Hello to all my brothers and sisters in Christ! Just want to let you know that the first book in a series I have been writing about my history heroes, La Fayette and his courageous wife, Adrienne, has been published! It is called Dear Heart: Nest of Doves, and it is currently on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format at the following linked page:

www.amazon.com/Dear-Heart-Karen-Evonne-Cunningham/dp/B099TJ6M68/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=dear+heart%3A+nest+of+doves+book&qid=1629158703&sr=8-2

This is a work of Christian historical fiction that I have been working on since 2011, and I am so happy to see it in print at last! Adrienne and her mother and sisters are some of my heroes of the faith, and you can see a portrait of her in the image I use here at the forum.

I'm not sure how many people still remember who La Fayette is... To the United States, he was considered a founding father--our youngest founding father--and a beloved Hero of Two Worlds. I'm hoping that perhaps, due to the loving witness of his wife, he might toward the end of his life have become a Christian. It's my hope to meet him and all his family when we find ourselves in our heavenly home.

Blessings to you all! I am celebrating!

My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. (Psalm 119:148)

Thank you, Gary! I so appreciate that! Book Two is now in the editing phase, lest anyone might think it will take me another 10 years to finish the next installment, LOL!

Thank you, Mike! The handle whatif just represents the question I ask every morning... What if today is the day Jesus comes back? How I want that to be today!

Thank you, Natalie! I'm celebrating! One of the best things was being able to surprise my father with my very own paperback a few days ago. He's been asking me off and on for a few years now, "Are you still writing?" He was so surprised to see it, and it made me very happy.

It's fun for me to find references, and it seems very rare in modern-day books. He is called our "forgotten hero."
