Hello World, 
In every book I choose to read, I always hope to learn something new. In “The Deliverer” by Kathi Macias, I learned about the hidden worlds of child sex trafficking and slavery. These are topics I would normally choose to avoid as these are likely the most reprehensible “industries” in existence, but Macias was able draw me into this dark world through the heroine of her book Mara.
In the third book of the “Freedom Series,” Macias tells how Mara, a young Hispanic woman who has been freed after years of sex slavery, must make conscious choices regarding a relationship with God, a potential romantic interest Jonathan and forgiveness to create new life for herself. Interwoven in Mara’s story are the stories of Lawan, a former child sex slave from Thailand, who is adopted by an American couple; Sarah, whose romantic desperation creates a heartbreaking love triangle; and Francesca, who wonders if she should give her soon-to-be born baby up for adoption.
Aside from the various stories of deliverance told in the book, I also appreciated how Macias was able to interweave diverse races and cultures in the book without being obvious. Both Mara and Francesca are Hispanic. Lawan’s new parents are an interracial black and white couple. And Sarah as well as some of the other characters are white. The book takes place in California, Mexico and Thailand.

Hello World,
I just wanted to share a few pics of my weekend. I was one of several vendors that took part in the book market and street fair of the AJC Decatur Book Festival from Aug. 31 – Sept. 2. I shared Booth 208 with Dr. Pamela Thompson, author of “Surviving Mama: Overcoming Strained Mother-Daughter Relationships,” and Judi Mason, author of “The Chloe Chronicles: Life Lessons I Learned From My Cocker Spaniel” and “The Relationship Chronicles: Straight Talk, Real Love, No Drama!”
Setting up our booth…
Pam setting up her easel in front of our booth…
All set up…
A cute replica of Chloe, Judi’s beloved “four-legged life coach,” was very popular with festivalgoers…
Judi & Pam…
Making sure everything is right…
We’re Ready!!!
Pam speaking with one of our first customers…
A mother and daughter writing team and Pam discuss their respective books…
Our neighbors…We had some interesting discussions throughout the day…
Another neighbor…
Support literacy and health!!!
My friend and fellow author Ty Moody, who wrote “When Rain Falls,” the first book in the Victory Gospel Series, stopped by. She was featured in the Emerging Writers Pavilion!
Friends like Mara the Helper and Stephanie stopped by and sat with us in our “living room” as we began to call our booth…
My friends Natasha & Latoicha of luxetips.com stopped by…By this time, as you can see, the heat had gotten to me…
A very stylish festivalgoer…
It was such a pleasure (even in the blazing sun and heat) to speak with people about “After the Altar Call” and spread the good news about God’s love for each of us…
Any thoughts?
