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 . . .

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,
Yesterday it didn't just rain around here, the sky dumped buckets of water. I think we got about 5 inches. And with the rain we got leaks, pools, rivers, streams, ponds, and a lot of wet everywhere. Bryan spent the afternoon siphoni...

Hi Friends,
Where do you worship? I was reading Psalm 100 this morning in my (too brief) personal time, and remembered some reflections I'd written a while ago. I'm considering these thoughts again this morning, thinking about the question: Where ...

LIFE: From Your Friends at
Lingk2us.com
What makes you uniquely special? What would you do if time or money were of no object? Or what big idea have you been quietly nursing as time passes by?
Many of us spend our lives trying to answer these questions to no avail while others push these thoughts aside and get on with the business of practical living. As human beings, we are all not only born with inherent gifts, talents and abilities, but also posses the capacity to directly or indirectly impact our immediate surroundings. Yet somehow, much of it gets lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. Think about the things you did as a kid, when you were limited only by your imagination?before paying the mortgage became the priority or well intended friends and family members callously wrote on the tablets of your heart. If you could mentally revisit that simpler time; obvious clues about your authentic self and your life's purpose would become apparent. Were you the 'go to' kid in the block? You know, the popular one!The one who's natural leadership ability and 'Big' ideas rallied the group into action. Or maybe you were the more creative type. The kid who explored every hue under the rainbow and through the use of odds and ends and other homespun materials, created imaginative designs that far superseded the ability of his peers. Whoever you are; remember that your true self (the kid you have been carrying with you all along) along side time, money and your ability to dream big are God given assets to help you reach your fullest potential. And remember that as long as you have the gift of life it's never to late explore the possibilities.
