Meet the Author! Debbie Blankenship will be setup in our shop this Saturday from 10-noon!

Debbie is a retired grandmother from the Midwest who turned her study of Revelation into a gripping three-book series.

The “Gone” trilogy follows journalist John Blakely as he investigates a world where people have mysteriously disappeared. What starts as the story of a lifetime quickly becomes deeply personal, pulling him toward faith, danger, and a family he never expected.

Don't miss your chance to meet Debbie and get some of her books!
