**The Epic Stand-alone Finale**

Born into a legacy, Eliana must find her own brand of justice.

After moving to Chicago to work at the mysterious Shrine museum, Eliana is determined to uncover the family secrets she’s never been told. When she stumbles upon her first ever dead body, everyone around her believes she should try and solve the murder. But taking cases isn’t what she came here for. Despite her plans, things are about to turn far more sinister, and the path she’s on seems determined to drag her back into a nightmare.

Chicago PD Officer Carlos Ryson was born into a legacy of his own. He’s here to look for his missing sister, Luci, and wants to enlist Eliana’s help. This is a family problem, and only family working together can solve it. But Eliana has never forgotten the way Carlos shredded her heart. If he wants them to team up, he’ll have to confront the damage he did and find a way to repair it.

While the city around them descends into a chaos that resembles the end times, someone has seized the opportunity to get what they want from the Shrine. Only Eliana stands in their way, but if she’s going to figure this out she’ll need to trust that the people around her have her back.

Before it’s too late.

Now Until Forever is the stand-alone finale to the Brand of Justice series, and is set in the near-future. It features a happily ever after romance mixed with high-stakes suspense in this gripping crime fiction story.

1. When you started writing this series, did you expect it to be a traditional number of

books - like 3 or 4 - or did you know it was going to have more than anyone could've

expected? How did you decide to continue with the series?

Well, hi! Thanks so much for inviting me to guest post! I’m so excited to be here talking about Now Until Forever and the whole Brand of Justice series.

When I started the series, I actually thought it was going to be 20 books! It ended with 16, and I’m fine with that—it’s better to end early than to drag something out. I still have a few ideas for spin of series’ for later, but for now I decided to wrap up this original series with the ending at 16.

Several of my series are longer – 9 or 10 books, so 16 was definitely a stretch. Personally I like a longer series, because you can really get to know the characters and see them develop. That is certainly the case with Kenna, the original series character.

I just knew Kenna had a significant story to tell, but when I started Cold Dead Night I had no idea she would discover a family and go on the path she did to her happily ever after. I thought they were going to be stand alone crime stories, where she investigated, saved someone, and caught the bad guy. Not that Kenna would go on such an emotional journey, and wind up going up against a dangerous group.

Following her life for 15 books allowed us all to see her journey to faith, her recommitment to the Lord after she falters, and how marriage isn’t the thing that fixes everything – life is still messy! Seeing her at the end of book 16 navigating a dangerous situation and having a baby, choosing to allow God to take her fears, was something I think every reader who has read that far deserves to see.

Now Until Forever is more of a final gift for readers who love this series.

It’s a stand alone and is set 25years in the future. The main characters are Eliana—Kenna and Jax’s baby, all grown up—and Carlos, who is the son of Javier Ryson. The idea came out of a moment in book 15 where Kenna and Javier joked about their children getting together when they’re all grown up. I knew it would be a great

story!

Now Until Forever is about discovering the path God has had in mind for you since the moment you were conceived. He’s a good God who leads us where He has prepared a path for us.

It’s a reminder that no matter what the world you live in looks like, He is still in control!

Happy Reading!
