NEW
STORY FROM DERNIER
PUBLISHING!
Hello! Janet here. I'm a publisher of
Christian books for children, but I also love to write! I'd like to
introduce you now to my latest story, Revenge of the Flying
Carpet.
When my children started to read 'chapter
books' it was difficult finding Christian stories for them to read.
Where were the books where the characters pray, read the Bible, go on
adventures and solve mysteries? :-) What about books where children
discover that God loves them? At the back of my mind I felt a calling
to start up a publishing company, but it seemed impossible (and
ridiculous!). Why me? I had no background in business, publishing,
sales, or marketing! So I did what came easier to me and started
writing stories instead!
Then in 2003 my first husband died, and I
decided that if the Lord wanted me to do something I'd better get on
with it. None of us knows how long we have. So I took a deep breath
and set up Dernier Publishing. After all, I guessed that if I was
looking for Christian books for my children, many more people must be
searching too.

I
didn't want to ruin anyone else's stories while I was still finding
out what to do, so I finished writing London's Gone
and followed it up with The Treasure Hunt and
Mystery in the Snow. Bit by bit
I learnt how to
transform these stories from Word documents into paperbacks, and so
Dernier Publishing was born. (Yes, that is a strange name, but I used
to live in a Dernier Road!)By the grace of God we now have several
authors working with us.
Let
me tell you a bit about Revenge of the Flying
Carpet, though.
The
main character is a
fourteen-year-old
boy
called Paul who has a sister who makes his life a misery. Paul
finds a magic carpet in his gran's dusty loft, and
thinks it's going to help him to get revenge on
Trinity, but instead . . . no, I won't tell you any more!
Just
to say, the story explores the themes of revenge, justice,
forgiveness and mercy in a Christian context. I hope and pray that
many young people around the world (10-14-ish) will enjoy reading the
story and also find it encouraging, inspiring and even helpful. After
all, forgiveness is at the heart of the good news of Jesus.
Revenge of the Flying Carpet
is currently only available as a kindle book. I hope to bring it
out as a paperback at some point, but some other new books are taking
precedence. (Email me if you don't receive the Dernier Publishing
newsletter to make sure you don't miss out on any new releases!)Email Janet
Here are a couple of reviews:
“A
brilliant, captivating story which includes good biblical truths
about forgiveness, mercy and being a follower of Christ. I really
enjoyed reading it and couldn't wait to get to the next chapter!”
- Naomi
“Very
engaging. I understood from it the importance of forgiveness.”
- Reuben
The
price is $2.99 (£1.99) from the Amazon kindle store. (Don't worry if
you don't have a kindle, anybody can read Kindle books—even without
a Kindle device—with the FREE Kindle app for smartphones,
tablets and computers.)

P.S.
I was Evans before I was Wilson. :-) Because I already had three
books out, I decided to stick to Evans for this new book. But it's
still me!
