About Eloise Schroder, Webmaster of The Christian Fiction Site:
Ellie has loved Christian fiction for many years, after being introduced to it back in 1990. She developed "The Christian
Fiction Site" back in 1998 under the former title "Ellie's World of Christian Fiction" after seeing the need for an online
resource site for readers to become more familiar with Christian fiction titles on the market. Since then, she has maintained
the site in her own spare time, as well as juggling a full-time job with GPH Wholesale, a distributor of Christian literature, and being
part of the worship team in her local church. Ellie lives in Palmerston North, New Zealand, with Dion, her husband of
more than 10 years.
Red And Lowering Sky (2004)
Zondervan
Stockton Livingstone is one of President Grover Cleveland’s most trusted advisors and a mainstay of the State Department until his wife dies tragically and he takes a leave of absence to be with his family.
But as tensions escalate between the three great powers—England, Germany, and America—over a coaling station on the tiny island of Samoa, the President asks Stockton to return to his duties and accept the post of Ambassador to Samoa. He reluctantly agrees, on the condition that he may take his six children with him.
When the Livingstones arrive in Samoa, they find that German forces have effectively set up a puppet regime, using a disgruntled Samoan chief as the figurehead ruler. As tensions between the mighty warships gathered in Apia Bay continue to heighten, Stockton must face the fact that his nation is on the brink of war. But all of the players in this drama suddenly must do battle against a foe mightier than any warship: the great Samoan hurricane of 1889. Will this war prove to be their last?
The Balcony (1997)

Johnnie James is a successful accountant with a prestigious Atlanta firm when her newest client brings Johnnie to Táino Castle, an island fortress once the stronghold of an infamous pirate and now a luxury hotel. The owner, Esteban Ventura, proves to be an elusive package of contrasts, managing to leave Johnnie feeling both frustrated and flattered.

But the tower is rumored to be haunted, and Johnnie is quickly introduced to the eerie voices filtering through the castle's labyrinth of darkened tunnels. When pirates begin prowling the placid waters of the Caribbean, Johnnie wonders if the castle's history has forever tainted the surrounding beauty.
The truth behind the man and the castle is shrouded in ancient secrets and timeless greed but in discovering it, will Johnnie lose what she holds most dear?
