Maressa Mortimer is Dutch but lives in the beautiful Cotswolds, England with her husband and four (adopted) children. Maressa is a homeschool mum as well as a pastor’s wife, so her writing has to be done in the evening when peace and quiet descend on the house once more. She loves writing Christian fiction, as it’s a great way to explore faith in daily life.
Her debut novel, Sapphire Beach, was published in December 2019, and her first self published novel, Walled City, came out in December 2020, followed by Viking Ferry, a novella. Beyond the Hills is the second book in the Elabi Chronicles, and was released on June 18th 2021. All Maressa’s books are available from her website, www.vicarioushome.com, Amazon or local bookshops.

Interesting and gripping

I enjoyed this book, as it's so varied, covering a time and issues I know nothing of, so it wasn't just a good read, but interesting as well. I felt for poor Thomas, having to grow up rather suddenly and would love to know wh

Loved this book as we were at the Devil's Porridge museum in the summer, so this was a Must Read! I'm surprised they didn't sell copies as it brings the site to life. I couldn't stop reading as I just needed to find out what

Gripping if a bit slow

Set in the immediate aftermath of the second WW, this book was gripping. It moves rather slowly and feels repetitive but I just had to know what happened to the main characters! Still hoping for justice, but looking forward to

Dorothy L. Sayers
“For we let our young men and women go out unarmed, in a day when armour was never so necessary. By teaching them all to read, we have left them at the mercy of the printed word. By the invention of the film and the radio, we have made certain that no aversion to reading shall secure them from the incessant battery of words, words, words. They do not know what the words mean; they do not know how to ward them off or blunt their edge or fling them back; they are a prey to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intellects.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning
