Diana Taylor My most recent book, Shadows on the Mountain will be coming out in November with Total Recall Press.  A soldier, left behind in Vietnam for 25 years, is returned home with the help of the underground church. He brings a half-Vietnamese daughter he cannot leave behind. At home, he finds a wife he thought had left him, a daughter he didn’t know about, and a formerly dysfunctional family that God has miraculously brought together. Diana Taylor
Martha Gorris I had a book signing at all three morning servics at The Rock Church’s bookstore on Sunday, November 10th. Martha Gorris
