If Tomorrow Never Comes (2009)
They say you should reach for your dreams.
This time, they're wrong?
Childhood sweethearts Kinna and Jimmy Henley had simple dreams?marriage, children, a house by the sea?everything they needed for happily ever after. What they didn't plan on was years of infertility, stealing those dreams, crushing their hopes.
Now, all that's left is the memory of young love, and the desperate need for a child to erase the pain. Until?
Kinna rescues an elderly woman from the sea, and the threads of the past, present, and future weave together to reveal the wonder of one final hope. One final chance to follow not their dreams, but God's.
Can they embrace the redemptive power of love before it's too late? Or will their love be washed away like the castles they once built upon the sand? The past whispers to the present. And the future shivers. What if tomorrow never comes?

Veil of Fire (2007)
A Raging Firestorm . . .
A Light in the Hills . . .
And a Mystery Rises from the Ash.
In 1894, the worst firestorm in Minnesota history descends on the town of Hinckley. Heat, flame, and darkness sweep through the town, devouring lives, destroying hope. In the aftermath, the town rises from the ashes, its people determined to rebuild their lives.
But in the shadows, someone is watching. Someone is waiting. Someone who knows the secrets that can free them all. A rumor begins of a hermit in the hills - a person severely burned, disfigured beyond recognition. Doubts rise. Fear whispers. Is the hermit a monster or a memory? An enemy or a love once-lost?
Based on historical events, Veil of Fire beckons to a time when hope rose from the smoke of sacrifice, when trust hid behind a veil of fear, when dreams were robed in a mantle of fire . . .

Only the Wind Remembers (2003)
Making peace with the past. . .
Discovering the only love that heals . . .
Based on actual historical events, Only the Wind Remembers recreates the remarkable journey of Ishi, the last Yahi Indian, and the last "Stone Age" Indian in all of North America. Relying heavily on the historical account of Ishi, award-winning author Marlo Schalesky spins a fictional tale of love, truth, and the power of the cross.
In 1911, the last Yahi Indian walked out of the woods and into civilization for the first time. Driven from a life of hiding, Ishi longs for one thing - to tell a secret tale, a fable of his people that only he knows.
Allison Morgan understands how important it is to obey the tenets of propriety, especially when her anthropologist husband is entrusted with the care of the last Stone Age Indian in North America. Yet, something about Ishi stirs echoes of memories long forgotten, compelling her to defy the rules. Secretly, she learns Ishi's language. And then, the tale begins, bringing with it the promise of hope long abandoned.
But in the midst of renewed dreams, will a tangle of hidden motives, personal insecurities, and long-masked secrets destroy their one chance to discover the truth?

Freedom's Shadow (2001)
1754, Colonial America. In this sequel to Cry Freedom, the French-Indian War rages on the frontier, while plots thicken in England. In the midst of war, three people are bound by the pain of the past, shackled by bonds of unforgiveness. For them, freedom is only a dream, and peace is as elusive as a shadow. But God is about to shine the light of truth into their hearts and chase away the darkness with the power of forgiveness given, and forgiveness received.

Cry Freedom (2000)
The year is 1743. In the English colonies a religious revival, which will later be named The Great Awakening, is sweeping through every class of people, drawing the wealthy and common alike into a new and personal experience with God. But as the American colonists find their peace with God, England and France plot for war, the third of four such conflicts waged by the French and British for control of North America.
On the Pennsylvanian frontier, tensions mount as the Shawnee and Delaware ally with the French. Here the drums of war have already begun to beat. French-led war bands advance. Settlers tremble. Brave men, driven by the hope of freedom, grip their muskets in desperate hands.
And, in the midst of it all, one half-breed Indian girl dreams of what it means to be free . . .

Thought for today: God is more interested in our "becoming" than in our "doing."

I'm the author of seven books, including my latest novel IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES, which is the second of my new LOVE STORIES WITH A TWIST (think Nicolas Sparks with a M. Night Shymalan twist!).
I've had over 600 articles published in various magazines, had my work included in compilations such as Dr. Dobson's Night Light Devotional for Couples, and am a regular columnist for Power for Living.
I'm currently working on three contemporary novels for Multnomah-Waterbrook Publishers, a division of Random House. (So fun! Stay tuned to my blog and profile page for release dates!)
I love iced white mochas (with peppermint, please!) from Starbucks, reading the New Testament in Greek, and watching the hummingbirds flit outside the windows of the solarium-turned-office in my log home in California.
But more than that, I love reading horse books with my 9-year-old daughter, doing workbooks with my 5-year-old daughter, playing chase-and-giggle with my 3-year-old twins (again, both girls!), and cuddling with my new baby boy. In my free time, between loads of laundry, changing diapers, and picking up toys, I run an engineering firm and a construction consulting firm, and of course, write!
I have a bachelor's degree in Chemistry (of all things!) from Stanford University and a Masters in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary (hence, my love of New Testament Greek). And that's all about me. :-)

Hi Friends,
So, I'm sitting staring at my little "News Feed" box on my Facebook page, and I can't even figure out anything to say. I want to write, "I'm tired. I quit." But I don't. Because I can't quit. I've got a lot of critters who depend on me...

Hi Friends,
This week I've been contemplating life with God and realizing what a wild ride it is. Tears of sorrow over Oreo's death, awe at how God used that time, weariness over all that must be done just to keep things going around here, encoura...

Hi Friends,
As some of you already know, our little horse, Oreo, died in our arms on Friday. And I will never be same.
Not so much because I've lost a special, wonderful horse that we all loved, but because in her passing, God showed us His gr...
