The Twisty Passages of Time, Book 1: 

Veer Left for Home

K.D. Loveridge’s The Twisty Passages of Time is his debut YA novel.

Twisty Passages follows the life of a young boy whose sister died one year prior. As he is about to enter the sixth grade, his sister’s death leads him to a great secret: His family are part of a colony of refugees in time that are hiding in the present from an enemy that nearly brought their people to the brink of extinction. Faced with an uncertain future, he must first endure bullies at school while learning to cope with the new powers he has received to survive in the dystopian world of his grandparents.

Liam Fennly had a typical childhood growing up in a small oceanside town called Stonehelm, Oregon. He’s the youngest of five children and has a best friend named Richard Sommers. The pair grew up together, attending elementary school, sharing a paper route, eating lots of junk food, and playing video games.

On Liam’s eleventh birthday, his sister, Mariam, died unexpectedly from a mysterious illness that took the lives of fifteen other teenagers living around Stonehelm all within a few months. Exactly one year later, two crows bring him clue that her death may have been a lie. Facing sixth grade, Liam soon discovers his family has been keeping a great secret from him. Everything typical about his childhood is about to end as he begins a journey to discover where his family came from and what happened to his sister.

This is a great book for kids between the ages of 10-18. A great gift for parents of children that loved books like Percy Jackson, Fabel Haven, or Leven Thumps.

A Grim Light Rising

Brace yourself for a heart-thumping journey alongside a band of adventurers with peculiar yet astonishing powers!

In a land where the remnants of destruction are still imprinted in the mind of its people, Devianna’s existence alone is a threat that must be extinguished. Her life could be in danger once her village discovers what she is—a Vacillian. There’s only one way for her townspeople to describe her power—a freak of nature.

Only the oldest of the women had seen a Vacillian and Devianna grew up hearing haunting tales describing the monstrous entity. One thing is certain. She will be stoned to death once everyone learns about her secret.

Devianna soon crosses path with the itinerant bard Madino, a part of a secret order of hyper-empaths striving for centuries to heal Messano and return it to its former glory. The ancient chronicle he declaims at Castle Inario about the wise Soltans who once ruled the world inspires King Nical with visions of unlimited power.

The king sees an opportunity to build an unstoppable army when his brother, Tavi, exhumes the lost art of forging iron. Little does he know that he has ceased aging and owes his uncanny youth to the servant girls who fall in love with him, only to wither away and die.

Arran—Nical and Tavi’s other brother swings back and forth between hopeless despair and giddy joy. He discovers how he can fly like an eagle and read currents within time unfolding when he’s under the influence of foria smoke—a stimulant that elates him. Soon, he becomes a prophet-figure to disaffected youth.

A Grim Light Rising is a gripping epic fantasy with complex characters and thrilling backstories. Know how each of them wields their unique powers and navigates the broken land of Messano.

A Higher Calling: 

Moving Forward in Your Walk With God

If anyone would come after me let him deny himself, take up the cross, and follow me. (MATTHEW 16:24)

There is a path that God has set for your life––a path that will allow you to be shaped and fashioned unto the measure of the statue of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). It is up to you alone to decide to turn from your previous path, take up the cross, and walk with Him.

Elder Shannon Fitzgerald Thomas used to lean on his own understanding and seek the pleasures of the physical world. But then God illuminated his true purpose: to share the good news and spread the gospel to all His people. God made his purpose clear and guided him from his former life of sin and showed him into the way of His light. He now presses toward the mark for the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

You too have a path set before you; you can walk with Christ and live in truth and goodness. In A Higher Calling: Moving Forward in Your Walk With God, Elder Shannon Fitzgerald Thomas reveals the guidance God has instilled in him to share with the world so that all of God’s children might once again hear His voice and continue their walk with Him. 

He is waiting for you; follow Him.
