the table with coffee or tea and chat, Come visit me on Kitchen Chat with Rebekah.

DiVoran has her own special place where she relaxes, its called her Potato Couch. One never knows what to expect. One day she may be penning poems the next she could be capturing life in watercolors. Don’t tell her I said this but you might also find her taking a creativity nap.
All of our links are listed below. We hope you come back and chat with us about books, share a poem or a great new recipe.

Don’t forget to visit the pages of  our featured authors. You will find their books as a drop down in the Books menu.

The Florida Springs Trilogy by DiVoran Lites

Saced Spring Cover-Website“It feels good when people appreciate your work. In the story of Sacred Spring Elaine Donovan’s natural campground in Florida is in danger of being destroyed along with her fulfilled lifestyle.

“I loved these words so much, I posted them on FB just to show them off. I could picture and feel every word.”

“Rays of sunlight penetrated the azure water, fracturing it into golden-rimmed squares of teal that undulated on the sandy bottom. She looked up to check on the eagles and there they were, enjoying a thermal above the tall trees. The leaves on the oaks were every conceivable color of green interspersed with red maple buds and silvery moss; they made a picture any artist would love to paint. If she ever prayed, it was to thank God for placing her here and to beg him to let her stay for as long as she lived.”

Living Spring-WebsiteAs I wrote Sacred Spring I became fond of the characters and wanted to know more about some of the people I’d met, so while Living Spring isn’t an exact sequel, it does move the saga on.

This is Jean Schaeffer on her way to a new life:

Today I had stalled until the last minute to pack, then signed papers, and now we were hot, tired, hungry, and running late, not that anyone was waiting, but the sky grew darker by the moment. What could we expect? Summer was over and daylight savings time had flown. We probably should have stopped at a supermarket on the way, but I was afraid to get off the Interstate for fear of getting lost.

Clear Spring the final book in the Florida Springs Trilogy in now available

Clear SpringMel Nicolaides, one of five children, has lived a happy, sheltered life at Living Spring in Florida. Her goal now, is to become as independent as possible.

Her job is to illustrate a book about Seminole Indian medical and culinary herbs for an author whose Seminole name is Walking Woman. The revelation of a skeleton in Mel’s family closet, during her time there, however, forces her to find sources of strength she never knew existed.

From an Amazon review: I’d recommend you curl up in front of the fire with a hot cup of tea, cider, or hot cocoa and this book, because you’re not gonna want to put it down!!

I have only one negative to say…This is the last story in the trilogy! I always hate to say goodbye to the friends I’ve met and grown with. Another good one, DiVoran!! I can’t wait to see your next series!!

ENJOY FRIENDS!!

A Falling in Deep Collection novella
by Pauline Creeden
published on May 26, 2015

Goodreads | Amazon

Verona is a bottom feeder. She is the one mer in her clan who is considered the ugliest and least intelligent. Growing up with the constant bullying and abuse wasn’t the worst of what her kind had in store for her. At seventeen years old, she must now endure “The Reckoning.”

The scales will measure her worth to her clan. Will she endure thirty days as a land-walker to gather information and knowledge to appease her clan and return a valued member? Will she wait three years, until she is twenty, and find a mer of her kind to accept her and marry her? Or will she suffer exile for the rest of her life?

Woman in water

 

EXCERPT

TO KEEP FROM SCREAMING, I bite hard on my lip. The copper mixture of blood and saltwater mingles on my tongue. Mer claws rake against my back. The barnacles on the post to which I’m tied stab me in the chest. Pain sets my body on fire. Everything burns. I squeeze my eyes shut tight and keep my silence.

“Ugly.”

“Repugnant.”

“Unsightly.”

“Ignorant.”

“Bottom Feeder.”

Each word cuts as deep in my flesh as the physical wounds my clan inflicts. It can’t last long. I can endure this. As soon as the sharks catch scent of my blood they will come, and the Mer will scatter.

The world spins around me like a whirlpool. My breaths come quick and shallow, my heart pounds faster in my ears. Each second is an eternity, until I realize fresh wounds are not adding to the burning in my skin.

The elder’s sharp tongue whispers in my ear. “Now you will be measured.”

My wrists fall free of the post as he cuts the ties.

Exile. My Reckoning has begun.
