Welcome to Episode 114 of the Warrior Words podcast!

It's time for another "Summer Rewind" episode, where I'm taking some older episodes and re-airing them. I'm sprucing them up a bit and adding a little commentary.

In this episode, I showcase James C. Magruder! Jim's episode was the first ever to make it to video. Once we were able to get his episode to the YouTube Channel, we started getting all of the episodes to video. Jim is the trend-setter! Have you subscribed to the Warrior Words YouTube Channel yet? Please consider hitting that subscribe button & the notifications bell.

Since that episode, Jim has been working hard on a new novel while promoting The Desert Between Us. In fact, this book just won the Christian Market Book Award's 2025 Romance Novel of the Year!

Have a listen to Jim's personal story that inspired The Desert Between Us. Then pick up your own copy using the link below.

I thought this might be a good way to introduce newer listeners to episodes they may have missed. And a way for my long-time listeners to hear something they may have missed.
