How many times have you picked up a book,

looked into its pages and discovered it was full

of violence or sex. So you put it back on the

shelf and remain disappointed with today's literature.

You won't have that experience with my books, and

particularly with the Wendy Trotter book you hold in

your hand.

As a writer of Christian literature I have made it a

policy to intermingle the values we treasure with the

story line.

Wendy Trotter is a somewhat typical teenager who is

very much devoted to her church and her Lord. Her

mentor, a Pastor Zem, has a class of teenage boys and

girls that he instructs in the eternal verities.

Everyone knows one can't shut out the world from

one's life. It keeps intruding, as it does in Wendy Trotter's

world.

But unlike most girls her age, Wendy faces the problems

that arise with the indomitable faith of a Christian,

a faith that says there is nothing that God can't do. Nothing

is impossible with God.

Pastor Zem remains an inscrutable purveyor of Truth

and is always there to remind Wendy of the Bible Truth

that can solve any problem we face. Even in the face of

the Devil and his cohorts, Wendy Trotter and Pastor Zem

hold high the Cross and frustrate the witches and the

warlocks. Some of Old Scratch's followers wind up in

the church. And there we see the age-old conflict of Christ

versus the Antichrist.I enjoyed bringing Wendy Trotter to a wide audience

through Trafford Publishing, and I hope that you will

not only enjoy it, but pass the word to your friends, that

there is now a new Christian genre in literature that they

may enjoy as well.

And may this book be a blessing to you and yours,
