A Couple Summer Reading Suggestions

Here are some books which just received the Catholic Writers' Guild Seal of Approval.

Bleeder: A Mystery
by John Desjarlais



Award: Catholic Writers Guild Seal of Approval

A stigmatic priest bleeds to death on Good Friday in front of horrified parishioners. A miracle? Or a bloody murder?

"An intelligent, deftly written mystery that offers a skillful blend of reason and faith. A fascinating tale."
Tom Grace, author of The Secret Cardinal

"A complex plot, multi-issue characters and an amazing climax. Wonderful!" The Catholic Company

"It brought tears to my eyes." Dappled Things

"I was absolutely floored! Go out and buy this book!"
Family and Faith


Into the Way of Peace
by Karen Kelly Boyce


Award: Catholic Writers Guild Seal of Approval

Seven people huddle for shelter in a church during a snowstorm. Will their hearts remain frozen to God? Karen's second novel continues that journey of faith.

As a blizzard grips a gritty, time-worn city, the faithful, the weary and the faithless gather for an evening of reflection and prayer.

Karen Kelly Boyce takes the reader along on the journey of each of the gathered souls as they try to find a reason or an answer to their problems and short-comings.

A breast cancer survivor and retired nurse, Karen Kelly Boyce has released two novels that explore the weight and meaning of Catholicism in the 21st Century. Karen's first novel, According to Thy Word, was released in 2004.
