Join the Launch Team for By Their Fruits

Your voice matters. Be part of bringing this powerful debut novel into the world—and into the hands of readers who need hope most.

For over thirty-five years, I followed a man I believed was an apostle. When I started this novel, I didn’t know if I was documenting a powerful movement of God—or uncovering a story of spiritual manipulation that had to be told.

By Their Fruits is the fictional outflow of that real-life journey. And I need your help to launch it.

What You'll Get as a Launch Team Member

  • An exclusive discount on the print version (so your review is a “verified purchase”)

  • Early access to review instructions (and yes—you can post even before you finish the book!)

  • An invitation to the launch party — OCTOBER 18!

Not Ready to Join the Launch Team Yet?

Start with a short story that stands alone—and speaks deeply.

If you’ve ever wrestled with spiritual power, broken trust, or the ache of faith gone quiet... The Maverick’s Call is for you.

This short story introduces Dallas Sturgis—a man staring down his own legacy, questioning the movement he helped build, and wondering if it’s too late to make things right.

It’s a glimpse into the world of By Their Fruits, but you don’t need to commit to the novel to start here.

The temperature gauge on the wall read

eighty-five degrees, the air thick as molasses—just like

Grandma used to describe. But there was this ice-cold chill

in me I just couldn’t shake.”

— Dallas from The Maverick's Call

FAQS

Do I have to finish the book before leaving a review?

Not at all. We welcome reviews from any honest place—whether you’ve read the whole book or just a few chapters. A short, thoughtful impression is more than enough to help another reader find this story.

What kind of review are you hoping for?

We’re not asking for praise—we’re asking for honesty. If something moved you, challenged you, or made you reflect, share that. If you had mixed feelings, those are welcome too. Every sincere review adds credibility.

Why do you need Amazon reviews?

Amazon gives more visibility to books with at least 100 reviews. That makes a huge difference in helping people discover By Their Fruits—especially those wrestling with questions of faith, control, and healing.

What does “verified purchase” mean, and why does it matter?

Amazon flags reviews from people who bought the book themselves with a “Verified Purchase” label, which builds more trust with new readers. That’s why we offer a special discounted print version just for launch team members.

I don’t have a big platform. Can I still help?

Absolutely. This launch team isn’t about influencers—it’s about authentic voices. If you believe in the story and are willing to share it honestly, that’s exactly what we need.

Will I be reminded to leave a review?

Yes—but only kindly 😊 You’ll receive a few emails with simple instructions and encouragement. Once you’ve posted your review, just click the “Review Complete” button or email me the link, and we’ll stop the reminders and start the celebration!

Is there a deadline?

We’re aiming to reach 100 reviews by the eBook launch, but you’re welcome to post whenever you’re ready. Earlier reviews help more—but later ones still matter.

What if I change my mind?

No pressure. If you join and later realize it’s not the right time or fit, that’s okay. Just reply to any email and let me know. This is an invitation, not an obligation.
