The Walkabout Scribe
He just wants to breathe the air…
After losing his mom to cancer, Kincade McClanahan plans a trip across the country where he can breathe the air, see the sights, and forget his pain. Along the way he realizes he’s not ready to be part of anyone’s story yet, and he longs to travel anonymously, sinking no roots and letting himself feel nothing. Yet the stories he encounters suck him in—a proposal, a search for a lost child, a girl recovering from surgery—and he has no idea how he’s going to find his way in the world with his heart so fragile and isolated.

He just wants to breathe the air...
After losing his mom to cancer, Kincade McClanahan plans a trip across the country where he can breathe the air, see the sights, and forget his pain. Along the way he realizes he’s not ready to be part of anyone’s story yet, and he longs to travel anonymously, sinking no roots and letting himself feel nothing. Yet the stories he encounters suck him in—a proposal, a search for a lost child, a girl recovering from surgery—and he has no idea how he’s going to find his way in the world with his heart so fragile and isolated.
At a friend’s farm he meets Priscilla, a woman who plans her life to the smallest degree and thinks Kincade’s plan to go walkabout is crazy. God shoves them together again and again, because Priscilla is secretly doubting her plan, and Kincade’s desire to find a new life fascinates her.
It isn’t until Priscilla goes walkabout herself that the pair starts to understand one another, for God intends for them to pull each other along in the journey of maturing, losing, and finding new life again.

When the Flanigans got home, their farm was a mess
Carmen teaches dance at Luke’s studio at the Casa Flanigan farm, and she hasn’t told anyone yet that her plans to travel with a dance troupe were derailed after her aunt, who raised her, suffered a stroke. Instead, she tries to teach and care for her aunt and grieve her lost future all on her own.
Carl Welles is sent to Casa Flanigan by well-meaning family after his life falls apart. Why they think he needs to sit at a farm when he has a whole life to plan is anyone’s guess, but he arrives angry, tired, and broken. Strangely, he only finds peace when he watches Carmen’s aunt to help Carmen out of a bind. But listening to an old lady’s stories is a far cry from putting the pieces of a life back together.
Landon Van Hout, who runs Casa Flanigan while the Flanigans are away, doubts his place on the farm as well as his future, and when Carl shows up with the uncanny ability to do anything and do it well, those doubts get worse. Prone to accidents and running from his past, he worries his girlfriend Shanna and the rest of his friends as he tries to make sense of his life.
When Luke and Susan come home unexpectedly, they bring all the problems on their farm to a head. Maybe before it’s all over Luke and Susan will be alone as their guests and friends scatter to deal with their wounds alone, or maybe Casa Flanigan is about to live up to its reputation of healing broken souls.
Border Crossing:
A Pair of Novels
Because some stories take two books in two series on two continents
Some tales take two books in two series on two continents to tell
Taking characters from multiple series, this pair of books follows friendship and romance around the world, starting on Casa Flanigan, a farm in rural America, and ending in St. Ninian’s Sanctuary, a Christian retreat center nearly on the bottom of the world, to tell a story of sacrifice, compassion, and love. Although they take place in two separate series, the pair of books can stand alone, so even if you’ve never read one or both of the series, go ahead and jump in for an adventure that spans continents.
In The Mosaic Hero, meet Mitch, construction worker hiding from his life, Sami, college student hiding from her shame, and Aaron, a Flanigan family friend hiding from his pain. The trio meets at Casa Flanigan and begins to forge friendships and a romance, but danger has followed one of them here, and everything they’ve worked for might fall apart.
In Call the Dawn, the trio has retreated to Sami’s home, St. Ninian’s Sanctuary, a Christian retreat center on the bottom of the world. As Aaron heals from an accident that almost took his life, the group meets Trixie, a young mystery writer hiding from her failure. But when danger strikes again, Trixie’s wit, as well as her heart, might help these friends find peace, healing, and love.
Mitch was doing construction at the farm while hiding from his past. Sami had made a mess of her life and didn’t know where to go. Aaron was so broken nobody could begin to reach him. Yet they drifted together and began a journey into one another’s wounded hearts that would take them across the world. The Mosaic Hero takes place in the Casa Flanigan series, followed by Call the Dawn in the St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series, all in one volume. (Click MORE for full description)
