Céleste Perrino

In the last 7 years, I've started over 7 times. I'm getting too old for this.

I'm hoping my latest move to general surgery nursing will be my last until retirement. While I'm still adjusting to the workload and the schedule, I have been writing again. I just finished a joint project with Glen Robinson. We wrote another installment in our Foundation Series which to date includes: Salome's Charger, The Key of Solomon, and Sola Scriptura. You can find links on the home page. 

My next project is to release a paperback version of Leaving. I had just published the eBook when my life fell apart, so I never had the chance to get a cover done. 

I have a lot of book projects in the works, and it's been hard to decide which to work on first. I've decided to begin with This Means War. Anyone who has read my books knows I am fascinated with the spiritual realm.  "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places" Ephesians 6:12, ESV. In This Means War, Haley Wagner finds out how to "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11, ESV). 

"The day after her baptism, Haley wakes up to find her world completely changed. She learns that her parents have died in a train crash. She is shunted into the foster care system and transferred from her posh, private, Christian school into the hellish halls of the local public school. Here she meets the 'rebels' from her church: young people who are viewed as outcasts by the church but who are in reality on the front lines of spiritual warfare. Haley has a choice: stay safe and comfortable or defect to the other side and fight with her new friends."

You can read the first three chapters by clicking the "This Means War" link in the top righthand corner.

Pacific Press has also recently re-released one of my older books that they asked me to edit this summer. It's Making Sabbath Special. It's hot off the press and has a new cover. I was partial to the older one, but change is the only thing you can rely on in life. If you click the cover below, it will take you to the ABC where you can purchase it.
