In book two of the “Freedom” series, readers find Mara fighting against her attraction to Bible college student Jonathan Flannery even while wrestling with risking her own precarious safety to become involved in the rescue of another girl who is pregnant and desperately wants to escape her captors and save her own life, as well as her child’s. Halfway around the world in a brothel in Thailand, a young girl is rescued with the promise of being reunited with her younger sister who was adopted by an interracial couple in the States, friends of Jonathan’s family. Meanwhile, Jefe—Mara’s uncle, who held her as a sex slave in his brothel in San Diego for years—seeks revenge for Mara’s testimony that put him behind bars for life. Will his underworld connections be successful in kidnapping and killing the girl who believes she has finally won her freedom?

With violent crime on the rise and the political climate changing throughout certain parts of Mexico, the opportunity for open Christian witness, particularly in some areas of Chiapas State, is rapidly decreasing. Hector Rodriguez pastors a small church in the tourist-popular border town of Tijuana. He also routinely carries Bibles deeper into the hostile areas of Mexico, where he ministers despite increasing difficulty and persecution. Hector’s mother accompanied him on one of those trips and felt God called her to stay in the little village of San Juan Chamula, where she uses the Scriptures to teach reading to the families who are open to it. When Hector’s mother disappears, Hector must decide if he will continue his work despite his worries about protecting his wife and children.

Book one of the four-book Extreme Devotion series from New Hope Publishers

Orphaned four years earlier when their parents, active in the African National Congress (ANC) movement against Apartheid, were murdered, 16-year-old Chioma and her 15-year-old brother, Masozi, now live and work on an Afrikaner family’s farm. When Chioma and Andrew, the farm owner’s son, find themselves attracted to one another, tragedy revisits their lives. Chioma escapes to join an ANC rebel band in her effort to survive and gain revenge for her family and race. When cultures clash in life-or-death struggles, Chioma must choose between violence and revenge or forgiveness and selfless love. Loosely based on historical events and set near Pretoria, South Africa, in the violent upheaval prior to ANC leader Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in 1990 and his ascendance to the presidency of South Africa, this story of forbidden romance produces an unlikely martyr who is replaced by one even more unlikely.

Tips from the Pros: Kathi Macias and Her Recent Media Blitz

Aloha from Karen and welcome to Kathi Macias.  I interviewed Kathi in Januar. Since that time she did a media litz that involved travel and television. Let's catch up with her and find  out how it went.

 

 

 

Tips from the Pros: Kathi Macias

Aloha from Karen

This week we'll chat with author Kathi Macias. When I first met Kathi she had not sold anything in a while (with over a dozen books published in the past). Then she had a break-through year and she's been doing about 4 books a year since that time. And her books are doing great.

Let's meet Kathi . 

 

  Kathi lives in California. Her latest book will release in February and has a cactchy title:  How Can I Run a Tight Ship When I'm Surrounded By Loose Cannons?

Book/Song/Trailer Combination!

Kathi Macias here, posing with fellow CANner Tricia Goyer during the recent combination speaking/pleasure trip my husband and I took to Tricia's beautiful hometown of Kalispell, MT. (The picture was taken in front of "Famous Dave's," which has some of the best barbecue on the planet!)

Almost immediately after returning from the Montana trip, I shifted into high gear to complete a project I've been working on for a while--and it is now live on various sites and can be accessed via the YouTube link on the homepage of my website (www.kathimacias.com), as well as directly on YouTube, GodTube, Shoutlife, etc. Interested? Check it out...and let's talk about what makes it such a unique and powerful marketing tool.

Laying the Groundwork with Teasers

Kathi Macias here, back from my incredible vacation/ministry time in beautiful Kalispell, Montana. Thanks to fellow CANner Tricia Goyer, I had the opportunity to speak at her church one evening and to meet some of the nicest people on the planet. If all goes well, I'll have a chance to return to that charming area one day soon! Meanwhile, I want to share with you what I consider one of the best ways to hook potential readers of your about-to-be-released book.

Points on Book-Signings that Actually Sell Books!

Hello, dear readers and scribes! We have another helpful interview today, this time with a lady who has had great success in organizing book-signings that actually...well, sell books. What a great idea! So meet Cheri Cowell, and find out how she did it. Then go to one of her sites and introduce yourself. You'll be glad you did!

Definitely a "God Thing"!

Kathi Macias here, with another ICRS picture, this time with fellow CANNER-AWSA sister-BOOMER BABE Allison Bottke. (How can you not look good with someone as beautiful as Allison in the picture?) I suppose the thing I love most about Allison is that she SO understands about "God things," and that's what we're going to talk about today.

Partnering in Ministry

Yep, that's me, Kathi Macias (on the right), with fellow CAN author Karen Whiting, posing together at the recent Atlanta wingding known as ICRS (formerly CBA for us "oldies but goodies"). This annual gathering of mostly eagles (and a few turkeys) is nearly a mandatory event for Christian authors, speakers, publishers, agents, book sellers and buyers, etc. But even if it weren't, I think I'd probably attend anyway, simply because it's one of the few times I actually get to meet so many other lovers of the written word face to face. It's a time of forging new friendships and partnerships, as well as renewing and strengthening existing ones.
