The suspense thriller Rooms by James L. Rubart challenges assumptions about the supernatural world while at the same time exploring decisions that people make in regards to their souls and eternity.
In A Distant Melody, debut novelist Sarah Sundin mixes history, romance and a lesson on waiting on God for His perfect will to be fulfilled.
Sundin brings World War II-era England alive with romance. Allie, who is betrothed to Baxter in an arranged marriage goes off for the week to her college friend's wedding. Meeting a fighter pilot who shows her what love is all about, she begins to forget about her fiancé. Throwing caution to the wind, Allie finds the courage to follow her heart. As Walter honors his commitment to serve his country, Allie strives for love at all costs.
A Distant Melody is the first in the fictional "Wings of Glory" series centering on the three Novak brothers and the U.S. Eighth Air Force stationed in England during World War II. It's a great escape for readers, a romantic story filled with inspiration, love and adventure. -Andrealynn Boyd

Despite the recent influx of Christian publishers into self-publishing, one of the most successful Christian authors in today's market is no fan of the practice. "Left Behind" author and Christian Writers Guild owner Jerry B. Jenkins called self-publishing a "business transaction," speaking at a writers' group event in Oviedo, Fla., March 7.
Using an example to make his point, he said that if a writer sent a "blank book" with a title, author's name and payment to a vanity publisher, it would be published. Why? "Because it's a business transaction," he said. Jenkins didn't elaborate on the finer points that differ from company to company in the self-publishing world.
Once In a Blue Moon by Leanna Ellis centers on Brynda Seymore, known to her friends as Bryn, a newspaper reporter and obituary writer.
