War is imminent. Evil has overtaken the world, although the world does not know it. God must intervene on the behalf of those who love Him, and a war is brewing that will decide supremacy.
God’s plan unfolds, and His subjects must retain their faith in the midst of every evil the Father of Lies can throw at them. Lydia, because of her strong faith, is particularly seized upon by Vlad, a demonic vampire. He brings her to the brink of despair, unknowingly causing her to cling even harder to her Lord and Savior. When she is miraculously saved, Vlad finds and then harasses her friends and family, unaware of the angels and saints who are on the brink of attack against him and his minions.
The faithful are tested to the ends of their abilities. Will they be able to stand fast against the power of Death, remembering that God is with them? Or will the Father of Lies rise triumphant?
This book is available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
How did you come up with the title for your book? Does it have any special meaning?
It comes from a church hymn of the same name. The title is “Be Not Afraid”. There’s a verse I added to the book about standing before the powers of Hell. Very fitting.
Who was your favorite character and why?
St. Therese—she is my patron saint, and I would hope to have the help and support she gave Lydia.
Does your book have any underlying theme, message, or moral?
God is all-loving and all-forgiving, and is available for help and forgiveness to all, no matter what His people name Him.
What would/could a reader or reviewer say about this book that shows they “get” you as an author?
That the mercy of God prevails, even through the darkest times.
Give us an excerpted quote from your favorite review of this book:
…the Vampire represents the World…the struggles that we have… drugs,…addictions, theft, murder, cheating, lying, stealing. (They)suck the life out of us when we give in to them.
