Celebrating Creativity: New Book from 24-7 AuthorRebecca Dunning - 16 Nov 2011
While Rebecca Dunning may be known mostly for writing about Justice issues and other editorial articles around 24-7, she has always wanted to try her hand at some fiction.
Rebecca writes:
My love for the Celts and their “unique” way of following Jesus has not only inspired me personally but sparked my desire to dabble in the genre of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. I certainly can’t compare myself to these giants of classic literature, but what I have come up with is, The Awen: Book One of the Sacred Oak Series, which is my first stab at “redemptive juvenile fiction.” I’ve decided to donate 10% of my sales proceeds over the next 6 months from the book to 24-7 Prayer to fund our mission of prayer, justice and mercy.
You can grab a copy for just $2.99 in every format known to man at Smashwords
Here is a foretaste:
The Awen is an intriguing tale full of young heroes, epic battles, and colorful story-telling. It contains the perfect elements for popular youth fiction: three-dimensional characters, a suspenseful tale of mythical proportions, and a view of the redemptive possibilities in every human heart.
Back Cover Copy:
Winter Haven Manor sits on a coastal estate in Wales, with mystery and danger in its history. It is the home of Ian, the son of the manor’s groundskeeper and a disenchanted dreamer who is soon to discover a destiny beyond his wildest imagination. It is also the home of Reese, Ian’s troubled nemesis who is heir to the estate, and Libby, Reese’s feisty cousin who has returned from America after losing her father.
What the trio discovers is that they are the "three unlikely"--a team of empowered friends meant to save the world, as foretold by a thousand-year-old prophecy. Not only will they have to combine their skills in order to save the otherworld, known as Mag Mell, but they will also have to overcome battles in their own lives as well. Their struggles with the creatures in the otherworld will teach them about who they have been, and more importantly, who they can become.
