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 Conversation. A Free Short Story

  The Conversation  Gavin was so absorbed in his book, that he barely noticed that the train had stopped at a station. "Mind if I sit here?" He looked up. A young woman with friendly freckles across her nose and wide brown eyes stood in the aisle. He nodded, then smiled faintly and she quickly stowed her large backpack. "I'm Sybil." The young woman offered. "Thanks." "No problem. Travelling to Barton?"  "Nope. It's Dunmore I'm headed for. You?" "Same." Gavin was cautious. He wasn't sure he felt like a chatty companion. He'd been looking forward to finishing his book. It had hooked him from the first chapter. But thankfully, Sybil didn't bubble on. She just smiled before taking her own book out.  Gavin went back to his reading, not without noticing that it was a Bible that Sybil had opened. Unusual.   Sybil glanced towards him. She liked to study people, and would often strike up a conversation in the ho...

Rapture Collection.

  Rapture Collection Dear Readers, Given the urgency of the times, I felt it on my heart to write this post. I have written several stories with a Rapture message. Below are links to three of them. You will find other references to the Rapture, or the great snatching away of the Bride, throughout the blog. I will also include a link to my testimony. Today is the day to repent and to call on Jesus to save you. With much love and prayers, Alison Waiting A Reason To Clean The Last Reminder My Testimony  (Scroll to view. I titled it, He Stooped Down.)  💕🙏🩷

Not Much Time. Free Short Story.

  Years have gone by, yet the phone call still plays clear as a bell in my mind. "He needs to come home. Please tell him. There isn't much time." The thin, frail voice of the caller lent weight to the urgency of her call. No, there couldn't have been much time. "Daddy, a lady called. An old lady. She said there isn't much time." I tiptoed up to his armchair. I spoke softly, hesitantly. I was only a child, and I knew nothing of his past. "She says, she says, you must go home." "No!" The armchair shook with the force of his rage. "No! And don't talk to that woman again."  No further calls came from the frail-voiced lady. At least, not that I know of. *** Daddy was nearing the end. The end of a long, long battle. I was in my forties, married, and with children of my own. "Who was she Daddy?" I asked gently, hoping with God's help to bring him to a place of peace and forgiveness. But his face tightened and he t...
