New Books for Teens from Stephanie Perry Moore
Stephanie, describe yourself for our visitors.
Hello, my name is Stephanie Perry Moore and I’m a Christian Fiction novelist. I’ve been writing now for 10 years and I have about 30 titles in print. Most of my books are series for young people, but I have adult titles as well.
What I most enjoy is going to the movies and eating seafood. Inspiration to write comes to me from doing my favorite things. Hanging out with my hubby and three kids is my life’s joy. I’ve wanted to write for tv and film since I was in the 7th grade and I’m still working on that goal. So I say to all young people, knew give up on your dreams.
SNEAK PEEK | Deadly Charm
Deadly Charm
by Claudia Mair Burney
Rocky showed up at my apartment door with an offer that, in his words, I “no coulda refuse.” Or maybe those were Marlon Brando’s words. I couldn’t be sure. My blond, dreadlocked former pastor slash ex-boyfriend locked me into a stare with those big, brown puppy eyes. He’d puffed out his jowls to utter the Godfather’s most famous line, while grazing his cheek with the back of his fingers—an excruciatingly amiss imitation. I’ve seen newborn babies’ smiles more intimidating.
“You look more like a hamster than a mobster, Rock.”
“Hamsters are cool.”
“But less compelling, you must admit.”

Tick, tock, tick, tock…
There it was. The sound that had been growing louder and louder in my brain – until now, it was no longer background noise. Groaning, I rolled over in bed and pulled a pillow over my face. I peeked out and cast an annoyed glance at my nightstand clock, but it was digital, so it couldn’t be blamed for the relentless ticking in my head. No, it was my own internal clock – the proverbial biological one.
BOOK REVIEW | Talks Your Dad Never Had With You
TALKS YOUR DAD NEVER HAD WITH YOU
by Dr. Harold D. Davis
God created fathers to love, protect, support and encourage their daughters to live a life of integrity and purity. However, many fathers have failed in their responsibility. The father/daughter relationship is especially crucial in today’s society. Across the country many young ladies suffer from the lack of a loving father, whether present or distant. Every young lady longs to know and be close to her father- to chat with him, to laugh with him, and receive the assurance from a needed hug or talk. Talks Your Dad Never Had with You gives us a loving father’s voice. Dr. Harold D. Davis’s biblical knowledge, practical advice and "telling it like it is" tone, offers young women hard truth and tough love on issues such as purity, boys, sex, and their value.
