Can a Book Change Your Life? Find out for 99¢


Hi Reader,

You wouldn't be on my mailing list if you didn't like to read. But have you read a book that changed your life? (Besides the Bible, in a class of its own.)

I don't mean just non-fiction. In fact, I heard a pastor say "We read nonfiction for information but we read fiction for transformation."

Here's how a prominent theologian put it.

The deep places in our lives, places of resistance and embrace, are not ultimately reached by instruction ... [but] only by stories, images, metaphors ... Walter Brueggemann

Think of Tolkien or CS Lewis.

As for the rest of us authors, "transformation" may be a stretch. But I know a clean contemporary Western, with suspense and romance elements, that has inspired many readers: Someplace North, Someplace Wild.

This brand-new, completely reworked edition just hit Amazon. For 7 days you can buy the eBook for 99¢. Or the print version for just 17.99.


Jerry Jenkins has written 21 NY Times best sellers, including the Left Behind series and The Chosen novels. He was kind enough to read my book. Here's his response:

I’m impressed with Gary’s debut novel and proud of him. His story has all the twists and turns you want in a yarn that just might keep you up all night.

Cody Brandon (the cowboy in the picture) is a determined, resourceful, honorable but impulsive young Texan who seeks his fortune as a mountain rancher in the wilds of British Columbia, and things don't go as he figured.

Will he overcome a bazillion obstacles and prevail in his goal? Will he win the heart of the charming Julie Stewart? Or will he end up in prison and lose it all?

I'll never tell. 🤠

Hi Reader, Here's another preview for my insiders. Today I uploaded a new cover for Someplace North, Someplace Wild. Now the new edition is up at Amazon. But I want you see something I created, before I release it to my whole list. It's a video ad that will show up at Amazon. Just 20 seconds long. I'll bet you can spare that. https://tinyurl.com/54zvtxdv Let me know what you think! Gary Brumbelow gary@garybrumbelow.com 13951 SE 312th Drive, Boring, OR 97009Unsubscribe · Preferences

Hi Reader, Even in days of conflict like we have in our nation, God always points His people forward. He expects us to pursue His calling on our lives. That calling will look different for each person. Needy people are everywhere. You have abilities that could make a difference to someone. For example, 80 percent of Americans would like to write a book. But many think "my life isn’t interesting enough." I thought that, too, but to my amazement, I've sold over 750 copies of two novels with...

Hello Reader, We had a splendid five-week trip in September-October ... lots of great connections in Nebraska and North & South Dakota. And an interesting pheasant story. More about that soon. First I wanted to get out this news to my local friends. A wonderful opportunity to shop books for Christmas is coming soon. A bunch of local Christian authors (including me) will be displaying. Every November, in preparation for Advent, the CAPNW sponsors this event in McMinnville. I'll have both my...
