Chasing the Wind
– Coming August 2012 from B&H Publishing Group
At 8:47 A.M. on Wednesday, October 12, 1977, new-to-town businessman Bingham Murdock flew his small plane into New Orleans, banking it in such a way that a ray of sunshine shot through the city at light speed.
Amalise Catoir saw the flash from her sixteenth floor law office window. Finally feeling alive after the death of her abusive husband, she imagined seeing the plane was a fate for her eyes only; a special connection between the unknown giver and she, the recipient of light.
But someone else saw it, a six-year-old Cambodian refugee in foster care for whom a sudden burst of brightness reminds him of artillery fire.
Destined to cross paths with the man and the child, Amalise doesn’t yet know the deeper spiritual lesson she will learn: that we are responsible not only for the things we do, but also for the things that we don’t.
Dancing on Glass – from B&H Publishing Group
In the steamy city of New Orleans in 1974, Amalise Catoir meets Phillip Sharp, a charming, magnetic artist, unlike any man she has known.
A young lawyer herself, raised in a small town and on the brink of a career with a large firm, she is strong and successful, yet sometimes too trusting and whimsical. Ama’s rash decision to marry Phillip proves to be a mistake as he becomes overly possessive, drawing his wife away from family, friends, and her faith.
His insidious, dangerous behavior becomes her dark, inescapable secret. In this lawyer’s unraveling world, can grace survive Ama’s fatal choice? What would you do when prayers seem to go unanswered, faith has slipped away, evil stalks, and you feel yourself forever dancing on shattered glass?

Secret of the Shroud (formerly Walk Back the Cat) - from Broadman & Holman
A frightened apostle in AD 33 – A tragic child in the 1950s – A slick, twenty-first century church leader…all linked by the secret of the Shroud of Turin, the purported burial cloth of Jesus…and by something more.
A corrupt, media-savvy clergyman, Wesley Bright, is out to destroy the Christian church of the God who has abandoned him. Likable, entertaining, his motives are well hidden. But as he seeks revenge, leading the church toward unknowing destruction, the mysterious Shroud of Turin stands in his way. Strange characters and clues emerge like shadows limned in mist as the most recent discoveries on the Shroud connect the pieces of a puzzle. When Wesley learns the ancient secret, he’s forced to confront a terrible choice-to keep the secret or expose it…and lose the power, wealth, and fame he’s won over the years.
At stake in this heart-throbbing tale is absolute truth.
Reviews & Endorsements:
“It’s hard to read this book and not get involved. I found my face wet with tears as I read the last few chapters. Days later, I still find the characters fresh in my mind. This book has twists that aid in building the suspense. The characters are more than mere words, they seem to come alive on the pages. I felt that I knew them personally…This is Christian fiction at its best.” - Readerviews.com

Based upon a true story. Barbara Bond is beautiful, talented, smart, and she’s trained for years to sing grand opera. But for the average woman in 1919 the idea of a career outside the home was a leap into the unknown. She marries Harvey Perkins, a medical missionary, sets aside her career for the moment-she believes-and travels with him into the jungles of Siam. There she struggles with her faith and the mission, all the while becoming enchanted with the local people and their culture.
Soon her love for Harvey is tested by a secret that rises between them. After several years they move to Bangkok, where Harvey is a royal physician. Life glitters here, but still she longs to sing. Can she have it all-Harvey and a career? It’s the roaring twenties: Bangkok, Paris, Lausanne, and finally Rome.
Here, alone in the shadow of Harvey’s secret, Barbara faces the harsh choice between music and love. But when you choose between two things you love, one is lost.
Reviews & Endorsements:
“You will feel the oppressive heat of the jungle, the furious love between a man and a woman, and the feelings of loneliness from living with a man who is bound by duty to give his all to his patients while having little left to give at home. Placed in a time of fun, loud parties, and impressive party guests, The Moon in the Mango Tree makes you feel like you have stepped back in time, and right into the action.” - Kathy Fisher, The Romance Readers Connection

Faith on Trial – from Broadman & Holman
Can we actually prove something that happened so long ago?
How do science and history support Christian faith?
Will the testimony of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John stand up in court?
Want the facts? Sometimes the heart won’t accept what the mind rejects. But Christianity is the only world religion based upon a “knowable” fact-the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ two thousand years ago. After twenty-five years of practicing law, in Faith On Trial Pamela proves these events in the same way that any event in the past is proven in a courtroom today-through the testimony of credible witnesses and strong, extra-biblical corroborating evidence.
Reviews & Endorsements:
“In a superbly documented legal analysis, Pamela Binnings Ewen argues convincingly that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John represent eyewitness accounts that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus did occur. She uses archaeological and scientific evidence, much of which has only been available in the last few decades, to show that almost every event surrounding the fundamental testimony of the Gospels can be verified today.” -Former U.S. Secretary of State, James A. Baker, III
