A Sister's Justice A Marishka Tanya Alexei Mystery (2009)
Now Available
A Sister's Justice
I wake up every morning remembering two things, what happened to Anna andwhat happened to me. What happened to Anna overpowers what happened to me. I candeal with the pain, Anna can't It is only knowing that and by the Grace of God that Icontinue to fight .
I will not end this fight until the Lord tells me it is time to. I truly believe this isa calling from God.
It is not about an eye for an eye. It's about giving back childhood to thechildren. I don't want to see anyone else have that stripped away from them.
Anna walks along so lost and so sad. What can I do to help my sister? I have todo something, I pray of course, but I also fight for the children. That is for Anna.
Maybe if Anna hadn't been raped, she wouldn't be walking the streets, selling herbody. Maybe she would feel better about herself, maybe she would be in church with us,instead of selling her body, to men who could care less whether she lived or died.
I guess I could wonder a thousand times, but that doesn't change the fact thatAnna was hurt, hurt in the worst way.
I just can't help but feel guilty over what happened to her. I still ask myself What If?
I guess in a way working to help the children, allows me to put the fact that I have been shot and paralyzed in the back of my mind for a short time.
Deep down I know she knows that but Anna needs some reminding, so that iswhat Sophia and I are doing, we are reminding her how much Christ loves her. It's animportant reminder that is crucial. We need to do all we can for Anna. I am afraid thatall we can is not enough though.
I guess what they say is true we can't help someone who doesn't want to behelped.
" We love you Anna, I hope you know that."
" I don't think I deserve to be loved."
" Anna you deserve to be loved, we are your sisters and there is no condition onour love, we do not love you only when things are right?"
" Why is it you are trying to comfort me? You were the one who was shot, andyou are still trying to fix me. Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
" I don't think we need to focus on should or shouldn't in this case. I will just dowhat I feel like I need to do, what I am called to do.'
" Don't you give yourself a break?"
" Anna you should know me well enough by now to answer that."
" I am going to keep praying and fighting for you, and someday I believe you willcome back to God."
" God doesn't want me back? I am too dirty."
" Anna you know as well as I do, what happened to you before was not your fault,and what's happened since can be forgiven."
The talks end sooner than I want them too. At least now she is letting me talkthough. For the longest time it was like Anna ignored the existence of Sophia and I. Nowat least she lets me talk and listens to me.
I think one thing that this shooting did, is that it drew us closer asa family. My sister is slowly coming back to me, and maybe someday soon I will be ableto lead her to the Lord. The thought is comforting..
I talk to Anna in anyway I can, and I try to help her, but there are some things Ican not do. I can not take the pain my sisters feels away, nor can I take the fact that shewas raped away. I wish I could, but I can not, believe me if I could do anything to changethose facts I would, but I can't so I do all I can to try and stop others from hurting children.

With A Little Help (2006)
We can all use a little Help, for Christians we turn to the Lord above, but the Lord uses the people he brings forth in our lives. This collection of articles shows that even Christians sometimes need help, and how even with a society that frowns on anything they deem as religious that is to say Christian we must stand our ground.
9/11 brought this nation together in prayer, even in this great tragedy, (especially in a time of tragedy like 9/11 was ) the Lords hand is evident, and in the unimaginable sadness it was evident that the Lord was there with the nation. Especially with those at ground zero on the planes that went down and in the Pentagon! Prayer vigils were held, andle light memorials, and Gods hand was evident in the tireless work of the heros who risked their life to save others at Ground zero, and yet we still want to talk about taking God out of the pledge, we have no right and even if this law is passed it will not change the fact that we are One Nation Under God! This nation, this world, the universe would not be here if God had not created them. Lets think twice before we try to take God out of our lives, because without him our lives are miserable.

Hope Valley (2005)
Hope Valley is an Idylic place until one night when one of their well loved highschool students is shot and paralyzed, and the realization that it can happen even here hit homes...
Anna had a sweet presence about her that made even the most hardened of hearts want to stop and listen to her. She spoke with such conviction that nobody could accuse her of being false. Anna wasn't perfect and she understood that but she was forgiven. She wanted others to have the same eternal security she had. She could rest assured in the fact that when she was called home she would
enter the gates of Paradise.
Excerpt
" She is in recovery. " He said looking at her Mother, but directing the news to everyone " But the bullet was lodged in her spine. She will probably never walk again unless the Lord should see fit to heal her."

Missing at Midnight (2005)
Sarah and Kirsten find out secrets about there families past after Kirsten ends up missing, when she finds her sister Sarah realizes that the fight for there life has only just begun...
I actually felt sorry for this man, because I knew it was our so called Father who left this man up to this. I wondered what he would be like if he had not been around my Father, I imagined him in college, or maybe getting married and having a family, the man we had thought was our Father had ruined yet another man's life, and it made me angry inside, made me want to fight harder and harder until we got out of their.
Lord I need to have the fighting spirit, I need to do what is right and whatever will get us out of here without compromising our beliefs.
The basement fell quiet again after our captor had come in brought us food and left. Kirsten and I were lost in our own thoughts, she was probably remembering as I was life before we were in that basement, a time when we were both happy and free

A Collection of Memories (2004)
He touched me,
Made me whole,
With nail scarred hands,
And blood dripping from his brow.
He touched me,
Took my life,
Made me complete,
With pierced skin,
Where the nails dug in.
He shined his light,
Restored my sight,
Took away fear,
Set me free,
From the grip of Satan's clutch.
With Nail scarred hands,
He gave his life for me,
Saved me from my sins,
Set me free.

Relfections on Life (2003)
Book Description
The poems in Reflections On Life deal with everything from faith and family, to friendship, as well as the joys and the sorrows in life. Many of the poems come from things I have experienced or those around me have experienced, but not all of them come from personal experience. However, they all deal with life in one way or another. Many of the poems reflect faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and many reflect on my love for children and for life in general. The poems in this collection were written over a nine-year period, some when I was still in school, so some of the poems reflect the thoughts and feelings of a high school student. Some reflect the baby years in my Christian walk, and many allow the reader to see how important friendship is for me, as well as my faith.
