Interview with Laura Thomas, author of The Final Word, is an absolute treat for fans of Christian romantic suspense. In this inspiring and heartwarming episode, Laura shares her long-buried dream of becoming a writer, the sweet support of her husband, and how she transitioned from children’s magazine stories to heart-racing romantic suspense. We dive into her latest release, The Final Word, the second book in her Bite of Betrayal series, and talk all things writing, baking, and trusting God’s timing. With themes of surrender, sisterhood, and second chances, this episode is packed with encouragement for both readers and writers. Get ready to swoon over Miles Morgan (yes, an opera singer!) and root for Sophie as she navigates love, loss, and a haunting mystery that follows her from Paris to the English countryside.

    Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV):
    “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”

    Laura Thomas’s New Book: The Final Word

    When aspiring author Sophie Brooks chooses to trade a vibrant Paris life for the tranquility of a quaint English village, she imagines her final days in the City of Lights will be magical. Sophie doesn’t anticipate a chilling encounter with an old flame—nor does she plan to find a new love on her very last night.

    Miles Morgan’s life has been defined as a successful opera singer—until now. His chance encounter with Sophie in Paris ignites renewed hope … if he can figure out his next chapter and if she can accept what his future may hold.

    In the heart of the English countryside, Sophie and Miles’ fairy tale romance turns into a noxious nightmare as the darkness of Sophie’s past—and her volatile ex—catch up with her. Both Sophie and Miles must surrender everything to the One they thought had betrayed them as they lean into love and fight for their lives.

      Her family secrets. His guilt. One road trip that changes everything.

      Raven Cunningham has built a quiet life between the shelves of a small-town bookshop, ghostwriting stories for others while hiding her own. She’s long believed her father abandoned her, until a letter from her late grandmother reveals a shocking truth.

      Convinced the reclusive author J.C. Nevermore is her father, Raven sets out to uncover the real story. When her childhood friend Cole Walker, a former Army medic wrestling with his own scars, offers to help, she’s not sure if she can trust him . . . or herself.

      As they chase clues and revisit old memories, what begins as a search for answers becomes a journey toward something deeper.

      Finding Forevermore is a heartfelt story about faith, family, and the kind of love that’s anchored in God’s unfailing grace.
