Are you ready to see the cover I slaved over? This book makes me so emotional. There is so much about this book that feels so ordained, it taught me so much, even in just all the practical aspects of creating the elements that would be the cover. But, without further ado… here it is in all it’s glory.

// Blurb //

Marcus is tired of losing those he loves. The last shred of his childhood has been uprooted and he feels alone… again. When the ruler’s new policies take effect, the anger of the Rusalkan mountain king is unleashed upon the borderlands. With refugees streaming into Elira by the hundreds, the stories from the wall are horrific. 

Marcus joins a convoy to lend his medical skills to those in need at the Eliran border. What he finds there is about to change his life forever.

Dilara’s life as a slave in Rusalka was anything but idealistic. Consumed by a system that was designed to use, abuse, and discard the likes of her, she has been taken through the very depths. Carrying a traumatic secret and wounded in her frenzied escape, she finds herself with an unlikely protector and an even more confusing relationship. Can she traverse the waters of this new life and make it her own?

And can Marcus overcome his own deformities to find the one missing piece? Or will his life forever be marked by suffering and sacrifice?

A little bit about my heart…

The value of each individual life is under attack.

If you are still in the womb and have no voice, you are discounted, aborted, your life is stolen from you because it is deemed unnecessary.

If you can’t do things the way someone else can, or if you have something that makes life harder for you… you are deemed unworthy and less than.

Someone more powerful than you could have taken your life from you, called it theirs to manage and control, made you a slave simply because they deemed you less than.

You might struggle with thoughts and accusations that who you are, what you have done, what has made you, or what has happened to you has devalued you. Made you of lesser value than another, and stripped you of any worthiness.

This is not so.

This Life Of Mine is an exploration into the intrinsic value that EACH life has… because our Creator, the only one capable of giving it to us, bestowed it upon us. He formed us when we were in our mother’s womb. He knows our every breath. He knows who He created us to be and He calls us to Himself.

Our value can ONLY be declared over us by our King. The One who knows our beginning from our end. The One who is with us through it all… regardless of if we see Him or not.

This Life Of Mine is a declaration over the priceless value each individual human life has… because our Creator said so.
