Good afternoon, Arrowheads! This week, I’m excited to share that I’m once again participating in the annual Black Friday through Cyber Monday eBook sale hosted by fellow author Perry Kirkpatrick. This sale features hundreds of clean and Christian eBooks that are either available for free or $0.99.
Which of My Books Are Featured?
GENRE: Christian Nonfiction for Writers and Authors
PRICE: Free (It’s actually free year-round in case you miss the sale!)
SYNOPSIS:
Is writing your spiritual gift? Do you feel as if God has placed the calling on your life to write and publish books for Him?
Fantastic. Because Writing by Faith is the exact book you need to get started.
In Writing by Faith, Christian author Allyson Kennedy shares her testimony of the ups and downs of her author career thus far. Covering twelve aspects of Christian authorship, Allyson explores how to:
- Create and maintain a faith-based mindset for writing
- Combat seeds of doubt and discontentment sown by the Enemy
- Allow God to lead the way to fulfilling His purpose for you
Writing by Faith is not a get-rich-quick scheme for Christian authors, teaching you how to make millions in the Christian book market. Instead, this book guides Christian authors, whether you are just starting out, or have published several books, in how to align your mindset and goals with God’s and make Him known in the book community.
Complete with reflection questions at the end of each chapter, by the end of the book, you will have cultivated a fresh, God-centered attitude toward your purpose of being a Christian author, and will be spiritually charged to take it on, with God by your side.
GENRE: Contemporary Christian Upper Middle Grade
PRICE: $0.99 (Discounted from $3.99)
SYNOPSIS:
Middle school is bad enough. It’s worse when you’re the shy kid.
Victoria Harding has been called many names during her time at Grahamwood Junior High: Loner. Stalker. Teacher’s Pet. Kids have even joked that she’s formed an evil plot against the school, because you can never trust the quiet ones.
But Victoria is armed with nothing but her vivid imagination, content with laying low in her own little world, where she’s able to battle against the school’s dragons and trolls with her quick wit and confidence. If only that could become her reality.
Victoria finds peace in silence, but her social anxiety is deafening. When her new neighbor, Aiden, comes knocking on her door, all Victoria wants to do is stay within the comfortable confines of her castle, alone with her daydreams and mystery books. But Aiden has another plan and does the one thing few have ever done for her: listen.
Perfect for fans of Flipped and Restart, Speak Your Mind is a Christian upper middle grade novel for shy tween readers who just want to be heard.
GENRE: Contemporary Christian Young Adult Romance
SERIES: The Ballad of Emery Brooks (Book 1)
PRICE: $0.99 (This is the book’s permanent price in case you miss the sale!)
SYNOPSIS:
Never settle for anything less.
A combination hopeless romantic and old soul trapped in a teenager’s body, closet musician Emery Brooks wonders if she’ll ever find a love as timeless as her grandparents’. Fear of judgment and social alienation due to her older brother’s past mistakes render her incapable of writing a love song. Still, Emery holds fast to the ideals her Grandma Adeline instilled in her from a young age, vowing to allow God to handwrite her love story, to never settle for anything less.
That is, until love cynic Sawyer Alston enters her world. Broken by the wrath of his parents’ failed marriage, Sawyer has been uprooted from everything he’s ever known and now sees love as a void of empty promises. When Emery and Sawyer meet due to their mothers’ rekindled friendship, Emery soon realizes she’s in over her head.
For, despite her resistance, her first crush, her first glimpse at love, involves a boy who doesn’t believe in love at all.
A tale of love and loss reminiscent of old-fashioned values with a bit of sass and music mixed in, The Crush is perfect for fans of A Walk to Remember and In 27 Days.
GENRE: Contemporary Christian Young Adult Romance
SERIES: The Ballad of Emery Brooks (Book 2) – Please note that this series must be read in order!
PRICE: $0.99 (Discounted from $3.99)
SYNOPSIS:
When you’ve lost all you’ve desperately sought to keep, why bother hoping for a second chance?
With her pent up faith in love unraveling, former hopeless romantic Emery Brooks is a shell of the girl who once craved a love story that mirrored her grandparents’ fifty-year marriage. Taking all efforts to guard her heart, she isolates herself from everything she’s ever loved, including her music and faith, now battling the same cynicism she worked so hard to protect Sawyer from.
When Emery is asked to post the video for the song she and Sawyer wrote online, her first instinct is to resist. No one understands their story. No one can relate to what they’ve gone through. Grief should not be publicized.
Resistance proves to be futile, as the video plunges Emery into a world of new possibilities. Will Emery succumb to her stubborn tendencies and avoid all risks, or learn to leap again into the comfort of God’s arms, despite uncertainty?
Nicholas Sparks meets contemporary YA in this tear-jerking continuation of The Ballad of Emery Brooks trilogy. Fans of A Walk to Remember will appreciate this throwback to timeless romance, along with the themes of overcoming hardships and learning the basis of faith.

I also have a bonus surprise for y’all! For the first time ever, the third and final book in The Ballad of Emery Brooks trilogy, The Dream, is on sale!

GENRE: Contemporary Christian Young Adult Romance
SERIES: The Ballad of Emery Brooks (Book 3) – Please note that this series must be read in order!
PRICE: $1.99 (Discounted from $3.99)
SYNOPSIS:
When you know God made you for more, why fall into the trap of settling for anything less?
Emery Brooks has carried a song in her heart since she was that little girl who took center stage during her family’s jam sessions years ago. Now that God has revealed a new opportunity to chase that pent-up dream of hers and she’s determined to freefall into His arms, will that be enough to guarantee a life of stability?
As Emery journeys into her twenties, she’s bombarded with well-meaning yet discouraging advice, and begins to compare her path to others’. Is she a failure for having no desire to take the beaten path, or is she merely doing what her Grandma Adeline always taught her to do: allowing God to write her story, and never settling for anything less?
In the conclusion of The Ballad of Emery Brooks trilogy, will Emery at last see her greatest dreams fulfilled, or is happiness a concept lost on her entirely?
