COVER REVEAL!
I'm thrilled to reveal the new cover of my first book, Not Again. After much deliberation, I decided to design a new cover, making all the books in the Not Again series more consistent and cohesive with each other. I wasn't planning on doing a refresh so soon. However, since an opportunity presented itself, I pushed up the makeover. I have some swag leftover from the original cover like bookmarks and magnets. For a chance to win free swag, tell me your thoughts regarding the new Not Again cover in the comments.
Drum roll please... 🥁... 🥁... 🥁...
MARIA'S MOMENTS
By this time in the United States, schools across the country are in full swing. This year is a little different for my family. Although I'm back to subbing, this is the first year my kiddos are not going back to school. Since they are college graduates, their time attending school is over. It's an end of an era. There have been other changes that have made me ponder new beginnings and have caused me to be thankful for how God blessed us throughout the years. Change can be hard. All change is stressful, even if it's a positive change. What new changes do you face? Are you embracing them? Or are you feeling apprehensive? Perhaps you're feeling both. The key is knowing that God will sustain you. He will never let the righteous fall. (Psalm 55:22).

✨The Not Again Series Description✨
Four friends. Trauma.
Heart-warming. Unforgettable…
The nostalgic series, Not Again, is a sweeping saga that goes beyond the traditional, formulaic Christian themes. This epic, six-book narrative explores the in-depth lives of four female friends who share a special bond as told by each of them at different stages of their lives. Take an unexpected journey with these inspiring girls from the life-altering challenges they face growing up during the 1980s to stepping into the harsh responsibilities of womanhood in the early 1990s. Their romances are as swoon-worthy as their trials are gut-wrenching. As gripping standalones, each life-affirming book demonstrates the unconditional and fierce love God has for each of us and will be etched on the hearts of readers forever. Not Again, healing hearts one page at a time.
LET'S JOIN FORCES!
With autumn on our heels, this is a time for reflection and a time for change. It's also a time for me to prepare for my upcoming releases. As a result, I need your help. I'm looking for reviewers like you who will post on Amazon and your choice of social media platforms regarding the four books I have coming out beginning in 2025. You'll have a month to read an advanced copy of each book in exchange for an honest review to be posted on or soon after the release date. The Not Again series has the potential to change many lives for the better. Readers have begun to reach out to me and told me that thanks to Not Again, they are on the path of healing. What an incredible feeling it would be to find out that someone accepted Christ because they read my books. That can only happen if the series is read. Should you desire to join me in healing hearts one post at a time, consider being a member of my amazing launch team. If you are on Facebook, kindly send me a PM to apply. Outside of Facebook, please send me an email to: authormariathenriksen@gmail.com.
It's best to read the first two books before reading the rest.
