I'm excited to participate in my very first blog tour. If you don't know what a blog tour is, it's a book tour via the internet. I'll be posting several times this week about Tricia and her current project. So please come back for the exciting things I have lined up including an exclusive interview on how this homeschooling, writing mom manages to do it all. And without any further adieu, let the tour begin.

Confessions of a homeschool,

overachieving, Gen X mom...
By Tricia Goyer

I write parenting books.

I write children's books.

I am a novelist.

I am a journalist.

I am a mentor.

I am a wife.

I am a mom.

I am a homeschooling mom.

I am scattered and confused.

Okay, I'm not confused, but others are when they try to put me in a box.

But I am scattered.

Here is what my publisher says about me:

Tricia Goyer is an award-winning writer who skillfully utilizes her relational thinking and conversational writing style to convey and connect truth with her readers. A former teen mom who went on to complete high school and attend college, she has become the celebrated author with a national presence that readers know and love today.

In 2003, Goyer was named writer of the year at the Mt. Hermon Christian Writer's Conference. Just two years later, her book, Life Interrupted, was named a finalist for the ECPA Gold Medallion Award, and her novel Night Song won ACFW's Book of the Year in the long historical romance category.

The author of several fiction books and nonfiction books, hundreds of Bible study notes, a children's book, and more than 250 published articles that have appeared in national magazines, Goyer has played an active role in Bible study groups, parenting programs, and young mom support groups for eleven years.

Here is what I say about me:

I live in Montana with my husband and three kids. We are also blessed to have my grandmother living with us too. She's a special joy!

I mentor teenage moms and I homeschool my kids. Oh, yeah. I write lots of books, too.


Tricia's latest book, Arms of Deliverance, is the fourth and final novel in this exhilarating series capturing the tales of men and women swept into World War II. Two friends, Mary and Lee, land similar reporting jobs at the New York Tribune on the eve of the war's outbreak and soon they become competitors. Mary's coverage of a bombing raid over Germany leads to a plane wreck and an adventurous escape attempt from across enemy lines. And when Lee hears of Mary's plight, she bravely heads to war-torn Europe in an effort to help rescue her friend. Will there be enough time for diplomacy or will war get the best of everyone?

Chapter One

Katrine squared her shoulders and instinctively pressed a hand to her stomach as she stepped through the open doors of the café, past the yellow sign that read NO JEWS ALLOWED. She paused as the strong aroma of coffee and cigarette smoke hit her face. Men and women clustered around tables. Beautiful people in the height of their glory.

Looking around at the room’s flocked wallpaper, ornate light fixtures, and marble flooring, she found it hard to believe that not too far away a war stormed. Not only battles for land and power, but a war against a people—her people . . . or what used to be her people.
