Mary C. Findley – Inklings Fiction

Write for the King of Glory

Completely revised and updated. Share the fruits of eight years of publishing. Learn about blogging, writing, cover design, editing, marketing, and find a bunch of great resources to help you in your publishing journey, many of them free. I’m not the be-all and end all of Christian publishing, but I’m here to help, and so are a bunch of other Christian writers and service providers.

I’m living proof that you can get your book published. It doesn’t have to stay in those pre-publication versions, or be taken out of your hands and changed to the point where you hardly recognize it. God educated me through some amazing preparation and hard times to the point where I realized that it’s up to me to make my books. Nobody’s going to do it for me. At least not so that I can control it from start to finish, or within my mostly nonexistent budget, or on my timetable.

So, I have learned to be a cover designer, an editor, an ebook formatter, and everything else I need to create my own books. I have also learned some things about online marketing, to the point where we have regular monthly sales that continue to grow.

Fifty Shades of Faithful (Fifty Shades of Faithful Book…

Five short stories about Sam and Vivian Tucker, a cop and a photographer sharing their 20+ years of Song of Solomon marriage wisdom in most unconventional ways.

Sam has to forget how tough it is when Viv leaves town, because a young couple’s about to lose their marriage and maybe more over bondage gone wrong in “Cowboys and Indians.”

Vivian isn’t supposed to get involved in the lives of her photography clients but she persuades Sam that an intervention is needed to stop spousal abuse in “Punching Bag.”

Not everybody wants a fairytale fantasy come true, least of all a bitter brother accusing his dead brother’s Nurse-wife of golddigging in “Happily Ever After.”

Family secrets kept by generations of women are no excuse for adultery, but Sam and Vivian still want to help, if healing is possible, in “A Garden Locked Up.”

Sam and Vivian can only hope it’s not too late to save trafficked children and the couple determined to help them, no matter the danger, in “Family Package.”

Keith enjoys sweet reunions with family and students when the Mexico field trip finally becomes a reality. Parents lash out against the Bradleys with bitter accusations of fracturing their families and teaching their children to hate them. Hiding in plain sight can only go so far when a cartel drug lord, an educational authority, and someone who insists on documenting her own truth prepare for a final showdown. Cherub Bradley’s long-anticipated arrival sparks tender and terrifying consequences.

Joshua Bradley’s call to face the lions leads to fiery confrontations no one expected. Keith determines that it’s time for them to stop running, and to make their enemies move instead. Easier said than done, if one distraught parent’s confession is true. The full force of the US and Mexican governments might rise up in answer to the cries of a cult putting children in danger.
