About the author

Mitchell S Karnes was born in Kansas and spent his childhood in Illinois. He lives in Brentwood, TN with his wife, Natalie, and five of their seven children. He serves as the Senior Pastor of Walker Baptist Church in Franklin. Mitchell holds a Bachelor’s degree and three Master’s degrees.

He hopes to entertain, challenge, move and teach through each and every book, using his stories as catalysts for discussions on critical topics such as bullying, making the right choices, standing firm in the face of danger, and discovering your gifts and talents. The Pact was just the beginning…the first book in a four-part series called The Canaanshade Journeys. Now he continues the tale with The Dragon’s Pawn.

Reviews

[Sharon J]

The best book so far in the Abbey Rhodes series. The story was focused and took a few unexpected turns. I almost went off a path thinking a “good” cop was “bad” when something unexpected happened. Looking forward to the next one.
