MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 30, 2015 /Standard Newswire/ -- For over a decade Jerry Jenkins (photo) has searched for fresh Christian fiction talent through his Operation First Novel contest. For the first time, they have selected three winners for 2014. The books are being released both in paperback and ebook form by independent publisher Mountainview Books, LLC.
1st Place: The Calling of Ella McFarland by Linda Brooks Davis. This historical romance, set in 1905 on the brink of Oklahoma statehood, grew from Linda's desire to share the stories of her ancestors overcoming hardship and heartbreak through grit and faith. With the women's suffrage movement raging, Ella is forced to make decisions about her faith, family, and aspirations.
2nd Place: Double Header by Clarice G. James is a contemporary story about a female sports columnist who discovers she has a half-brother she's never met. She must come to terms with the legacy of her imperfect father as well as the unattainable bar she has set for her husband. Library Journal called it "a dramatic and tension-filled tale."
3rd Place: Snow Out of Season by Christy Brunke is a women's fiction novel about two women separated by time and struggling with devastating pregnancies. The book received a starred review in Library Journal and has been endorsed by bestselling authors Sandra Byrd and Brandy Vallance, who called the story "beautifully poignant."
