Gone with the Wind awakened my curiosity for history, as well as a passion for historical fiction. I still remember the sun coming up and the birds welcoming the dawn as I turned that last page. I read the entire book, in one day, when I was home sick from school. When I was thirteen years old I read Gone with the Wind. How did you know you wanted to be a writer?

THE INSIDE SCOOP WITH CONNILYN COSSETTEġ. I have all the links and book info below! Connilyn’s new book, Counted with the Stars, is available in stores and online. So, if you’ve never read anything by Connilyn before–or perhaps have but have yet to read her full backlist–did you see anything that caught your eye? I sure hope so! As always, you can click on each book cover in this post to view that book on Amazon.Today Connilyn Cossette is graciously answering questions about her writing life. Isn’t the cover gorgeous? It’s so different from her other books, but very striking! I am counting down the days until this book–which will be the first in a duology–releases in December! Ultimately, Eliora and Ronen are caught up in the battle for the soul of Israel and its future under the leadership of Samuel, the last judge before the era of the kings begins. He never expected that the Philistine girl he rescued years ago would now be part of the very family he’s tasked to deceive.Īs Ronen’s attempts to charm Eliora lead them in unexpected directions, betrayal leaves Eliora with strained family ties and Ronen questioning his own loyalties.


Ronen is a Levite musician determined to return the ark to Shiloh, where his tribe believes it belongs. There, the family she was adopted into has guarded the ark at the top of a mountain in seclusion. Eight years ago, when the Philistines stole and then surrendered the ark of the covenant back to the Israelites, Eliora left her Philistine homeland to follow the ark to the community of Kiryat Yearim.
