Introducing: GATEHAVEN

by Molly Noble Bull


Gatehaven, my upcoming historical, will be published in trade paperback in early October 2013 and also as an e-book.

I am calling it a Christian Gothic.
Set in a haunting mansion in the north of England in 1764, Ian Colquhoun and Shannon Aimee battle a Frenchman with dark secrets. It's spiritual warfare vs.the occult with a question.
Will they learn enough about God’s Words to defend themselves and others or will evil overcome them?
I will be telling more about Gatehaven in the coming weeks.But for now, I want to post what is written at the top of the page that you might not be able to read. It's part of Lena Nelson Dooley's endorsement.

A dark gothic novel with interesting characters and a strong Christian thread woven through it. Gathaven is a wonderful read for lovers of gothic novels.

I forgot to mention that Gatehaven won the 2013 Creationi House Fiction Writing Contest, and part of my prize for winning was the publication of Gatehaven in trade paperback and later as an e-book. Look for Gatehaven in early October 2013. To find all my books, write Molly Noble Bull in the search slot at online and walk-in bookstores.

STORY SETTINGS

by Teresa Slack, 

Have you ever taken a vacation or browsed a travel brochure or even looked at a postcard without imagining a story of your own in that setting?

Me neither.
We’re writers. That’s what we do. Choosing settings are nearly as much fun as creating characters that will live on with readers long after they finish the book. In fact many readers—and yes, publishers—consider setting as another character to be examined and explored throughout the story.

Tomorrow I’m on my way to Charleston, SC for a week long vacation. Ah, Charleston—the history, the romance, the mystery. Of course I’m looking forward to it as a tourist. But as a writer, I’m more excited about the opportunity for research for future writing projects.

I can’t be the only one. What location has always appealed to you as a possible setting for your next book? Is it a small town you drove through once on vacation? A foreign city full of mystique and excitement? A historic town that doesn’t exist anymore, or a futuristic location of your own making?

Share your dream setting here and a little about why it appeals to you. I’ll send the one with the most intriguing setting a postcard from beautiful, historic Charleston. Then you can send me one from your setting when you sign your next contract.
