Self-assured. Perceptive. Determined. Character traits Nick Marshall wears with pride, along with a bit of charm.

He knows himself and what his future holds.

At last, living the life he had long dreamed for himself as a Police Officer, Nick struggles to understand why things he witnessed as a first responder early in his career continue to haunt him. Reoccurring dreams grow a nagging anxiety which, combined with the stress of keeping up with his grueling work roster, as well as extracurricular activities, begin to shadow his professionalism.

Frustrated at himself slipping, Nick begins to take steps to ease his workload when his youth minister drops a bombshell on the Leadership Team that leaves them all reeling, but also sparks a question in Nick’s mind: was he really doing what God wanted him to do?

With rumors starting at work amid a sense of impending threat, Nick continues to pursue the life he’s long envisaged for himself, believing the blessings of God are still upon him. However, when he finds himself in mortal danger, Nick is forced to reconsider everything he’d come to believe and the plans he had for himself.

Will Nick win the battle within his mind and decode the will of God for his life? Will he be willing to let go of his own will and take hold of God’s?

Author Interview

1. Are any of your characters based off of yourself or those close to you?

All the characters have parts of my own testimony woven into their stories.

2. Do you have a favorite time of day you are most productive in your writing?

I generally write whenever I can. Most often it’s at night once I have the kids asleep

in bed, but otherwise the Laptop is always with me no matter where I am.

3. Why did you pick this genre for your book?

I believe God directed me to write in the Teen / Young Adult genre as it’s an

incredibly impressionable time of life. It’s important to have good, clean reading

material available for them. Writing realistic scenarios for young Christians in today’s

world is important for young people to see that God is always with us no matter what

happens and just because you’re a Christian, doesn’t mean life is smooth sailing –

quite the opposite really.

4. How many books do you personally own?

My husband would say too many lol

I haven’t counted, but there is a bookcase in almost every room of the house.

5. What is your next big goal as an author?

Once I finish the Casts of Silver series, I will be working on a follow up series that has

come into mind while I’ve been finishing off the one that I’m currently working on. I

have three started already – just noting down ideas and scenarios at this stage, so

looking forward to getting into them full time.

More from K.J.

Hey! Thanks for stopping by!

Casts of Silver is my debut five book series. After a nagging conviction to write, I asked the Lord what it was He wanted me to pen down. The very next morning, I awoke with five clear stories in my mind.

Unshakable is book 4, of 5. It’s been an incredible journey for me writing this series with each of stories including a part of my own testimony. The series is centered around five youth group leaders, with the stories looking at very real circumstances that young people face in today’s world without sugar coating consequences of individual actions.

However, God is always at work.

But where is He when problems arise?

Well, He is always closer than you think and He’s always working for your good!

Enjoy.
God Bless!
