WHEN PLANETS FALL
Stars Fall Circle #1
WAR IS COMING . . .
Breaker’s home is cleaved by blood. The three tribes on the planet Scarlatti, whose only difference is their blood color, each want to exploit Breaker’s valley for themselves. The feudal tension has already claimed red-blood Breaker’s leg and his older brother. Now all this 18-year old wants is to maintain the tenuous peace in order to keep his little ‘stroid of a brother alive. Malani, a red-blood raised blue, is a kidnapped POW and only wants to return to her adoptive home with her dangerous blue secrets. Luka, a red-blood stewing for trouble, wants to right wrongs done to his family and bathe his home in justice.
All three intersect when Breaker discovers a wrecked starship and is given seven days by the green-bloods to fix and hand it over as a weapon. Breaker must decide if aiding his enemies is worth the home he knows and his family’s life. War is coming. And war respects no boundaries. And war leaves no survivors.

THE COLOR OF PAIN
The Intersection of Migraine, Art, and Faith: A Memoir
TAKE MY HAND.
You don’t have to walk this path alone.
Ancient Egyptians treated migraine by tying clay crocodiles to the forehead. The Victorians solved migraine by having doctors drill holes into their loved one’s skulls. Today, the Migraine Research Foundation says migraine is currently the sixth most disabling illness in the entire world, affecting over 9 million men and 28 million women in the US alone.
Abby J. Reed is one of them.
She is also an artist, a writer, and a woman of faith. Looking at the space where faith, art, and pain intersect, Reed interweaves vignettes to share how having chronic intractable migraine impacts both her Christian faith and art during a ten-year journey to find healing for the never-ending pounding in her head.
From intercessory prayer to Netflix binges to spending weeks in an intensive in-patient clinic, all while working on her art, sometimes true healing looks different from what we imagined.
THE COLOR OF PAIN is a brave, brutally honest and luminous memoir for fans of Jaouad’s Between Two Kingdoms and Peterson’s Adorning the Dark.
