I learned yesterday that 'Tempest of Fire' was nominated by thechristianmanifesto.com for their 2013 Lime Award for Excellence in Fiction. Last year, 'Red Sky at Morning' received the same nomination--and was the only debut novel in its category. I'm hopeful that this will be the year for 'Tempest'!
Work proceeds on the third book in the series; more on that later.
Until then, here's the link to the 5 Star review:

In his debut novel, John Ciarlo writes a deeply moving love story about an aged couple determined to live life their way while frustrating their dysfunctional family and local authorities.
