History with a Christian perspective...
and a little imagination.

Welcome!
I'm so glad you stopped by. Each one of my visitors is special to me. I hope you'll take the time to                  and tell me about yourself.
While you're here, feel free to look around and find out what God's been doing. He's been so good to me. There's a lot to share!
He's blessed me with a supportive husband and two beautiful children whom I have the honor to homeschool. Recently, compliments of the US Air Force, God has brought us to the friendly state of Georgia. As always, where He sends us, He goes before preparing the way. This time, He lead us to a wonderful church family that we're so blessed to be a part of.
Five years, God opened a door for me to begin writing book reviews for At Home With Christian Fiction and Titletrakk.  I've also begun reviewing with FIRST Wild Card Tours. There's nothing I enjoy more than an engaging book, unless of course, it's writing a story.
Now, God's given me the opportunity to share my stories with you!
"Wounded Spirits," book one in my "Creek Country Saga," was accepted for publication by Vintage Reflections Publishing!
November 30th of this year, it will be available for purhase, and I can hardly wait.
In the meantime, I'm writing "Warring Spirits", book two of the series, as well as trying my hand at children's historical fiction.
I praise God for his many blessings!

Deep in enemy territory Adela must choose between the man she loves and a baby that has yet to be born; will she be strong enough to wait on God's provision?

A peace-loving yet loyal Creek warrior, Totka is forced to align with the extremist Red Stick faction whose purpose is to eradicate the Whites from Creek soil. In the midst of battle, Totka is assigned to protect those he is expected to hate--and kill. Life was simpler before his enemy became a beautiful face with a quiet strength and dignity he cannot resist.

Having lived a life plagued with death and loss, Zachariah McGirth is a man on a mission - he'll have his revenge or die trying. Blinded by grief, he can't see his way clear of yet another tragedy. Why has God taken everything from him...or has He?

Their lives molded by the course of history, can these Wounded Spirits learn to rely on God's grace during one of the bloodiest conflicts in the South?

I invite you to read the first chapter of Wounded Spirits and, as I have, fall in love with  Zachariah, Adela, and Totka as they struggle with the hardships faced in the rugged 1800's Alabama frontier.  Travel with them through their journeys of faith and disbelief and cry with them in their moments of pain and triumph.

Thanking the Lord always for His guidance,

April W Gardner
