Publishing and Blog Update. New Short Story!

 

"The Shepherd's Love"

New!



"The Shepherd's Love" is a brand new inspirational short story. It is based on Jesus' parable of the lost sheep.

Alef is a dedicated shepherd. Although he loves his young wife and each of the sheep in his care, he embarks on a potentially dangerous journey to rescue his missing ewe.

If you would like a brand new story and a chance to support the blog, you can buy it Here for just $0.99, or you can read it on Kindle.


Two E-Books



Cynthia's Confessions

A story of young love and lessons learned. Set in South Africa. Available as a profesional looking e-book once more. (No longer on the blog.)






Whispers of Wales

An historical romance with a touch of mystery. Set in Cape Town and Wales, it is loosely based on the author's own family research.

Also available once more as an e- book, and no longer on the blog.



About the Blog


Although I do have some books for sale, including poetry, short stories, as well as longer stories, I will always publish free to read short stories, thoughts, and poems on the blog as the Spirit leads.

Aside from these, God willing, I will also post gardening updates (on Basket of Hope, my new gardening blog,). 

As a writer, I have always dreamed of being a published author. Self-publishing has enabled me to achieve this. It is a wonderful feeling to see your books out there. :)

If you feel so led, you may help support the blog by purchasing a book. All books are available in e-book format. Longer stories and poetry volumes are also available in paperback.

Well, that's all for today.

If you are new here, a very big welcome. Please make yourself at home.

Whether you are new here or not, you will find many free encouraging reads to enjoy on your coffee or tea break. :)

Love and prayers,

Alison

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.

The Yearning: The Sequel to "The Searching." Free Longer Story

  Inspirational fiction  The Yearning: The Sequel to "The Searching." Copyright: Alison Lawrence 2024. All rights reserved. *** Dedication: To all who are yearning for so much more. *** Chapter One (Author's note: Han is pronounced Hun.) It was only six o'clock in the morning, but Lidda could already feel it was going to be an unpleasantly hot day. She emptied her basket of cabbage scraps into the chicken coop, looking around for Han as she did so. He and his brother Vinny would have finished milking by now. No doubt they’d be in for breakfast soon. Lidda allowed herself a small sigh. She wasn't one to complain, but sometimes, the burden of her workload and of being a young wife rested very heavily on her shoulders. She entered the cool kitchen once more, and stirred the obligatory porridge before starting on the eggs. Her mind drifted quite naturally to Tirsa. Where are you dear one? How I wish you'd come back to us. Lidda missed her quirky free-thinking sist...

Flash Fiction, A Poem, Garden Glimpses, & an Update

  Flash Fiction, A Poem, Garden Glimpses, & an Update In this post: a mini inspirational story, a poem, plus what's up in my garden, and a blog and writing update . A sparrow, yet loved and counted. Photo: Ratanjot Singh.Unsplash. Little One The little one watches from her spot in the old apple tree. She peeks through the canopy of bright green leaves and ruby globes. She watches while resting in shady, cool, calm. She stares at the rushing, busy, blurry people. Where are they going? Why so rushed? People of all sizes and styles, yet all with the same harried, frazzled, furrowed frowns. She cocks her head, then fluffs her feathers: just a little sparrow, yet loved, fed, and counted. While people rush and worry, she lives, and breathes, and feeds, and flies; before she falls, and softly dies.  In Him. *** End of Self Now at end of self, decided: Give my all to You. Lay down each rock, and burden, sin: and start each day anew. *** Garden Glimpses January here in the southern...
