Guarding Aaron: My New Release in the Faith & Kung Fu Series

Guarding Aaron

by T. M. Gaouette

The world continues to press in on Gabriel Livingstone’s quiet life when fifteen-year-old Aaron Buckley enters Yeung’s Martial Arts Studio looking to learn kung-fu. Gabriel knows there’s a desperate secret behind the boy’s bruises, and secretly vows to be his guard, with the help of his friend Christian. But when Tanner Rose pressures him for strength and direction, and Faith’s continued rebellion send him and his friends to the hospital, jeopardizing Tanner’s career, Gabriel is forced to reexamine his decisions. Is he called to the priesthood or is life behind the monastery walls merely an escape?

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
(Ephesians 6:10-11 RSVCE)

Introducing, “Saving Faith: Faith and Kung Fu – Book 2”

saving-faith-cover

I begin this  post with an apology. I’ve been out of commission for a while now, not just regarding this website, but also on my author Facebook page. The last few months have been crazy with Christmas festivities, homeschooling responsibilities, being a parent, wife, farmer….you know the drill. And on top of that, I’ve been working hard to complete my second book in my kung fu series, Saving Faith. So, I had to choose to either write about the progress of the book or just write the book itself. I decided on the latter.

My initial plan was to complete this novel by the end of 2016. But God laughed at that plan. I’d left the completion too late in the season and too close to the holidays and I just ran out of time!!!!  But I’ve been praying hard since, and pulling some crazy late night writing sessions in order to get this done before planting season begins. And it’s almost done. I have a cover ready for you to see and a book description and I plan to launch next month (which begins in two days). Of course, God could laugh at me again, but here’s praying He shows me some mercy!

Saving Faith book description

With Tanner Rose gone, Gabriel is left to settle back into the God-devoted life he’d become so accustomed to. Except that his best friend’s sister, Faith, has decided that a life for the Lord is just way too confining. In an attempt to live a little, Faith focuses her interests on a handsome, but worldly, boy from her school, who has major self-control issues in and out of the kung fu arena. When things get too deep for Faith, she looks to Gabriel for help. Can Gabriel save Faith from self-created destruction or is he just too lost in his own worldly struggles to lend a hand? 

So, let me know what you think about the book description and cover design.

Thanks for visiting.

Blessing, T.M. Gaouette

Book Reviews and More on “Freeing Tanner Rose”: “One of the Best Catholic Fiction Stories for Young Adults I Have Ever Read”

Freeing Tanner Rose is featured on Book Reviews and More. If you’ve read the book or like my work, please leave a comment and share it with others.

This is the second novel I have read by T.M. Gaouette and I have enjoyed both immensely. However the pace and intensity in this story was gripping. I barely put the book down and read it in two extended settings. When I finished this novel, I was really wishing for more. It was only when I went to do some research for the review that I discovered it is the first in a series called Faith & Kung Fu.
.
This story was a very intense read. From the moment Gabriel met Tanner Rose he was apprehensive and reserved. Gabriel and his mother live in the country, he studies martial arts and is a young man of faith. Tanner Rose is a very young Hollywood starlet who dresses and acts beyond her years. At every Turn Gabriel’s patience and fortitude seems to be tested by this girl his mother has brought home. Gabriel and Tanner’s mother were roommate in university and even though they have chosen very different path’s Miss Ruth took Tanner in to try and help. Both Ruth and Gabriel have strong faith and personal practice. Tanner thinks they are just country hicks, and feels like she is being abandoned, punished, and neglected by her mother for pulling her from her party scene lifestyle. Will Gabriel’s steadfast faith and strength help ground Tanner or will her wild addictive and self-centered traits rub off on him.
.
The characters are wonderfully written. The solid honest ethical life of Gabriel and his mother in contrast to Tanner and her Hollywood shenanigans is a stunning look at faith in the midst of modern life and culture. Read more of this review and others at Book Reviews and More
