A little more about Loree:
Once upon a time, best selling author Loree Lough (literally) sang for her supper, performing before packed audiences throughout the Midwest. Now and then, she blows the dust from her 6-string to croon a tune or two, but mostly, she just writes. And at last count, Loree had 71 books (fiction and non-fiction for kids and adults; one novel optioned for a TV movie; and many more slated for release), 63 short stories, and more than 2,500 articles in print. WOW!

The first book in Kathy’s new series is titled, The Real Enemy, and the plot will challenge even the sharpest of sleuths. It is based on Romans 12:21, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

The main character in the series is Brill Jessup, the first lady police chief in Sophie Trace, Tennessee. Brill (short for brilliant) is a nickname she picked up during her eighteen years on the Memphis police force. Brill may be a pro at solving cases, but she has a lot to learn about what it means to “Let go and let God.” On the outside she’s got things under control. But when she goes home and kicks off her shoes, her insecurities kick in. Her husband Kurt knows her better than anyone…and if she’d open her eyes, she’d see that he’s becoming a polished version of the man she married. But Brill’s not about to let him hurt her again—not ever. Kurt knows that. He blew it. But he also believes that every sin is redeemable, and good can come from even the stupidest mistake he ever made…if he turns it over to God.

Brian Bates knows firsthand the power of God’s restoration – from his work in Africa, from his own life.  That knowledge infuses his music and directs his life.  “The bottom line is Jesus is my hero,” he says. “I love him and I love how he lived his life.  I want to follow in those footsteps.  I wanna take it a little outside the box, but absolutely represent the heart of the Father, just like Jesus did.  That’s my goal.”

“Share the secret”
A personal message from Brian…

The secret of being content in any circumstance… that’s what the Africans taught me, and why I wrote “You Danced“.  The release of this song to radio as well as my FIRST EVER music video is especially exciting because I get to share that secret.  Will you help me?  Please let people know about “You Danced”!

THE SISTER CIRCLE HANDBOOK is a companion book to the Sister Circle novels. It celebrates the joy of sisterhood and is perfect for small group use. It showcases twelve life-issues (like Moods, Forgiveness, Gossip, Dealing with Difficult People, Disappointment…) and offers biblical and sister-to-sister solutions. The material is not day, month, or year dated, nor is it seasonally defined, so it can be started at any time (we girls need flexibility!) And there’s more…outreach ideas, party starters, and yummy recipes just to keep you going. The tone is not preachy-teachy but conversational, and is fashioned with a heady mixture of female wit and fun interwoven with substance.
