Ending Fear releases in two days! Be sure to pre-order your ebook copy for $2.99 before it goes up to $4.99 after the launch.

And on Thursday, we are having a Facebook Release Party to celebrate Ending Fear’s release. Hosted by the author herself, Laura A. Grace, and Michele Israel Harper, this party is overflowing with fun, games, and prizes. See you there!

Check out Deanna’s blog tour and scavenger hunt here (the prize is one copy of Ending Fear as well as its companion coloring book). The posts have been wonderful this past week, and we look forward to the coming week’s blog stops as well.

Thank you for joining us to celebrate our newest release, Ending Fear by Deanna Fugett!

Want to be a part of the cover reveal of Alara’s Call by Kristen Stieffel?

We will reveal the cover Friday, July 21st, and we would love for you to share it as well. It is lovely!

We cannot wait to see what marvelous books have been written over this past year!

We are pleased to announce we will be taking submissions at Realm Makers this year!

The conference boasts an incredible lineup of sessions and industry professionals, including Ted Dekker as the keynote speaker.

This also happens to be one of our favorite writers’ conferences, simply because it caters to authors of speculative fiction. What’s not to love? You have to check out this incredible conference.

Do you have a completed manuscript?

Acquisitions Editor Michele Israel Harper and Editorial Assistant Jebraun Clifford will be taking pitches and proposals.

What are we looking for?

Visit the submissions page to find out!

And sign up for a pitch session here.

Also, two of our titles, Rebirth and Zombie Takeover, are finalists for the 2017 Excellence in Editing Award! The winner will be announced at the SoCal Christian Writers’ Conference June 22–24 at Biola University in La Mirada, California and again at Realm Makers.

See the announcement here.

Congratulations Amy Brock McNew and Michele Israel Harper!

Both conferences have incredible sessions, stellar faculty, and keynote speakers you do not want to miss. We cannot recommend SoCal Christian Writers’ Conference and Realm Makers highly enough.

See you there?

Happy Reading!

We have a wonderful lineup of events scheduled for 2017, and we are thrilled to share them with you!

We painfully decided to cut a few of the events we attended last year and hopefully add them back in the following years.

Book Expo America, ACFW, Comic Con Indianapolis, Kingdom Come Festival, and Kokomo Con are all dear to our hearts, and we will do our best to have representatives at their 2018 or 2019 events.

We want to thank all of the amazing bloggers who signed up for Reconciliation’s blog tour! Each of you made Amy Brock McNew’s release week exceptional, and we could not have reached so many of our readers without you.

We also want to give more of our readers the opportunity to visit any of the fun posts Amy and these bloggers worked so hard on.

Also, for those of you who haven’t heard, the first book in the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles, Rebirth, made the long list for the INSPY awards. The judges will be reviewing Rebirth alongside a phenomenal list of Speculative fiction for the top five and ultimately the winner of this year’s INSPY award. (And of course we think that book should be Rebirth, but we may be slightly biased…)

Congratulations, Amy Brock McNew!

And we recently received word that both Zombie Takeover by Michele Israel Harper and Rebirth by Amy Brock McNew have been nominated for a reader’s choice award, the Christian Small Publisher’s Book of the Year Award.

Congratulations, both of you!

Since this is a reader’s choice award, our readers are encouraged to vote for both of our titles. You may vote once, and voting ends on March 31st.

You can vote for our authors here.

To each of our readers, authors, and supporters: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

And Happy Reading!

Our author, Amy Brock McNew, not only writes incredible and intense fiction, she also can make a mean book trailer.

Have you seen the book trailer she created for Rebirth? If not, view it here. The success of this trailer as well as the promotional spots she created for the characters of her novel, Rebirth, prompted her to produce trailers professionally.

The promos for Liz Brantley, Ryland, Blake, and Arie Chayal draw readers further into Rebirth’s world and give you a taste of what Amy can do.

If you would like to learn more about Amaeris Designs Productions, visit their Facebook page or contact Amy with any questions.

Book trailers can be a beautiful and powerful way to show your book, and it is vital to have a professional one. Joanna Penn speaks to the importance of book trailers for marketing your book in this article.

Thank you for joining us today, and we wish Amy the best in her design endeavors.

~The L2L2 Publishing Team

Amy Brock McNew doesn’t just write speculative fiction, she lives and breathes it. Exploring the strange, the supernatural, and the wonderfully weird, Amy pours her guts onto the pages she writes, honestly and brutally revealing herself in the process. Nothing is off-limits. Her favorite question is “what if?” and she believes fiction can be truer than our sheltered and controlled realities. Visit AmyBrockMcNew.com to learn more about this intriguing author.
