CLADACH AUTHOR APPEARANCES AND NEWS
Winter has arrived and so has the long-awaited 3rd book in our "Mysterious Ways" series. In Green Pastures: A Frontier Novel, by Colorado's own Donna Westover Gallup, is available from Cladach Publishing, through online retailers, and bookstores. The whole series will warm your heart. Curl up near a fireplace with hot cocoa or tea and enjoy In Green Pastures, set in 19th-century Colorado Territory. Charlie finds out he's a millionaire and his resulting adventures take him on a train to Missouri. He encounters an old Indian chief, the Jesse James outlaws, rogue relatives, baffling romance, and skeletons in the family closet. These bring challenges that test Charlie's budding manhood, skills, and faith in ways that will entertain and inspire readers of all ages.
In keeping with the Colorado frontier theme, we have used paintings from Colorado artist Dan Young for the covers on each of the novels in this series. He has created beautiful renditions of the Colorado high country which fit perfectly with the way we believe Charlie would have viewed his ranch.
Mysterious Ways Series of Frontier Novels:
#1 White as Snow
#2 Rock of Refuge

New Title Released this Summer
Author Susan Elaine Jenkins has started the next phase of her life -- ministering to women -- with the release of her memoir, Scandalon, in which she tells how sabotage, shame, and shattered dreams led her to "get away from it all" as a teacher in China. She shares many experiences of her time in China and her discovery that God's love is "scandalous." Find out more about the story and the author.
As we announced earlier, National Geographic TV aired a series of programs about hostage crises, "Locked Up Abroad." Our author McGill Alexander and his family were featured in a 45-minute episode which dramatized the story of how they were held hostage in Taipei, Taiwan and used as human shields in shoot-outs with the police. Now the entire episode is available to view online. You can read the full story in Hostage in Taipei : A True Story of Forgiveness and Hope, available through our web store, major online retailers, and any bookseller.

NO MORE FEAR -- Now For Sale in Bookstores in Cambodia
Cladach's first title, No More Fear: From Killing Fields to Harvest Fields (by Physa Chanmany as told to Catherine Lawton) is now available in Cambodia and Laos through Monument Books. Both a book retailer and wholesaler, Monument Books has stores in Phnom Penh, the Phnom Penh airport, Siem Reap Airport, Vientiane, and Luang Prabang.
First published in 1999, No More Fear tells the story of Physa Chanmany's childhood in a Buddhist village in the jungles of Cambodia, and the terror he experienced during the Killing Fields. The book tells how, as a refugee, Physa met Jesus Christ and became a Christian minister in the United States.
We at Cladach are thankful that this moving, true story can be available in Cambodia, a country devastated by the Khmer Rouge genocide of its people and culture, where at one time all books were burned and many people were executed just for being educated and able to read.
May God bless the country of Cambodia and give them the light of His hope.
