Based on Psalm 37, High Noon Justice, is volume one of the author’s first Christian fiction novels.  When wickedness surrounds you like a flood, be sure to know that God is in the midst of all your troubles and you can trust in Him.  This profound work of fiction sheds light on the justice of the Lord given to the righteous as His inheritance.

Intriguing and fast-paced, this novel focuses on a family that has been in ministry for years and tells the story of betrayal, greed and self-fulfilling ambition that often gets in the way of God ordained plans.  Scarlett is about to get the jolt of a lifetime in which her pastor-elect husband, Carson Eugene Montgomery, declares a staggering announcement.  After five years of faithfully serving along his side, Carson has decided his that he has “other interests.”  That interest is replacing his wife, Scarlett, with none other than his latest conquest, Rebekkah Hudson.  The story line continues as many characters come to life – some you love, some you will hate.  There are Scarlett’s parents-Bible quoting and preaching, and George Watson – the big joker.  Characters that will remind you of those in your past and shed light on the insidious human nature that sometimes tears churches and ministries apart. 

As for Scarlett – purpose is being birthed and learning to trust in the Lord with all her heart is difficult, but she perseveres and quickly understands the real meaning of Scripture, that faith is dead without works and hopes that justice will be served.  A wonderfully encouraging read.
