This book has been a heart project of mine, in one form or another, since 2004. I’m so excited to get it out into the world. Thanks for riding along!
Let me tell you a little about some of the book’s main characters.
My Characters
Zakary Cooper
Zak, also known as Zee and King of the Dead, is a townie of Oak Hill who has returned to be the editor of the hometown newspaper. Zak is 36, married to his childhood sweetheart, no living children. His mother died when he was eight and his father deserted him at that time. Zak is a moderate Christian, but is challenged to trust God in the day to day. As a news reporter/editor, he is conditioned to accept facts as reality. Zak is driven by his need for a lasting love. No matter whom he lets into his life, lasting love remains elusive—until he marries Kay. When she, too, is taken from him his world totters. What does he do now?
Kay Sharp Cooper
Kay (the blonde) is a Realtor and has the personality to match. Everyone is her friend or wants to be her friend. She’s the person who lights up the room when they enter. The one all eyes turn to, not from physical beauty—though she is pretty—but from the mysterious thing called attraction. Independent, but not alone. Strong, but also with pockets of need. Stronger Christian than Zak, Kay understands that there’s more to the Christian life than attending church, serving the community, and being a good person. (The woman in the hat is a client.)
Michael Ehret loves to play with words. He is the author of the novella “Big Love.” Soon, he will publish the full-length novel, “Beyond December.” He is enjoying his current playground. Previous playgrounds include being the Managing Editor of the magazine ACFW Journal and the ezine Afictionado for seven years. He also plays with words as a freelance editor and has edited several nonfiction books, proofedited for Abingdon Press, worked in corporate communications, and reported for The Indianapolis Star.
