This is a teaser trailer I made for an upcoming project, a short story which will be part of a Christmas Christian fiction anthology for my publisher Ambassador International. Right now, we are aiming for Christmas 2022.

 This is the third and final excerpt from my Christian Space Western short story "Sea Change." This is an scene between two main characters: Jivan Korda, a bounty hunter, and JeLae Lanna, the woman who had a bounty put on her. They're on an outer rim world called Ordax 5.
They were silent for a few moments, just sky gazing. When he did catch a glance at her, she looked longingly at the heavens. What was out there for her, he wondered. “Did that Icerr raise you?” she asked a few moments later, quite casually. Jivan nodded. “Rayzm did alright by me,” he answered. “I never missed a meal, always had shelter, things to do. He’s got his quirks, like anybody. But I got no complaints.” Miss Lanna nodded. “I hope my daughter is as kind in describing me. Father of All knows I did my best.” That got Jivan’s attention, pulling him out of his sullen mood. “You a religious woman, Miss Lanna?” he asked. “I don’t hear too many folks talk that way.” She shrugged. “My true love gave me some...religious texts as a gift. I read them sometimes and I’ve tried to follow those ways. I admit, though, I don’t fully understand their meaning. I’m no Wise One...far from it. I’m just trying to be a better person than I used to be.” Jivan smiled. “That sounds nice. I wish I could aspire to something like that. Father and I are trying to make an honest living. And I admit, you’re not like I expected, Miss Lanna.” Miss Lanna stretched her arms and yawned, even though no sound came out of her mouth. She got to her feet. “You seem like a good kid, Jivan,” she said with a maternal glint. |
