This Christmas, if you’re craving stories that hold the quiet ache of hope rather than the noise of cliché. You might find yourself in one of mine. No tinsel. No tidy bows. Just rain-streaked windows, unanswered prayers, and the stubborn glimmer of grace in spaces where silence has settled too long. For readers who believe faith isn’t about certainty, but about showing up anyway. https://fluentcreations.wixsite.com/rsca2025/books #fyp #booklover #insperation #GodsLove

Shadows of Mercy is now available. A story for those who believe grace isn’t soft, it’s showing up in the rain, stitching wounds, saying names the world tried to bury. No clichés. No noise. Just truth, silence, and the kind of hope that earns its light. Link: https://shorturl.at/rfFF1 #ChristianFiction #NewRelease #LiterarySuspense #CleanRead #HopeHarborSeries #fyp

Rain doesn’t wash things clean—it just shows what’s already broken. *Shadows of Mercy* is for those who’ve prayed in the dark and heard only their own breath in reply. A story of guilt, grace, and the space between them. Link in first comment #ChristianSuspense #LiteraryFiction #SouthAfricanFiction #faith #lordsbookdailys #fyp

You don’t hear the storm coming. You feel it in the salt on your lips, the silence where the gulls used to cry, the way the church lights flicker like someone’s holding their breath. Shadows of Mercy isn’t about redemption you can preach. It’s about the kind you bleed for. Cold rain. Fractured faith. One choice in the dark that changes everything. If you’ve ever stood at the edge of belief and wondered whether to step back or fall, this book knows your name. 📖 Now available - Link in first comment. #ChristianSuspense #LiteraryFiction #ShadowsOfMercy #NewRelease #BookTwitter #FaithAndDoubt #SouthAfricanFiction

I’ve been asked more than once: Why write suspense through a Christian lens? Why not just offer hope? The answer is simple: Hope without honesty isn’t hope, it’s evasion. In Shadows of Mercy, there are no altar calls. No open Bibles on nightstands. No sudden conversions under glowing streetlamps. What there is, intentionally, is a scarred Marine who hasn’t prayed in eight years, a grieving counselor who questions whether grace even applies to men like him, and a boy who only speaks through drawings because the world taught him silence was safer. This isn’t a rejection of faith. It’s a deeper fidelity to it. Too often, Christian fiction flattens the human experience into a before-and-after binary. Lost versus found, broken versus healed, darkness versus light. But real life, and real faith, live in the in-between. In the fog over the harbor. In the silence between Amen. In the moment you choose to stay, not because you’ve figured it all out, but because someone else is still drowning. Mercy, I’ve come to believe, doesn’t shine despite the shadows. It moves through them. It’s not a feeling. It’s a verb. It’s Mara handing Ethan a bowl of stew when he’s covered in blood. It’s Delaney stitching his wound without asking for his testimony first. It’s Mateo drawing a net full of stars and naming it truth. That’s the kind of mercy I want to write toward: - Not soft, but sharp. - Not easy, but chosen. - Not loud, but relentless. Shadows of Mercy is my attempt to honor that. No manipulation. No manufactured piety. Just people, flawed, frightened, faithful in their own quiet way, learning that the most sacred act isn’t speaking for God, but speaking a name the world tried to bury. Because sometimes, that’s how resurrection begins. - Riaan Schlebusch Author of Shadows of Mercy | Literary Christian Fiction Rooted in Truth, Not Trope #faith #christian

Haunted by the unsolved death of his fellow Marine, Ethan Cole returns to the rain-lashed coast of Hope Harbor with nothing but a sealed envelope and a secret that could destroy him. All he wants is to disappear, but the past has other plans. #booklaunch #readers #christianfiction #BookPromo #fyp

He came to repay a debt. He stayed to speak a name the world tried to bury. #booklaunch #christian #fyp #HopeHarbourSeries
