Book 2 of the Rising Wind Series – The Weeping God and The Book of Hope E-book is on sale for $2.99 on Amazon.

“The Weeping God and the Book of Hope, part three in the Rising Wind series is actually a prequel to the first two books, so it’s not necessary to have read those first.” The lead characters, Sage Dalton and L.W. are the parents of the main character in the other Rising Wind books.

Although the characters are different and it is set in an earlier time period, the tone of the book is very similar. This time they discover an ancient text in a Mexican desert tomb that leads Sage, L.W., and a group of fellow explorers to Tibet where they find themselves in the middle of a war. Even with danger at every turn, they still manage to discover secret caves that lead them toward an elusive yet powerful Book of Hope. First, and foremost, the books have a superb cast of characters that readers can easily relate to. They care about each other, work together to achieve a common goal, laugh together, and cry together. Second, her stories revolve around rare ancient discoveries found all around the world.

Much like the great Indiana Jones films, each new discovery comes with an element of danger. The third common theme is an embracing of all world religions. Religion is somehow intertwined with each rare find that the characters make as she characterizes the religious elements in her stories in a positive light, as the hope of mankind rather than the way most works of fiction portray religion in a negative sense as mankind’s biggest problem.

Packed with suspense and action, readers and fans of character-driven adventure who like to learn about science, ancient civilizations, and world religions along the way will truly enjoy reading this book.
