Alara’s Call Cover Reveal Is Here!

July 21, 2017July 20, 2017 Love2ReadLove2Write Publishing

We are positively thrilled to reveal our newest cover!

Alara’s Call by Kristen Stieffel releases September 19, 2017 from L2L2 Publishing.

From the back cover:

Tales are often told of heroes who fulfill ancient prophecies. Alara’s Call is the tale of a woman who gives new ones.

Alara sees visions of other’s futures, but never her own.

A young clergywoman with a fiery passion for her Telshan faith, she has been assigned to a mission abroad but longs to lead a congregation in her homeland. Her father, the prime minister, jeopardizes her dream and her safety when he coerces her into what he calls a diplomatic mission.

But it’s a ruse.

The trip is meant to end with her marriage to the crown prince of a foreign nation, where members of Alara’s faith are persecuted and women oppressed. All for a trade agreement her father is desperate to enact.

But her mentor intervenes and takes Alara to Dorrel, the suitor she left behind. They believe they are safe, but foreign soldiers are under orders to bring Alara to the king’s palace…by any means necessary.

We also want to thank Sara Helwe of Sara Helwe Digital Arts for another gorgeous cover. This cover artist has been such a blessing to our company, and we are grateful to have her on our team.

And thank you, dear readers, for joining us today.

Happy Reading!

After serving in both advertising and graphic design, Kristen transferred to the newsroom as a page designer and copyeditor. During her ten years in the newsroom, she wrote more than a thousand articles, columns, and opinion pieces.

An ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church USA, Kristen leads adult Bible study classes because it’s way easier than teaching kids. She is also an avid knitter, despite living in Florida.

Cover Reveal for Spark!

March 9, 2017March 8, 2017 Love2ReadLove2Write Publishing

Here it is, finally, the post you’ve all been waiting for:

Spark’s cover reveal!

Wait for it…

Perhaps a little about the book first?

Brenna James wants three things for her sixteenth birthday: to find her history notes before the test, to have her mother return from her business trip, and to stop creating fire with her bare hands.

Yeah, that’s so not happening. Unfortunately.

When Brenna learns her mother is missing in an alternate reality called Linneah, she travels through a portal to find her. Against her will. Who knew portals even existed? But Brenna’s arrival in Linneah begins the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, including a royal murder and the theft of Linneah’s most powerful relic: the Sacred Veil.

Hold up. Can everything just slow down for a sec?

Unwilling yet left with no other choice, Brenna and her new friend Baldwin (Um, hello, Hottie!) pursue the thief into the dangerous woods of Silvastamen and beyond. Exactly what Brenna wanted to do for her sixteenth birthday. Exactly. When they spy an army marching toward Linneah, Brenna is horrified. Can she find the veil, save her mother, and warn Linneah in time?

And more importantly, why on earth doesn’t this alternity have Belgian waffles?

Are you ready for this awesomeness?

Thank you, Sara Helwe Digital Arts, for another fabulous cover!

Cover reveal for Hodgepodge

September 22, 2016September 26, 2016 Love2ReadLove2Write Publishing

Hodgepodge: An Anthology by the Heartland Christian Writers will release November 2016 from L2L2 Publishing.

This is the second anthology released by the Heartland Christian Writers Group, but the first published through our publishing company.

From the back cover:

A collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and prose, this book is truly what the title suggests: a hodgepodge of literary delight.

Heartland Christian Writers began in 2006 when Janet Hommel Mangas decided to lead a Bible study for writers based upon Marlene Bagnull’s book, Write His Answer. Joyce Long agreed to co-lead after the study ended, and this writing group has been going strong ever since. A place of refuge for writers from all walks of life, the Heartland Christian Writers’ group embraces writers at any level who wish to learn more of their craft and advance their skill.

L2L2 Publishing is pleased to bring you this anthology.

The contributing authors are Jane Bowman, Michele Israel Harper, Mary Hershberger, Nicole Jonas, Mary Kay Jones, Joyce Long, Kathy Morgan, Pati Page, Lorraine Richardson, Hannah Rollett, Linda Samaritoni, and Debbie Scales. All have attended this writers’ group for many years.

The Heartland Christian Writers meet in Greenwood, IN at Mount Pleasant Christian Church’s Community Life Center, and they welcome any writer who desires to grow. Meetings are held on the third Monday of every month at 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM.

Although a deviation of the speculative fiction we normally publish, we cannot wait to hear what you think of this inspirational collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and prose.

Happy Reading!
