Waking Lazarus

This month's feature of the Christian Blog Alliance is near and dear to my heart. T.L. Hine's novel, Waking Lazarus, is an excellent read about a man (Jude Allman) who has died three times and, subsequently, had three after-death experiences. Each time, his fame grows until he finds himself a full-fledged media celebrity.

Allman is an extremely private person and *hates* being in the lime light. In an effort to escape his fame, he borrows a name from a gravestone, moves to a small little town in Montana and gets a job as a janitor.

But as all of us know, the past has a way of catching up to us. This psychological thriller was fascinating and well written with twists and turns around every bend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Hines recently found himself interviewed on TV. Click here to see his interview.

I will have the opportunity to meet Tony (Hines) for the first time next week at the International Christian Retail Show. You see, Tony and I share the same editor. Yep. The fella who acquired Bride and all my subsequent novels also acquired Tony. And I have to say, he done good!

Hmm, I was going to tell you to say "hi" to everyone, but there are FAR too many. :) So, how about if you see/meet Brandilyn Collins, Tracie Peterson, Cathy Marie Hake, Colleen Coble, Diann Hunt or Kristin Billerbeck, tell them "Tiff says hi." *g*

Have a great time!
Deeanne said...: Will do, Tiff. And I'll be at ACFW, so we can connect there!

Have fun in CA!
Barb said...: Oh good Tiff/Amb, I've been feeling like everyone on the planet is going to Denver except me. Wish they let commoners in. We buy books!!! Are you gonna take any pictures, Miz Dee???
Deeanne said...: Bunches. I'll be sure to post them. And if it were up to me, I'd have you there quick as a wink. :-)
Meg said...: I won't be in Denver either, Tiff and Barb. Let's take over Deeanne's blog while she's gone. *g*
Deeanne said...: What's this? The second I turn my back? Mutiny!

I'm tellin' ya, can't take my eyes off you for a moment, can I? ;-)
Barb said...: Ha! I'm bettin' one Greg Gist would be willing to help out with the blog that week too?!
Barb said...: PS--I see your fabulous book sales news. What's the difference between the CBD and the CBA? The difference in their purpose(s)?
TLHines.com said...: Awww, Dee. Thanks for the nice words. I owe you a refreshing beverage at ICRS.

And maybe both of us owe Dave a refreshing beverage. :)
Jezreel said...: Hey now! I want to meet both you AND Tony... how do I sneak in to this ICRS? :P
Deeanne said...: I'm gonna hold you to that, Tony.

Jezreel! Good to hear from you, girl. I'd sneak you in in my suitcase, but it's sooooo full I'm gonna have to sit on it to get it closed!

Barb, Greg is gonna fly up for a day or two of the convention. I'll see if I can talk him into doing a post while we're there.
