Andrea
Andrea Little couldn’t hide her dismay. She looked at the woman in disbelief.

“We are partnering with a pastor and his wife in Robinsville, near Grand Rapids, Michigan,” Mrs. Vaser told her. “They or someone they approve of from their congregation will sponsor you, furnishing room and board for as long as needed until you’re settled. You’ll meet eligible men who want to court you, but you aren’t obligated to choose any of them if you don’t want to. You can find a job and live independently if you prefer. However, the reverend and his wife or your host family will make sure you’re in a safe situation, even securing a chaperone if needed.”

Mrs. Vaser frowned. “I expected more enthusiasm. This is quite an excellent opportunity for you.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

What did the woman expect? All Andrea could think about was being kicked from the orphan house, the only home she’d ever known. Now, her wonderful position of teaching the subjects she loved – quilting, sewing, and literature – would be stripped from her. Would she even be able to quilt in Michigan?

She made up her mind right then. She wouldn’t give up her quilting.

Landon Falls

Christian Fantasy

by Shannon Elliott

Landon Falls

When seventeen-year-old Chase Allen touches someone, he is inundated by every sin they’ve committed. To minimize human contact, Chase keeps to himself at home and school. But when his mother’s death abandons him to the cruel despotism of his abusive grandfather, he follows an inexorable calling by an unknown power to seek out his destiny in a world he doesn’t understand. Led to the seemingly bucolic small town of Landon Falls, he encounters an ancient evil that holds the town in its grasp and meets the town’s new preacher, Frank Williams, who is oddly immune to Chase’s sixth sense.
Addison Landon recently arrived in Landon Falls with her husband Turner, heir to the Landon Mining Company fortune. Pregnant with their first child, Addison is excited to make such a wealthy, powerful, benevolent family her own. But a price must be paid for the Landons to continue their powerful hold on the town, and Addison’s unborn child is the fee. Forced to choose between love of child and husband, Addison meets Chase, who causes her to doubt the narrative her new family has sold her. Little does she know the chilling secrets buried in this town’s history and deep beneath Landon Falls. If Chase, Frank, and Addison are to confront the true horror of Landon Falls, each must make a choice that could cost their lives.
