New Contest: Through the Fire by Shawn Grady
. Thanks to all who entered.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Shawn Grady signed with Bethany House Publishers in 2008. He was named “Most Promising New Writer” at the 39th Annual Mount Hermon Writers Conference. Through the Fire is his debut novel.
Shawn has served for over a decade as a firefighter and paramedic in northern Nevada. From fire engines and ambulances to tillered ladder trucks and helicopters, Shawn’s work environment has always been dynamic. The line of duty has carried him to a variety of locale, from high-rise fires in the city to the burning heavy timber of the eastern Sierras.
Shawn attended Point Loma Nazarene University as a Theology undergrad before shifting direction to acquire an Associate of Science degree in Fire Science Technology as well as Paramedic licensure through Truckee Meadows Community College.
Shawn currently lives in Reno, Nevada, just outside of Lake Tahoe. He enjoys spending time in the outdoors with his wife, three children and yellow Labrador.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Firefighting burns in Aidan O’Neill’s blood. The son of a fireman, O’Neill has a sixth sense about fire and often takes dangerous risks. When one act of disobedience nearly gets a rookie killed, O’Neill is suspended. His weeks off are supposed to be a time to reflect but instead he escapes to Mexico, where another rash act of bravery actually kills him. But only for a few minutes.
Called back to Reno, he’s now haunted by visions of hell and paralyzed in the face of fire. And at the worst time, because an arsonist is targeting Reno. With a growing love interest with one of the investigators complicating everything, Aidan must discover where his trust rests as the fires creep ever closer.

I am an incurable romantic, and there just isn’t much that is more romantic than a fireman (save my hubby, of course). And I did spy the words…”love interest”…And it’s a Christian book…I am IN.
“Faith based action adventure”, “I read it cover to cover in one sitting”, “fast paced, engaging story”, these reviews sound terrific, what better a book to read than one that comes so highly recommended?
I am a faithful subscriber.

I’m a writer (though presently unpublished), and I’m always interested in what other Christians are doing in the literary world to glorify God with their gifts. With the great success of “Fireproof,” it would be fun to read another firefighter novel!
Blessings!
I haven’t read a good fiction book in a long time. My friends says I need to read fiction to unwind at night. I’d love to win this book.
