Nothing to Hide: Support BDB and Enjoy a Great Summer Read

NothingtoHideAd-500p
Blogging about the physical form of the Good Book doesn't keep the lights on. Fortunately, there's detective fiction. My latest novel about Houston homicide detective Roland March is in bookstores now. It's called Nothing to Hide, and it's the best book in the series, if I do say so myself. Quite a few Bible Design Blog readers have discovered my fiction and enjoyed it immensely. When you buy my books, you get a great read and help support Bible Design Blog at the same time. If you really want to help out, you can buy my books and recommend them to other people.

Are the books any good? Obviously, I'm going to say yes. For an outside opinion, consider this: Pattern of Wounds, the book that came out last summer, is now a finalist for the Christy Awards in Best Suspense. If you're not familiar with them, the Christy Awards are the top honor in Christian publishing. Byron Borger of Hearts & Minds Bookstore included Nothing to Hide on his Top 10 list for summer reading, too. (If you want to help two great causes at once, buy the book from Byron!)

Thanks for your time. We will now resume with Bible-related content.
