Book Description

July 25, 2005
In the quiet town of Walnut Grove, something evil lurks within the occupants’ minds. Only those dwelling twenty feet below Hattie’s Bar and Grill are safe from the malevolent “holy water” handed out during Sunday church service. On the outside, the townsfolk are clean and friendly, but beneath the surface evil creeps toward an explosive and destructive end. Ex-preacher Kirk David has come back to face his past and put to rest any lingering hope his sister might still be found after disappearing ten years ago. Once he arrives, he realizes God has sent him back for a more pressing reason. He must help a Cherokee Indian, Tom, find a stream blessed by an unknown prophet before a false preacher destroys the town. Lenora Elayne dreams of a savior who comes on wings and thunder, to help her save Walnut Grove from an evil man bent on destroying her precious town. God has given her charge over a pregnant teenager whose child will do great things in His name. All Lenora really wants to do is convince people that God loves them no matter what their sin, but her faith is shaky, and she fears she’ll fail with the heavy burden placed upon her shoulders. Together Kirk and Lenora find love and a renewed faith in God while trying to unravel seemingly unrelated events rushing toward a battle between darkness and light.

More About the Author

What I wouldn't do to return to childhood one more time and experience fishing from the bank as a little girl, especially in the dark. I'm country to the core. I fish, camp, swim in the lake, eat from a garden, drive a pickup truck, work outside, live in jeans and T-shirts, and my accent is a blend of country and southern. My favorite get-together is a barbecue in the back yard. I prefer tea to beer, but prefer Diet Coke over both those. I prefer the Outback Steak House to The Four Seasons Restaurant. I believe in God and the saving grace of His son Jesus. I believe in miracles and fairy tales, and I learned the secret of hope from a Dean Koontz novel (Frankenstein: City of Night).

I have an unstoppable curiosity about the world around me. I want to explore the coast of North Carolina, explore as many castles of the world as I can, visit haunted places all over the United States, and I absolutely love old graveyards! I know, it sounds a bit morbid, but I love all things strange and unusual. I want to see Australia someday, visit Ireland, Italy and Egypt.

During the summer months I like to swim, hike, camp, fish and just be outdoors. Other hobbies include reading, writing poetry, and exploring the Internet. I also love music! I listen to country, 80's rock and some 90's rock. Bon Jovi is my favorite rock band, followed by Savage Garden, Aerosmith, Matchbox Twenty & Green Day. In country, Tim McGraw is my favorite. I also like Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Faith Hill, Sara Evans, Trisha Yearwood, Clay Walker, Kellie Coffey, Chad Brock. I could go on and on! My favorite Christian Rock band is Petra. I also like Point of Grace, Steven Curtis Chapman and Carmen.

I love pretty pictures, puppies and kitties and have a soft spot for soldiers. Daisies are my favorite flowers. Ideals, Cowboy & Indians, and Fate are among my favorite magazines. I love the smell of vanilla, honey-suckle and Stetson Cologne for men. My favorite cartoons are Scooby Doo, Rocko's Modern Life, Pinky & The Brain, and SpongeBob Squarepants.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 stars., August 24, 2005
This review is from: Wings of Thunder (Paperback)
Former preacher Kirk David rides back into his hometown of Walnut Grove after a protracted absence. When he enters the church in which he grew up, he is immediately confronted with the face of evil incarnate sitting beside the pulpit. Unprepared to face the devil in such an unexpected place, he exits, heading to a local bar where he finds less room for evil to flourish than in the church. He also finds a young woman working there, Lenora, who helps him learn the truth about Walnut Grove. Since the advent of the new preacher, evil has pervaded the hamlet, and it's up to Kirk and Lenora to stop it. Somehow, they must break the mind and spiritual control the Devil has on almost everyone who lives there. Kirk thought his calling had ended, but now he will need all the gifts God has given him more than ever.

*** Though knowing a bit more of the backstory would have been interesting, nonetheless, this simple, yet profound story has a very true message. Christians who enjoyed the X - Files will surely enjoy this, for there are some similiar points of comparison. ***
