 Author Interview

1. What is your least favorite part about writing?
Time on my hands. When I have no deadlines or far away deadlines, I just
end up with fanciful ideas bouncing around in my head with no outlet. Give me
a deadline, even a self-imposed deadline and words fill the page.

2. When did you become a writer?
As a kid, I always had an active imagination and took to writing as soon as I
learned how. I began the Towers of Light Series as a story for my kids. I
traveled for work 4 days a week and spent a lot of lonely nights in hotels
across the country. I started writing a story about them in a fantastic setting
and then shared it on the weekends. They loved it.

3. Where do you get your ideas for your books?
A couple of years ago I hired a family friend, Heather Freeman, to be my virtual
assistant. In our first official business meeting, she told me she thought Towers of
Light needed stuffies and picture books. While I thought it was a fun idea there’s a
huge difference between writing novels and picture books. Plus, I was working on
book 4 in a series of 6 and didn’t see how I would ever get to write a picture book.
However, there was a scene that I really liked in my first book, Light of Mine that my
editor made me cut out because it didn’t flow well from a storytelling perspective. It
basically pulled all of the intensity from the story, so she insisted that I pull it. But it
always bugged me. One day I was talking to a picture book author, Pam Halter and
she said she could help me adapt that scene to a picture book format all I needed was
an illustrator.
Well, my soon-to-be daughter-in-law had just drawn a nice set of characters depicting
the children in the Towers of Light series and I thought, WOW that style would be
perfect for a picture book. So, I had my story and my illustrator!

4. What is your work schedule/routine when you write?
I was in the Military, so I write between 5:30 and 7:00 a.m. before I start work
at my full-time job.

5. Do bits of yourself/friends show up in your characters?
The main characters are based on, and named after, my three children. There are even
characters that show up in the books who were friends of my children in real life.
Also, their favorite stuffed animals make an appearance. In this case, Meow Meow
was my daughter’s stuffed tuxedo kitty. He’s still around, but nowhere near as cuddly
and fluffy 20+ years later.

About the Author

Allen Brokken is a teacher at heart, a husband and father most of all. He’s a joyful writer by the abundant grace of God. He began writing the Towers of Light series for his own children to help him illustrate the deep truths of the Bible in an engaging and age appropriate way. He’s dedicated 15 years of his life to volunteer roles in children’s ministry and youth development. Now that his own children are off to college he’s telling stories and sharing clean humor on social media and through his blog.

 

 

More from Allen

Sometimes, a story just HAS to be told.  When I first wrote the book that became Light of Mine, book 1 of the Towers of Light series, there was a scene in which the main character, Lauren, and her newly found kitten are trying to milk the cow.  It was a sweet moment in a chaotic story, and I had fun writing it as an homage to my kitten squeaker, who made trying to work around home very challenging at times.  However, my editor was pretty clear that as cute as the story was, Meow Meow’s interlude with the milk cow Clarabelle just didn’t fit the story’s action.  So, unfortunately, that scene found its way to the cutting room floor.

After a few years, I started having mothers of children who loved the Towers of Light Series ask the same question over and over….”But what about my littles?”  Do you have a story for me to read to my younger children?  After thinking about it, I realized Meow Meow’s adventure might be a perfect read-aloud.  So I reached out to a fellow Realm Maker, Pam Halter, who has a really fun series of books with Willougby the Dragon, to see if she could help me turn my 2500-word novel scene into an 800-word picture book…and she did a fantastic job! So now we have Meow Meow Milks the Cow.

Another fun fact is that the character Ethan in this book is all grown up now and engaged to be married to Reace Erbe, and this is her first illustrated work in print.  So we all hope you enjoy this Tower of Light read to me.

"Embergold" by Rachelle Nelson

About the Book

Book: Embergold

Author: Rachelle Nelson

Genre: YA Fantasy

Release date: March 18, 2025

Fire dreamed of water, but the first sip would be its last.

Gilde has spent her life isolated in the wild marshlands, a place too wet for the dragon to go. She’s safe there, according to her father. So why is he asking her to leave with him now that she has come of age? There is more to Gilde’s family than she knows, and debts need to be paid.

Betrayed and shattered, she wakes in a crumbling mountain castle with the beast of her nightmares. Except this dragon speaks like a man and reads books. His kindness confuses her and opens a forgotten longing in her heart, all while Gilde plans her escape from a mountain full of secrets.

This place can unveil her past and why she was sacrificed to the beast —truths that may put both their lives in danger if they can’t learn to trust each other. But how can Gilde ever trust again? Especially after she discovers what dragons truly are.

My Thoughts 

I really enjoyed reading this book. I haven't read much in the fantasy genre but I loved this and want to read more! I found the book to be easy to read and kept me reading. I had some theories of what was going to happen and some were correct to varying degrees. There is a subtle biblical faith thread. I liked Gilde and Wil and their interactions. I look forward to reading more books by Rachelle Nelson. 


About the Author

Rachelle Nelson grew up reading fantasy novels and getting her clothes muddy in the pine forests of Idaho. These days, she still loves hiking through forests and libraries, though she’s a bit less fond of mud. Her debut novel, Sky of Seven Colors, released through Enclave Publishing, and won both the Carol Award and Christy Award. Rachelle doesn’t write true stories, but she does write about truth. When she’s not doing that, she sings in a band with her husband who makes her happier than should be legal. If you like good food and honest conversations, you’re her favorite kind of person.

 

 

More from Rachelle

For the past decade or so, I have been a volunteer youth leader for teen groups. Some of my favorite memories have come from that position. Camp pranks, hilarious games involving edible mealworms, scavenger hunts, singing together at the top of our lungs, and speaking life into the lives of young women. When a girl sees herself through the eyes of Jesus, everything changes.

Some of my hardest moments have come from being a youth leader, too. There’s a kind of hurt that happens when we watch someone suffer, and we cannot take the suffering away. I have cried tears with teens who have been wounded by betrayal, carelessness, and abandonment. Those wounds go deeper when they come from a parent.

The truth is, God is the only perfect father, and we’re meant to be parented by Him. Learning to trust Him is a process, even if we had a pretty great (if imperfect) example of an earthly dad. But we live in a fatherless generation, when so many have experienced separation and pain in their family from divorce, or addiction, or generational cycles of pain. I’ve seen what that kind of pain can do to a heart, and how trusting others becomes almost impossible.

Almost.

Embergold is a story about betrayal and abandonment. It’s about two young people who never expected to find kindness in a harsh world. It’s about the healing of hearts.

I wrote it for myself, to remember what is possible. I wrote it for the young people I have loved. And for the parents who are still recovering from their childhoods.

Sin and brokenness happen in community. But, the amazing thing is, God designed the healing to happen in community too, among people. We need each other.

"His Unforgettable Bride" by Patti Stockdale

About the Book


A pickpocket turned lady and a prince with a forgotten past find love in the most unexpected place…

Juliet Dash, orphan and former pickpocket, yearns to leave her troubled past behind. So when she arrives in British Columbia and takes a respectable job working for a pair of society sisters who offer to give her etiquette lessons, she’s one step closer to that dream. But when an unexpected encounter with an unconscious man turns her world upside down, Juliet must choose between her heart and her aspirations.

Weary of the pressure of royal life, Prince Henry Graighton longs for solace and anonymity. But when tragedy strikes and his brother winds up dead, Henry finds himself thrust into the role of heir apparent, leaving him to struggle with the weight of his grief and unwanted responsibility. And when Henry is kidnapped, he narrowly escapes with his life...but loses his memories in the process. In his darkest hour, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of Juliet, his savior and the key to unlocking his forgotten past.

With danger lurking at every turn and the weight of Henry’s royal duties looming over them, can their budding romance withstand the trials that lie ahead, or will Juliet be forced to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of Henry’s kingdom?
  • Amnesia
  • Royalty
  • rags to riches,
  • fish out of water
  • orphan
  • fairy tale.

My Thoughts 

I enjoyed reading this book and seeing Juliet get her happily ever after. It was fun to see some of the characters that we met in the previous books in the series and see where they were now. Livy and Tabitha were fun and quirky characters that added interest to the story. I liked Juliet and her straightforwardness but also her desire to learn new things. It was interesting seeing Henry discover himself when he didn't even know who he was. There is a nice biblical faith element woven through the story and the characters learned lessons and grew and changed. I look forward to reading more books by Patti Stockdale.

Author Interview 


1) What is your favorite part about writing?
My favorite part of writing is taking a blank page and watching the words spring to life. I
especially love writing dialogue—it’s so much fun! When I’m in full writing mode, I often find
myself mentally working out the dialogue, even mid-conversation with someone else. Sometimes
I just want to say, “I can’t talk to you right now because I’m busy talking to people who don’t
even exist!” Of course, I don’t say that, but it’s proof of how alive the characters feel during the
writing process.

2) What is your least favorite part about writing?
Writing descriptive scenes is the most challenging part for me. I tend to skim over setting
descriptions while reading, so I easily leave them out of my writing. After drafting, I always go
back to ask myself, “What does this setting look like?” and then layer those details into the
scene. My goal is for the setting to feel like an authentic part of the story instead of an
afterthought.

3) What is your writing space like?
I write at the dining room table. Writing is such a solitary activity, so I enjoy being in the heart of
the house, surrounded by the energy of daily life. I have a basement office, and it was my main
writing space for a time. But after we got our mischievous husky puppy, I moved to the main
floor, where I could monitor him.
I’m surrounded by stacks of books, my Bible, and writing resources. My favorite tool is The
Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Expression. It’s a fantastic resource for
crafting believable characters and their emotions.

4) When did you become a writer?
I didn’t become a writer until later in life. Growing up, I always dreamed of being a writer,
inspired by characters like Harriet the Spy in my favorite childhood books. But instead, I
followed in my mom's footsteps, first working in banking and later becoming a real estate
appraiser for 18 years.
When I had my children—one with special needs—I left my job to focus on raising my children.
It was during this time that everything changed. I found Jesus at a funeral, picked up the Bible,
and dove into scripture. I became intrigued by the question, what did Jesus do during those three
days between His death and resurrection? That curiosity sparked the beginning of my book, and I
started writing and blogging. Now, after years of dreaming, 63 Hours in Hell is finally out in the
world.

5) What is your work schedule/routine like when you write?
I’m an early riser, so I write at 5:30 in the morning and work until about 8. After that, I take my
dogs for a walk, have breakfast with my son, and work for a couple more hours before heading to
the dog park. At the park, I meet up with a group of retired friends and their dogs—we laugh,
chat, and watch as the pups chase squirrels up trees.
After lunch and errands, I might squeeze in another hour of writing before dinner. Another dog
walk in the evening helps clear my head, and then I relax on social media—or, if I’m working
under a deadline, I’ll jump back into writing. Even when I’m not writing, I’m always thinking.
There’s a lot of staring into space and turning story ideas over in my mind—that’s just part of the
creative process!


About the Author

Susan L. Davis is an author, speaker, and blogger whose journey from skepticism to faith began unexpectedly at a funeral. Her debut novel, 63 Hours in Hell, explores the three days Jesus spent in Hell, offering a fresh perspective on biblical events. Susan lives in the western suburbs of Chicago with her husband, two children, and their mischievous dog.

 

 

 

 

More from Susan

Thank you so much for being part of this incredible journey. I am grateful for your support in helping to share my debut book!

I’m thrilled to introduce readers to more than just a novel—this is a journey into God’s love and mercy, reaching even the darkest places. Rooted in scripture, infused with traces of Jewish folklore, and written with the utmost respect for Jesus, 63 Hours in Hell examines themes of faith, forgiveness, redemption, and the healing of broken relationships.

If you’re a fan of The Chosen series, this book will resonate with you. It imagines what happened during Jesus’ three days in the depths of hell. The story follows a jilted bride, her brother, and the good thief on a quest: finding key fragments, freeing hell’s prisoners, fighting the devil, and facing their own inner demons.

A Special Message

Readers have shared how they found a personal message within its pages—something they needed to hear at just the right moment. I pray 63 Hours in Hell offers encouragement to you as well.

An Inspired Journey

As you can see in the photo, my furry companions have been a steady source of joy throughout my writing journey. (Fun fact: my majestic, wolf-like dog even inspired the demon dog in the book!)

An Invitation

I didn’t truly discover Jesus until later in life, which makes me even more in awe of His boundless love, sacrifice, and resurrection—and His patience throughout my personal transformation. This book is more than a story; it’s an invitation to understand why Jesus’ death and resurrection remain pivotal—yesterday, today, and forever.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and for sharing this book with others. Your support means the world to me!

Happy reading,

Susan L. Davis

"The Way Back to Eden" by Kurt Mahler -- Author Interview

About the Book

Book: The Way Back to Eden: Book 2 of the Jaguar Oracle Series

Author: Kurt Mähler

Genre: Magical Realism

Release date: February 28, 2025

A Mystical Journey to Restore the Natural Order as Hope Guides the Way

In the lush wilderness of the Rio Grande Valley, a centuries-old prophecy is about to be fulfilled. The jaguars, once the revered rulers of the animal kingdom, have vanished—until a brave jaguar named Oracle begins a journey to summon the scattered tribes and restore their rightful place.

A captivating quest and an unforgettable journey home.

His quest intersects with young Paco and his extraordinary animal companions—a wise horse named Plod, a storytelling toad called Bog, and a clever raccoon named Patch—as they navigate the mystical landscapes of the Texas-Mexico borderlands and Brazos River bottomlands, a quest that weaves through ancient forests, mysterious towers, and sacred sanctuaries.

Guided by ancient wisdom and the enduring loyalty of his animal friends, Oracle’s epic journey leads him through a world on the brink of upheaval. As greedy developers encroach on the land and threaten the delicate balance of nature, Oracle must navigate a tangled web of human greed, betrayal, and violence to find the missing jaguarundi tribe and unite the warring factions of the animal realm.

The fate of the Valley rests on Oracle recovering lost memories and rediscovering the original harmony between man and beast. From vast Texan ranches to ancient palm forests, from well-ordered zoos to untamed wilderness, The Way Back to Eden weaves together a rich tapestry of cultures, legends, and the immutable power of the natural world.

Blending elements of magical realism, environmental advocacy, and pulse-pounding adventure, this sweeping tale transports readers into a vibrant, unforgettable world where Oracle’s quest is to preserve the ancient balance and the interconnectedness of all living things.

The Way Back to Eden, a deeply satisfying and thought-provoking fantasy epic, is the second installment in the six-volume Jaguar Oracle series. Discover the magic that awaits where ancient wildlife sanctuaries hold secrets, where ghosts and tree house hermits guide lost souls home, and where the path back to Eden might just be hidden in plain sight.

Follow the trail. Find the tree. Change the world.

Author Interview 

1. Do you have a way to keep track of your story ideas?
I use a Google Sheet called “Timetable of the Tale” to track the days and the nightly astronomical
patterns as shown by an app called Starry Night Enthusiast 8.
I use an internally hyperlinked Google Doc called “Faithfulness to the Tale” to remind myself of what
the characters intend to do later on; notes regarding style; and details about the plot. Along with this
Google Doc are the documents, “Characters,” “Animal Library,” and “Plant Library,” which help me
refine the accuracy, beauty, and unfolding of the tale.

2. What is your writing space like?
I sit at a solid wood desk with no drawers facing southeast. Two Gothic-arch windows are above it,
one of which has a perch for birds who feed on seeds just below the sill. Under a brass reading lamp is
an icon of the Holy Family, and with this my daytimer, called a Full Focus Planner, which I highly
recommend.
A toy raccoon “reminds” me to take courage and write. (The Jaguar Oracle series features a raccoon
named Patch.) And there is a desk fan, for it is quite hot where I live in Arabia. A plant sits beside the
desk whose leaves curve over the corner thereof. A map of the tale—which appears in the book—is
also before me, along with silhouettes of the four main cats: jaguar, ocelot, bobcat, and jaguarundi.

3. Where do you get your ideas for your books?
The idea for The Way Back to Eden and the whole Jaguar Oracle series came from a black-and-white
photo and a question.
The photo, dated January 1946, is of farmers and ranchers displaying what they believed to be the last
jaguar in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, which they had hunted down and killed. I saw it in a book
called El Valle: The Rio Grande River Delta by Seth Patterson.
A few hours after seeing this photo, during a time of prayer about some troublesome matter I no
longer remember, the question dropped into me: “What if a jaguar returned to the Rio Grande
Valley?”
In The Way Back to Eden, in the chapter called “The Photo,” a main human character sees the photo
in that book, and, as a result, is inspired in a dream that night.

4. What is your work schedule/routine when you write?
Insofar as love and wisdom allow, mornings are devoted to writing. I write pre-dawn for an hour or so,
then, after breakfast and morning chores, I write another two to four hours.
Afternoons and evenings tend to be devoted to everything else, i.e., matters that do not require the
generating of creative content and the solitude that lends itself to that endeavor.

5. Do bits of yourself/friends show up in your characters?
A leading human character in my animal tale is named Travis Menefee III. He is named after a signer
of the Texas Declaration of Independence. I learned of this name from a friend of mine who bears it as
his middle name.
The main character in the Jaguar Oracle is a jaguar who, apparently, has spent time with a lion a lot
like Aslan. In Book 2, The Way Back to Eden, there is a hermit based on a long lost relative of mine,
and there is a cartel operative who is based on Cesar Romero, a Hollywood actor known for his role in
the original Batman TV series.
In the audiobook, narrator Zach Lazar Hoffman bases the voice of the jaguar on that of Liam Neeson,
and he bases the voice Patch raccoon on that of Tom Hanks.


About the Author

Kurt writes in the prophetic and poetic tradition, inspired by the wonder of creation and the cultures of the nations. Guiding sources for his works include the Hebrew prophets, the Desert Fathers, Dante, Milton, George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and Tolkien.

Kurt and his wife, Karen, married since 1993, raised five children in Afghanistan and have spent more than twenty years in forty nations as encouragers in the Christian faith. Their travels led to the discovery of the beauty and wisdom of storytelling. Their roots include the Gulf Coast, Rio Grande Valley, and Heart of Texas.

Kurt writes to give readers courage for their faith journeys, as he believes that no disappointment, however profound, should prevent you from completing it.

More from Kurt

The Way Back to Eden expands the Jaguar Oracle epic into a full-fledged human drama alongside the animal one. Who among the animals do you enjoy? Who among the humans do you identify with? A clue to courage for your calling lies in that intersection.

Brazos Ben is based on a relative who built a three-story treehouse with running water and electricity. Just like we find in the story, he did so on sixty acres of bottomland beside a river, where he let most of his property go wild. It contained an old pecan orchard and an abandoned cabin.

Papá Eli, a member of the old-school “gentleman mafia” of Mexico, is based on the actor Cesar Romero.

Every plant, animal,  moon phase,  and constellation are the work of much research. I use an astronomy app called Starry Night Enthusiast 8, which I learned of from reading the profound scholarly work called The Great Christ Comet by Colin Nicholl, who used this app as a key aid in his attempt to determine the nature and trajectory of the Star of Bethlehem.

While the animal characters are on a journey to “remember their names”—what Adam spoke when he named them—the human characters are on a quest to get “back to Eden.” High-tech rancher Tripp is leveraging money. The hermit Brazos Ben is letting his land go wild. Papá Eli is creating a glass arboretum where he hopes to retire alongside the jaguar. Chase the zoologist is in touch with the omens of creation.

But the jaguar Oracle is on a deeper journey. He is trapped in a “mangarden” far from the Rio Grande Valley. He will need more than mere strength and skill to escape and return; he will need weakness and suffering. Can he drink the cup? Can he return to the Valley and restore the cats to their leadership (the ocelot, the bobcat, and the lost jaguarundi)? Can he bring the animal kingdom into a “final spring in their twilight days this side of Eden”?

Read and discover. Perhaps it will inspire you to drink the cup heaven has offered you, too. His grace is sufficient. His power rests in our weakness. His blood is enough. This is our way back to Eden.
