What if...?

What if Belle's father was the beast? What if something happened in the past to make Belle run away? What if Belle becomes a Christian and decides to return, but her father refuses to see her? My good friend, Amanda Tero, explores these what ifs in her new book, Befriending the Beast.

About the Book

Belle has returned unannounced to the castle to restore her relationship with the king, her father. Her hopes are dashed with the devastating message: "The king refuses to see you." Convinced that God has led her home, she is unwilling to return to Lord and Lady Kiralyn.

Time is running out for the decision that will change her life. When tragedy strikes, will she and her father be pulled further apart or knit together? Could she stay at the castle even if she will never see her father again?

Surprise!

There are many days when you wake up thinking it will be a normal day and sometimes that's true. But some days you get a surprise. Like I did on Tuesday when I checked to see how Faith is the Victory was doing in the Hot New Releases rankings on Amazon and found this:

 

When I went to bed the night before, I was in the #2 spot and quite a ways from the overall Amazon rankings compared to the book that is in the #3 spot in the picture. To say I was surprised is an understatement. But super happy, too! Especially when I then read Tarissa's review on her blog! 

Me? Teach Piano?

Have you thought about teaching piano? Or have you been asked, yet you're a little (or a lot) intimidated? "Me? Teach Piano?" by Amanda Tero, fully captures the fears of starting your piano studio and, in a down-to-earth style, giving you hope to conquer those fears. This booklet contains ideas, suggestions, and advice based on Amanda's experience. Consider it a layman's approach to teaching piano, from one teacher to another.

About the Book

"You play piano? Could you teach my daughter?" The parent looks too desperate to turn down, yet your thoughts run wild. "Me? Teach piano? I can barely play myself! Do they know what they're trying to get themselves into?!"

"Me? Teach Piano?" is a simple guide to clear up some of your questions as you learn a down-to-earth approach to creating piano policies, interacting with students, and choosing the correct curriculum.

Letter of Love

Have you ever read a story and wondered, "What happened to so-and-so?" Well that is exactly what happened after several readers finished Amanda Tero's Journey to Love. The journey is now continuing but this time in New York, with Marie's brother Edward. 

Read the first Orphan Journeys Short Story to find out what happened to a character from one of the Orphan Journeys Novellas.

A short story sequel to the novella, Journey to Love. Can be read as a stand-alone.

Surrender
