Description
A Mighty Fortress
by Faith Blum
Synopsis:
“Stay back!” Joshua ordered. He kept his eyes on the scene below while
waving his arm in Ruth's direction. “Get
deeper into the woods and stay down low to the ground.”
Joshua hazarded a glance behind him. He could no longer see Ruth and breathed a
sigh of relief. In one swift move, he
grabbed his rifle and lay flat to the ground.
Extending the rifle, he aimed at the shorter man whose gun was pointed
at Bradshaw.
Joshua and Ruth Brookings are traveling by
stagecoach to finally join their parents in Montana. Attacked by murderous
outlaws, the teens barely escape with their lives and must survive in the
barren Wyoming and Montana
Seven years ago, Jed Stuart ran away from
home and joined Tom's gang. Jed is tired of the lawlessness and wants out. The
only problem? He is the boss's right-hand man and will never be able to leave.
And what's one more stagecoach robbery, anyway?
Can Joshua lean on God's strength to keep
himself and his sister alive until they find a town? Will Jed be able to face his anger or will
it consume him completely? All three are running--the hunter and hunted. What
will happen when they meet?
Audiobook

announcement.
About the Author
Faith Blum started writing at an early
age. She started even before she could read! She even thought she could write
better than Dr. Seuss. (The picture doesn’t show it well, but there are
scribblings on the page of Green Eggs and Ham). Now
that she has grown up a little more, she knows she will probably never reach
the success of Dr. Seuss, but that doesn’t stop her from trying.
When
she isn’t writing, Faith enjoys doing many right-brained activities such as
reading, crafting, playing piano, and playing games with her family. One of her
dreams is to visit Castle City, Montana, someday to see the ghost town she
chose for her characters to live in. She currently lives on a hobby farm with
her family in Wisconsin.
There
are many ways to connect with Faith online. All of them can be found in one
convenient place: http://FaithBlum.com. On her website you can find
links to her various social media sites and both of her blogs.
Author Interview
Can
you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I am a
20-something author who has published 5 novels, 6 novellas, 2 short story
collections, 1 short story, 2 box sets, and now 1 audiobook. I live at home with my family on a small
family farm in Wisconsin. I also like to do crafts, read, and watch movies.
What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why?
In A
Mighty Fortress, my favorite parts to write were Jed’s scenes. He is the
villain of the story and I had fun exploring his character and writing someone
so different from me.
Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or is it purely all imagination?
Ruth’s fear of heights is based on real
life experience. I think I would be the same way if put in the same
circumstances. Otherwise, I think most of it is purely imagination.
How different was this book to write than the other books in the series?
This is one of the few books I’ve written
where the villain has some of his scenes from his point of view. There is also no romance angle in the story
at all.
Do you have any advice to give to aspiring writers?
Always put God first in your life. If you
honor God, the writing will follow.
Is there anything you would like to say to your fans or readers?
Thank you for reading my books. I pray
they have encouraged and/or challenged you in some way. Stay close to the Lord
and His will.
