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
Mitch Severn is a construction worker at Casa Flanigan hired to tile floors. Recently accused of burning down a construction site and learning to live a nomadic life, Mitch tries to keep his head down, stay out of trouble, and focus on the job and not everything he’s lost. Unfortunately, he is a Christian on a Christian worksite, and it seems everyone around him wants to dig into his façade and upend his peace.
Sami Mallone, college student, has made a mess of her life. Her family works in ministry on the southern tip of the world. Her twin brother is taking classes to join that ministry, and yet Sami has been thrown out of school and finds herself alone, ashamed, and unsure what to do next.
Aaron Van der Haas is living at Casa Flanigan hoping to heal, but in truth he is hiding from his life. Working on the construction site to keep himself from facing his demons, he befriends Mitch, beginning an unlikely friendship that will eventually span continents.
Mitch and Sami find one another, two broken souls on the grounds of Casa Flanigan. As Mitch is drawn further into Sami’s pain and becomes privy to her heavy secrets, he falls for the girl, even though she’s younger and wiser than he is. He’s not good for her, but he can’t quite get his heart to acknowledge that and leave her to face an uncertain future all alone.
Unfortunately, danger has followed Mitch to the farm, threatening the safety and lives of everyone Mitch cares about…
After an accident nearly takes Aaron Van der Haas’ life, his friends Mitch and Sami conspire to get him to Sami’s home, St. Ninian’s Sanctuary, an island retreat center not far from the southern tip of the world. With Mitch to help him with his new physical limits and Sami to help with issues of the heart, he lands on the island feeling more hope than he’s felt in years.
Trixie Blackwood is a guest on the island hoping to fight writer’s block and determine her future. Faced with Aaron, Sami, and Mitch, she realizes she’s stumbled into an interesting story, and she is drawn to the trio, especially Aaron, who appears so stoic and harsh while clearly compassionate toward his friends.
A writer of mystery, Trixie discovers a mystery on the island, and Aaron gets swept into the woman’s imagination. Along the way, Sami nearly loses her life, Mitch fights for acceptance from Sami’s family, and danger from an unlikely quarter finds all four of them and threatens the entire island.
Taking characters from multiple series, this pair of books follows friendship and romance around the world, starting on Casa Flanigan and ending in St. Ninian’s Sanctuary, to tell a story of sacrifice, compassion, and love in its many forms. 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.
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)
