  1. Hi - I recently wrote and released a God-honoring Christmas novel called A Gift Most Rare. I'd love to provide a copy for review. Please advise if that would be possible. If you'd like, please also visit my website for more information. Thank you in advance! Tom

  2. Shantelle—

    I’m Jason William Karpf, author of the upcoming Christian sci-fi novel, Brimstone 1. I’ve also written a free study guide with more than 500 exercises to facilitate the novel as a learning assignment.

    Jason@jasonkarpf.com

    Brimstone 1 is a mature novel with frequent action along with sexual situations—all depictions PG-13, on the level of a typical Marvel movie. Homeschooled 11th and 12th graders are a target readership as well as Christian college students and small group members.

    Email me and I’ll send a link to an online folder containing an advance reader copy for review along with other materials. The galley for the study guide will be available in February. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
