Break the Leg to Bend the Knee publication!

Posted in News, Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 2, 2023| Leave a Comment »

So, it’s July again! I just published a new adult romance/ dystopian novel entitled Break the Leg to Bend the Knee. I just published it on June 28th via Smashwords. It’s been listed as adult since I didn’t feel as though some of the content is suitable for children. My other books are young adult.

Here is its summary:

After the world that she knew falls apart, a woman named Genevieve seeks refuge at a local hospital. It is in the course of her duties as a doctor’s assistant that Genevieve first encounters the Guild, a militant organization of formidable men. Her encounter is in the form of an enigmatic man named Roan Phillips. If Roan were typical of the Guild, the only thing Genevieve would have to worry about is losing her heart. But unfortunately, it turns out another man, the sadistic Gregory, is far more typical of the Guild. And because of him, Genevieve is at high risk of losing her life.

Since I had to resubmit it due to a formatting error, it will take a bit longer for it to be reapproved for the premium catalog. It’s available at four stores right now:

Rakuten kobo USA: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/break-the-leg-to-bend-the-knee

Rakuten kobo Canada: https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/break-the-leg-to-bend-the-knee

Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1415973

I am working on approving a paperback version via Draft2Digital. It’s at the printing stage. Apparently, there is a technical issue with the Amazon paperback stores involving ISBN numbers. Until it’s resolved, if you want a paperback copy of Mind Master Chronicles: Labyrinth or Mind Master Chronicles: Puppet on a String, you should probably purchase them through the following stores:

Labyrinth:

Barnes and Noble Ebook/ paperback: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mind-master-chronicles-jennifer-alice-chandler/1143138689

Books A Million paperback: https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Mind-Master-Chronicles/Jennifer-Alice-Chandler/9798215803240

Eden.co.uk paperback: https://www.eden.co.uk/christian-books/books-for-teens/youth-and-teen-fiction/science-fiction-and-fantasy-for-youth-and-teens/mind-master-chronicles-labyrinth/

Saxo paperback: https://www.saxo.com/dk/mind-master-chronicles-labyrinth_bog_9798215803240

Puppet on a String:

Barnes and Noble Ebook/ paperback: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/2940166053503

Books A Million paperback: https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Mind-Master-Chronicles/Jennifer-Alice-Chandler/9798223459040?id=8883344300895

Eden.co.uk paperback: https://www.eden.co.uk/christian-books/christian-fiction-for-children/age-11-to-13/fantasy-stories-age-11-to-13/mind-master-chronicles-puppet-on-a-string/

Saxo paperback: https://www.saxo.com/dk/mind-master-chronicles-puppet-on-a-string_bog_9798223459040

Like I mentioned, it will take a bit more time before the paperback version of Break the Leg to Bend the Knee is available.

I tracked the store links down myself. Periodically, I plan to Duck Duck Go my books, so I can keep up-to-date on which stores are carrying them. Saxo is apparently from the Netherlands. That’s pretty exciting for me. Also exciting is that I’ve already sold one copy maybe two of Break the Leg to Bend the Knee! Thank you to whomever purchased it. It means a lot to me!

Finally, all three of my published ebooks will be free in July at the Smashwords store as part of their yearly sale.

Thanks for reading this and have a blessed day!

Editing burn out/ print links

Posted in Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 19, 2023| Leave a Comment »

I’ve been proofreading/ editing a lot today. I think I reached my limit. I have put a pause on writing this week, so I can save my brain energy for editing. So far I’m meeting my goals. Meanwhile, I am adding paperback/ print links for Labyrinth. I tracked down some vendors that are selling my book! I can’t say it’s an exclusive list. Since I’ve sold some paperback books, I’ve decided to release a paperback version of Puppet on a String. I’m getting it ready right now.

God respects free will.

Posted in Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , on June 18, 2023| Leave a Comment »

God respects free will. He made us in His image. He made us into beings capable of choice. Free will is not the same as the human inclination towards sin. Free will is our capacity to make choices, our ability to choose God. Rejecting sin is not the same as rejecting a person. Sin is like a disease that’s killing us. Jesus restored and restores our ability to withstand our sinful nature and to choose God over sin with His sacrifice. He is the Good Shepherd who leads His sheep and rescues the lost sheep.

We lost our free will when we listened to Satan and rebelled against God. We then became slaves to our sin. When God granted us free will it wasn’t with the intent for us to use our free will to choose sin. We didn’t have sin when human beings were created by Him. Satan, as an external influencer, induced us to sin. We are like addicts, constantly drawn to various sins and oftentimes we use our free will to choose to give in to temptation and reject God.

Satan wants us to return to being slaves to our addiction to sin, to strip us of our free will, to make us mindless automatons incapable of real choice. He wants us to be condemned as he condemned himself when he rebelled against God. Satan is not our friend, and he doesn’t respect our free will.
