Circles of Fate Novel: 125k Words: Complete

Set at the tail end of the Vietnam War era, this three-part novel takes the reader from Fort Benning, Georgia to Thibodaux, Louisiana.  A romantic saga, Circles of Fate covers nearly twenty years in the lives of Shaunna Chatman and Todd Jameson as they are constantly thrown together and torn apart by fate.  The characters are continually forced to choose between love and duty, right and wrong, standing on faith or succumbing to the world’s viewpoint on life, love, marriage and fidelity.  Secondary characters are equally important to the plot as, with intriguing twists and turns, fate brings together people whose lives will forever be entwined.  Through it all is the hand of God as He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
