Darkness Calls the Tiger
“My adopted people have a story, a legend, that speaks of a time so dark, the sun will turn his back on the mountains and swallow the moon. It is then that the sharaw—the tiger-man—will come prowling, exacting revenge on the darkness. But there is no great darkness in me or my world. It isn’t always comfortable, but it has always been predictable . . . until the soldiers came.”
A handful of months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, missionaries Kailyn Moran and Ryan James, face a brutal Japanese attack on their village high in the mountains of Burma.
After the Land of the Rising Sun devours almost everything they love, Ryan fights to protect Kai from the deadly path of revenge and help her see herself through his eyes, but only she can choose to turn away from the call of the darkness.
Wrapped in real stories and legends, Darkness Calls the Tiger will appeal to fans of Susan Meissner and William Kent Kreuger.

Reflections on Surrender
The story of this book is an odd one. I illustrated it. Now I’m not a trained artist, but had started practicing an art form called Zentangle with my girl. A friend of mine, Shannon Popkin, wrote an amazing book, Control Girl, and we were talking about ways that folks could internalize the message of giving up control and the idea for the coloring book was born.
