A spellbinding debut of a novel series, Covenant explores the lives of a circle of families, friends and loved ones. A modern fictional account set in Virginia, Covenant affords readers to witness triumphs, failures, insecurities, hopes, dreams, losses and other thought-provoking elements that connect to readers’ lives.

In Covenant, Inez has written a completely mesmerizing tale that will keep you rooting for, gasping at and praying for, characters as they journey through relationships that define, destroy and strengthen them, all the while working to maintain the sanctity of their circles.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the idea and inspiration to write Covenant?

Jacob “JB” Burrage, author of Caught Up
(J. Burrage Publications, LLC)

Jeremiah Blackwood is a young, dark and very eligible bachelor who is trying to defy the odds of the stereotypical black man in the dirty south and overcome the small-town mentality that constantly threatens his success. Through hard work and determination, he honed his craft as a writer and began making his mark in the community when he met a caramel complexioned girl who could make Buffy the Body look like Miss Celie in The Color Purple.

She seemed so innocent the first time they met. Her beautiful brown eyes beckoned him into her lonely soul. Her smile was enticing, yet friendly. He knew she was the woman of his dreams. Much to his surprise, he found that not only was she far from perfect, but soon realized that she was involved in some things bigger than he could wrap his small mind around.

Find out what happens when a man gets caught up in a tangled web of lust, lies, and unadulterated drama.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the idea and inspiration to write Caught Up?

Margaret Wesley, author of The Job Experience
(PublishAmerica)

December 23, 2009, was the beginning. I began on a journey that would change my life forever. I was faced with a debilitating illness that no doctor could find the cause for. In the early stages of my illness, God led me to read the book of Job.

HE told me that I was going through my own Job experience. HE then led me to write down all of my experiences which evolved into this book. I didn’t know it then, but my illness would catapult me into realizing God’s purpose for my life.

It is my hope that my experience can inspire someone else to continue trusting God no matter what obstacles they may face. My illness is just one part of this book. I have experienced so many ups and downs, and my relationship with God has increased dramatically since this all began.

I have learned to lean and depend on God even more, and I know that HE is always with me no matter how long it takes to come out of my storm. This Job Experience is my test to make sure I am ready and prepared to carry out the call of God on my life.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the idea and inspiration to write The Job Experience?

Margaret Wesley: The Job Experience wasn’t actually a book I set out to write. I was faced with a debilitating illness. Through prayer, God led me to write down all Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… M.H. Wesley, author of The Job Experience →
