More Than Conquerers (2010)
True love ignites their passionate pursuit of His call With violent crime on the rise and the political climate changing throughout certain parts of Mexico, the opportunity for open Christian witness, particularly in some areas of Chiapas State, is rapidly decreasing. Hector Rodriguez pastors a small church in the tourist-popular border town of Tijuana. He also routinely carries Bibles deeper into the hostile areas of Mexico, where he ministers despite increasing difficulty and persecution. Hectors mother accompanied him on one of those trips and felt God called her to stay in the little village of San Juan Chamula, where she uses the Scriptures to teach reading to the families who are open to it. In retaliation for Hectors bringing the Bibles into areas hostile to Christians and in an effort to dissuade him from continuing to expand his ministry there, Hectors mother is murdered. Hector must decide if he will continue his work despite his worries about protecting his wife and children.

No Greater Love (2010)
Forbidden romance, an unlikely martyr and an even more unlikely hero. Orphaned four years earlier when their parents, active in the African National Congress ANC movement against apartheid, were murdered16-year-old Chioma and her 15-year-old brother Masozi now live and work on an Afrikaner familys farm. When Chioma and Andrew, the farm owners son, find themselves attracted to one another, tragedy revisits their lives. Chioma escapes to join an ANC rebel band in her effort to survive and gain revenge for her family and culture. When cultures clash in life-or-death struggles, Chioma must choose between violence and revengeor forgiveness and selfless love. Loosely based on historical events and set near Pretoria, South Africa, in the violent upheaval prior to ANC leader Nelson Mandelas release from prison in 1990 and his ascendance to the presidency of South Africa, this story of forbidden romance produces an unlikely martyr who is replaced by one even more unlikely.

The Train-Of Thought Writing Method: Practical, User-Friendly Help for Beginning Writers (0)
It is said that writing is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. I absolutely agree, and I'm sure most successful writers would echo my sentiments: Inspiration is the easy part. Over the years I have spoken with and taught beginning writers from all around the world, in all sorts of settings. I have helped them review, edit, and rewrite their work, and I have found one common thread among those would-be writers who eventually become published authors: They are willing to devote themselves to the not-so-easy part of writing-the 90 percent perspiration. As I worked with these many writers I discovered what I consider to be the simplest and most practical writing method available-the train-of-thought method. This excellent, well known writing method did not originate with me, but it seems no one had ever taken the time to put the method in book form. I therefore decided to do so myself. This is not a book about proper grammar or punctuation, or how best to choose the voice or set the scene for your great American novel. There are already countless books covering those subjects, if that's what you're looking for. But if you want to know how best to take your thoughts and dreams and put them into a clear, compelling, readable manuscript, then this is the book for you. Having personally seen the train-of-thought writing method help so many new writers learn to organize, write, and polish their ideas into successful manuscripts, I offer this book to those who would do the same. May it direct and encourage you as you enter into the 90 percent perspiration phase of your writing career-the serious phase through which true writers are formed.

Prison Fellowship is featuring My Son John at http://www.prisonfellowship.org/inside-out/november-2009

First, to know more about me, check out my website at www.kathimacias.com. If you sign my guestbook, you'll automatically be entered into my monthly book-of-your-choice drawing. Please take a moment to stop by my blog as well at http://kathieasywritermacias.blogspot.com
Now, who am I? Well, I'm a California girl, born and raised, and I'm married to my junior high/high school sweetheart, Al. We have three grown sons and nine grandchildren, and in our occasional spare time, we ride a Harley--hence, the names "Big Al" and "Easy Writer."
I've been in love with words for as long as I can remember and never wanted to be anything but an author. God has blessed me to publish seventeen of my own books (three more currently under contract), and to ghostwrite/collaborate on countless others. I have also worked as an editor at Gospel Light Publishing, and I still do quite a bit of freelance editing. Most amazing is that God has taken this "I'd rather die than be a public speaker" wallflower and brought me to the point of being a passionate public speaker with a heart for missions. In fact, I won the "2008 Member of the Year" award from AWSA--nothing short of a miracle from this former "I'd rather die than be a public speaker" wimp!
I currently serve as spiritual adviser for CAN (Christian Authors Network) and also Set Free Today Ministries, as well as being involved in several other writers/speakers groups. And I have a fantastic agent, Tamela Hancock Murray, who is also a ShoutLife member and a dear friend. (Thanks for introducing me to this group, Tamela!)
My husband and I, along with my 88-year-old mom who lives with us, attend Nuevo Community Church; we live in a great little community called Homeland, about midway between LA and San Diego.
Looking forward to getting to know you all! And please drop by my website at www.kathimacias.com or my blog http://kathieasywritermacias.blogspot.com/. |
