The Gregorian year 2017 is coming to an end. It has been a year of both great joy and great challenge.
In 2017 I finished and published "The Third Strand" my second novel in "The Omega Watchers" Series. I was deeply honored when both novels were presented awards by Radiqx Press in the genre of Christian Fiction. At book signings, I met many wonderful readers, made new friends and reconnected with old ones. In the myriad of blessings from being an author, the greatest blessing was hearing from my readers when my novels were a blessing to them in some way.
For my readers that are asking about Book III - I wrote several chapters last spring before life circumstances stepped in and I needed to focus on family; but I have been rethinking the direction I want to go in. I battled with the varying eschatological views and how I could make them work in my story. And today during a braining storming conversation with my good friend and co-researcher (Nathan Brotman) I made the decision for Gabi's future and will rewrite the beginning making drastic changes! I think my readers will be very surprised because I certainly was - this is not where I expected the new storyline to go. After months of wrestling with even writing Book III, I am now excited to continue this author's journey.
September 2lst of this year ended the Hebrew Year 5777 which means "the year of completion" and I am so thankful Book II is completed. The Hebrew Year 5778 is "the year of the open door". My prayer is The Door will open for these books the Holy Spirit has inspired me to write and that no man can close these doors... and for the prophetic ministry and message of these novels to go into spiritual hearts birthing both salvation and revelation.
Readers, please join me in prayer for God's perfect will and nothing less. My prayer for you is open doors of blessings for you and your family this coming year!

Author Interview with Christian Review Guru, Peter Younghusband
It was an honor to once again be interviewed by Peter Younghusband and I want to sincerely thank Peter for taking the time to read my books and personally promote them.
This interview was different from my original interview with Peter on The Omega Watchers in which all of the questions were his. In this interview, the questions were submitted by readers of my novels. Most of the questions were concerning the prophetic content in The Omega Watchers and The Third Strand. There were some pretty tough questions included but I enjoyed answering every one of them and I appreciate so much my readers that submitted them.

To give a lighter mood to my social media and based on the movie possibility, I have a game on "The Omega Watchers" FB page to offer suggestions of what actors to play the main characters. This is just for fun. but I am going to mail a signed copy of my new novel to the winner and post the Winner's picture on my Amazon Author Page, FB Author Page, Google Profile and Blog.
Here's how it will work:
1.Review Guru Peter Younghusband will select a character and we will post it on Facebook Page, "The Omega Watchers". To comment on your suggestion for an an actor/acress, Just click on the link above "Join The Omega Watchers on Facebook"
2. Everyone making suggestions will be put in a drawing and Peter will announce the winner of that character before we move to the next. That winner becomes a Finalist.
3. After the cast is complete I will draw from the Finalists at my Book Signing on May 13th.
4. The winner will receive a signed copy of "The Third Strand" and their picture posted on my author page. Google and blog.
5. It's just for fun, so join in!

Half Hour of Silence in Heaven
Most of my blogs have been about my novels, events, updates, etc. However, as I am studying and researching for Book III in The Omega Watchers Series, I will be sharing some "nuggets" of revelation I am receiving concerning The Book of Revelation.
In Book III Gabriella is at the threshold of the seven years of tribulation which is given in outline form in Daniel and precise detail in John's Revelation. To most, The Book of Revelation is mysterious, confusing, debatable, and been the center of much theological heated discussion.
I have been among those that would read and study the different commentaries to only be more confused. Until! Until I began to study this 2000-year-old Revelation of Jesus our Messiah in the context of the first century in which it was written. A time when all Jews studied and understood the Torah (or often referred to as the Law of Moses - the first five books of the Bible). The early church understood the connections John was making and that needed no interpretation, but through the 20 centuries of time and especially as our society became westernized we have lost the roots of the Hebraic connections that define, connect and enlighten us to what John was revealing.
I believe the prophetic vision John had not only gave the events of The Great Tribulation but connected them to the Temple worship in Israel and the appointed days - The Seven Feasts (moadim) of Yahweh - given in Lev. 23. It really only makes sense knowing these seven holy convocations were both actual Hebrew events and "rehearsals" of future prophetic events all revealing Jesus from his first coming to the final Kingdom on Earth. There is so much depth that it is impossible to share it in a blog and honestly I have only begun to scratch the surface. But I do want to share some valuable nuggets in the coming months as I am studying and writing to challenge my readers to study for themselves.
"And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.- Rev. 8:1-2" - Have you wondered why a half hour of silence? There are some events in Revelation that make no sense outside of the Seven Feasts and Jewish temple worship. When you see the connection it's like...WOW!
It is a recorded fact of the Temple service that the whole process of collecting the fire from the altar, offering the incense, and re-emerging from the Sanctuary took THIRTY MINUTES. During all this time, the musical and vocal praises in the Temple ceased, and the people stood in an awed silence! For half an hour. Then seven trumpets were blown!
Do you think this is a coincidence? The Book of Revelation is "The Revelation of Jesus our Messiah" and all the events that will take place just before his Second Coming. The Tabernacle built by Moses in the wilderness was all prophetic of Jesus the Messiah in his first coming. He is the Alpha and Omega - the beginning and the end.

Pre-release review of "The Third Strand"
While waiting for "The Third Strand" to be printed and published, I sent the manuscript to Peter Younghusband to read in advance of the release date. I am excited and humbled by his review. I have ministered in various ways throughout my life but I can honestly say sharing coming prophetic events in the form of Christian novels has been one of my greatest joys. I pray many lives will be enriched, informed, challenged, and find a deeper walk with our Lord and Savior through the Biblical information weaved into these end time stores.
I am thankful there are book critics who vet Christian novels for the content being Biblically sound. And I thank 'Reality Calling' for verifying and awarding that my novels adhere to sound doctrine and spiritually challenge the readers. You can read the review here by clicking the link on my blog header or copy and paste:

Christian Fiction Award for 'The Omega Watchers'
When I started my journey as an author I struggled with the normal thoughts of a beginning writer: Will anyone read it? Can I really be a writer or is it just my pipe dream?
When I discovered I could paint pictures and emotions with words, I found a new love in my life and a new calling for my retirement years. I spent decades of working, raising a family and just trying to be a good Christian, mother, and wife. I loved every minute of it but always had a desire to write and reach people with both the prophetic message and message of salvation through Yeshua (Jesus).
I have been contacted by people all around the globe who have read The Omega Watchers and been ministered to on varying levels. I believe writing has been an avenue of 'redeeming the time'.
Today I was greatly honored and humbled to have been informed I have won a Christion fiction award for my first novel. ("Redemption Fiction" - http://radiqx.com/speculative-fiction/christian-redemptive-fiction-award/)
After just finishing the sequel to The Omega Watchers, this encourages me to begin Book III in the series. The plot has already formed in my mind...now to start putting it into words.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Finally!
After two years of writing 'The Third Strand', the sequel to 'The Omega Watchers', the manuscript was submitted to the publisher today. I will receive the publisher's diagnostic review in 7-10 days and after any needed changes, my new novel will go to print.
The sequel is loaded with end day's prophecies intertwined into a high-suspense, extremely speculative story. I use an edgy twist of CERN's experiments, The Prophecy of St. Malachy (The Black Pope), and as the title implies - manipulation of the DNA helix to effectuate the mark of the beast.
My test readers have told me the sequel is an edge of the seat, cliff hanger. I am so excited to be able to offer my new novel in just a few weeks.
Soli Deo Gloria! To God be the Glory!

The Sequel is Finished!
After two years of numerous (and wonderful) life interruptions I can finally announce "The Third Strand", the sequel to "The Omega Watchers", is finished. The new book is in the editing stage and I hope to have the manuscript ready to be published early February. This would mean books would be on the shelves and available for electronic downloads by early spring.
My readers will find the sequel picks up at exactly the point The Omega Watchers ended. The Third Strand will be packed with ancient biblical prophecies (many of which are being played out in reality on the world scene today) come to life in a novel format. The mysteries in The Omega Watchers will finally be solved:
My readers will find the sequel picks up at exactly the point The Omega Watchers ended. The Third Strand will be packed with ancient biblical prophecies (many of which are being played out in reality on the world scene today) come to life in a novel format. The mysteries in The Omega Watchers will finally be solved:
- Who killed Gabriella's mother?
- Who tried to kill the Professor?
- Why was the implant so important to The New World Order?
- The mysteries of the bunker Gabriella is left in when everyone disappears.
- The mystery of The Prophet.
- Why was Gabriella really chosen for such a time as this?
These mysteries will be solved in "The Third Strand" as new mysteries unfold for Gabriella when her father, the man she loved and all of her friends simply vanished during the prophetic Psalms 83 War.
In the sequel Gabriella will experience:
- The rise of The False Prophet
- The world leader's pseudo explanation of where the vanished went.
- How one common factor of all religions will bring together the Antichrist's One World Religion
- How the implant her father discovered becomes the Mark of the Beast
- And much more!
A reminder that novels are fiction! No one has the answers to how end time prophecy will merge with daily life in the world; however, the Bible does tell us of events that will definitely take place just before the return of Jesus. My novels wrap a fiction story and "possibility" of how the real prophetic last days in some part could play out.
My prayer is the prophetic truths and scriptures used in my novels will touch hearts, challenge the reader to study for themselves and ultimately come to a closer relationship with Yahweh the only true God, and Yeshua (Jesus) His only Son.
