Day 2 of the Stand Alone Challenge

F804A09C-623D-4D4D-BCCD-4B00F304554C

Yesterday was a successful launch for Stand Alone! Thanks to readers like you, it hit the #1 New Release for Contemporary Christian Fiction on Amazon! (As of right now, it’s still at that spot, but Amazon updates their stats hourly, so no telling how long it will stay that way!) If you have’t gotten your copy yet, please order today! And if you haven’t joined in the Instagram photo challenge, today is a great day to start! Find me @ruthmeyerauthor to join in the fun. Today’s prompt is Family.

In every book of the Sola Series, Grace’s family has faced challenges that could easily tear them apart. Yet God is faithful in bringing healing and forgiveness to broken and strained relationships. In Stand Alone, Jackson has to decide how to handle his relationship with his estranged father even as he helps his best friend, whose family is falling apart.

What is a book that explores the theme of family?

I love to see the answers people come up with for the photo prompts. Enter the challenge for a chance to win all four Sola Books!

And I’m sorry, but I just can’t resist including a screenshot of the #1 New Release! Thanks again, readers!

Stand Alone Launch Day and Instagram Contest!

D1483534-B5CD-474D-A0A4-4B6620B52873

Today is release day for Stand Alone! Order your copy to continue reading the story of Grace and her family. Instead of a blog tour for this book, I’m hosting a photo challenge, so hop onto Instagram to enter. Today’s photo prompt is Resiliance.

Throughout the Sola Series, the Williams family has had many opportunities to prove their resilience. In Stand Alone, both Grace and Jackson are presented with a different reality than they planned on. Grace’s new season of life makes her reconsider her plans, while Jackson must rethink his future in light of a football injury that puts his scholarship in jeopardy.

Who is your favorite book character that exhibits resilience in the face of changes or challenges?

Post a photo of the book you use to answer the question, use the challenge hashtag (#StandAloneBook) when you post about the day’s prompt, and follow me @ruthmeyerauthor. Then you’ll be entered to win a signed book bundle of the entire Sola Series! Happy reading!

Stand Alone Sneak Peek

One week until launch day for Stand Alone! Fans of Jackson will enjoy this installment of the Sola Series, which focuses on Jackson’s adjustment to college life as he struggles to find his identity after a sports injury crushes his dream of college football. He’s not the only one to face changes, though. The entire family experiences transition as the kids get older and enter new phases of life. Stand Alone is about identity, character, and standing up for the truth, because God promises His children will never stand alone.

Contest Time!

With all the excitement of new releases for the Sola Series, it’s easy for my first book to get lost in the shuffle! Six years ago this week I received a contract for Our Faith from A to Z, the children’s book that made me an author! But despite good sales for the book, it has relatively few reviews. Potential buyers often read reviews to help them make their final decision. So it’s time for another contest! Everyone who reviews Our Faith from A to Z will be entered into a drawing to receive a signed advance copy of Stand Alone! (Official launch date is Sept 23, but the winner of the contest will receive it before then!) You can leave a review on multiple sites for multiple entries into the drawing: CPH, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Goodreads. Once you’ve left a review, sign up via the contest form. Contest runs through Sunday, September 8, and the winner will be announced on Monday morning. Enter today! (And while you’re at it, leave a review for the Sola books as well! 🙂
