Book No. 1 - And Can It Be
|
My first book, And Can It Be, was first published in 2009. I revised it in 2012 and changed the cover. In this book, you will read about Brenda Matthews and how she overcame many obstacles to achieve her dreams. Placed with uncaring foster parents and with only her mother's Bible to comfort her, she reaches for her goal. Can she succeed even when a possessed person is out to destroy her? Will she find her beloved sister? Read about the trying events that lead to a beautiful romance. Travel with Brenda on her journey from the splendor of the Rocky Mountains to the glamour and sights of New York City and Seattle, ending with a magical night in Victoria, B.C. This is an exciting story of trials, miracles and forgiveness.

Book No. 4 - Unclouded Day
Unclouded Day, my first historical novel, was published in March of 2014. Based on my mother's journal, it takes place in the Roaring Twenties on a farm in Franklin, Tennessee. . . a story of family, loss, love and betrayal set against the backdrop of model T. cars, talking movies, flappers and fun times.
So glad you took the time to visit my website. I am an avid reader, and have always wanted to write a book, so one day I sat down and researched everything I could find on how to write a novel. Then, I bought books on writing. Pretty soon, I decided to just get started. I knew I loved the rags to riches stories, how someone starts out with nothing and becomes a great success. That is basically how my first Christian novel "And Can It Be" came about. Browse through my pages (http://www.amazon.com/author/normadanzey) and check out my characters as they continue through the next two books. Then see how I switched from contemporary to historical in one smooth move. Enjoy!
Blessings,
