The Horned Edge, book 3 in the Soul’s Warfare series is nearly finished. One more chapter in the creation phase … and then the editing begins.
I want to celebrate the end of a year’s effort!
Thoughtful, Encouraging, and Spiritual Writing
Chapter 1 – Bad Memories and Good Dreams
Four Chapters to Go …
There are only 4 chapters to go on THE HORNED EDGE. I’m at the climax of the story! Getting the action into my manuscript is now like scraping the last delicious bite of chocolate cake off the plate.
I’ve planned out the story, visualized the settings and the action, and have a dramatic ending in mind.
May you totally enjoy in later 2023.

Reviews
The Hot Marble
Written by Mac
I like Science Fiction (Dune Series, Lord of the Rings, Narnia/CS Lewis) as well as Historical Fiction. The Hot Marble is well planned and executed in that today’s world many kids are thrown into real life as the characters in the book experience. Kids are put in situations that they aren’t planned to handle and Mrs. Althoff shows that well.
My favorite character is Lewis. He has a knack for useable knowledge. He tries to take responsibility (sometimes it doesn’t work in his favor). All of the characters have struggles just as we do.
There is a lot of good action in the book. As a guy that isn’t that much of a reader, it has plenty of action that keeps me turning the page to see what happens next.
I don’t want to give away any plotlines, but I was pretty upset when a character was “killed off”. I know that this happens in many books, but when you grow to like a character and identify with them it doesn’t make it any easier.
This is a great book.
