Thomas Nelson Fiction plans to release the debut fiction series from Sheila Walsh, Women of Faith speaker and author of numerous books as well as the popular "Gigi, God's Little Princess" picture book series for girls.

Yet to be titled, the first novel in a three-part romantic series about one woman's growing awareness of the presence of angels--developed by Walsh along with novelist Kathryn Cushman--is slated for publication in August 2010.

"Given the current climate of interest in stories featuring interaction between human beings and the supernatural, we believe the time is right for a fiction series about encounters with angels-a series grounded in Scripture and co-authored by two incredibly talented authors," said Allen Arnold, senior vice president and publisher for fiction at Thomas Nelson.

Walsh added: "I find myself at the beginning of a whole new adventure as I take my first step into the world of fiction. God placed a desire in my heart some time ago to study the ministry of angels in the lives of believers and in God's plan of redemption. It has been a life-changing quest."

Besides the "Gigi, God's Little Princess" series, Walsh is author of the Let Go: Live Free of the Burdens All Women Know and Get Off Your Knees & Pray: A Woman's Guide to Life-Changing Prayer--all published by Thomas Nelson.
