The Bauers' marriage looks picture-perfect now, but it wasn't always that way. God shepherded them through a lot to get them to a stable point.

Each episode of Season 19 is a chapter of Deeper, and you can now find it—along with Sweeter and Faster—in a single collection: A Closer Walk.

Authors Katherine Briggs and Helen Dent joined Jere Steele at Logos Bookstore in Dallas for a Q&A about their young adult novels, what authors inspire them, and how they love to connect with their readers.

Season Eight: Faster by Jere Steele

Each episode of Season Eight will be a chapter of Faster, my second novel. The episodes will release all at once in case you want to listen all the way through like an audiobook. And if you'd like to actually read the ebook, here's the link:

Faster on Amazon

If you've just stumbled on this, here's a quick summary of what Faster is about.

Jamie Romans is a journalism professor who has come back to her small Alabama hometown to take care of her dying father. Webb Brock, Jamie's childhood best friend, is recently widowed and completely consumed with guilt over his wife's death and his long-time feelings for Jamie. They reconnect over a mutual love of running, and the novel explores themes of redemption and community.

Also factoring in the story is Webb's feisty and funny mother, Libby, who runs a rogue ladies' Bible study. If you've read or listened to Sweeter, you'll hear a few familiar characters from it as well.

This is a Christian romance novel, so it is a clean romance. However, there is a fairly intense romantic scene in chapter eight. In this intro episode, I explain my reasons for leaving it in, but if you really dislike those types of scenes, you might want to jump ahead at that part in chapter eight.

This is actually a great example of another theme in the book: how Christians can disagree well on secondary issues. I hope you enjoy listening (or reading) as much as I enjoyed writing and recording it.

Julie Bonn Blank is an author, a domestic violence advocate, and an abuse recovery leader.

So a quick content warning. In this episode, we discuss trafficking, domestic abuse, trauma, and similar sensitive subjects. The discussion is not graphic, but there is talk about these subjects and specific situations.

Julie's faith and dedication to her work are inspiring, and I love how she talks about fully worshipping God by fully using the gifts He's given her.

What I envision for this podcast is a place for women who write fiction to share their stories in audio form—and ultimately to tell God's bigger story through our smaller ones.

We're just getting started, so as of right now, the stories are from me.

Season One: Sweeter by Jere Steele

Each episode of Season One will be a chapter of Sweeter, my first novel. And there will be a wrap-up episode from me at the end like this intro here at the beginning. The episodes will release all at once in case you want to listen all the way through like an audiobook. And if you'd like to actually read the ebook, here's the link:

Sweeter - Kindle edition on Amazon

If you've just stumbled on this, here's a quick summary of what Sweeter is about.

Carole Allen is a widow who has moved to Davidson, Texas, with her young son to start a new life. Charlie North is a widower and long-time resident of Davidson who hasn’t moved past the death of his beloved wife, Honey, five years before. Honey was the children’s pastor at their church, and really the entire church community hasn’t moved past her death either.

So this is a contemporary May-December romance between two characters who both need healing. I wanted it to take a nuanced look at grief and community, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed writing and recording it.
