PRINT<\/strong> version of the sequel The Blood<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>is now available!<\/em><\/p>\n

Since the release of my daughter Denise’s first novel The Tree<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>some seven years ago \u2014 a book that garnered rave reviews and the efforts by some to have it made into a movie \u2014 we have awaited the sequel. And it’s finally here. The Blood<\/i><\/a> continues the story in a mythical realm with Denise’s incredible word-smithing to shape realistic characters, craft incredible imagery, and make the story linger long after you’ve put the book down.\u00a0So many themes in The Blood<\/em><\/a> speak profoundly to our times. I couldn’t be more proud as her father… and delighted as a reader. But don’t take my word for it: read the reviews below!<\/p>\n

Today, we are officially releasing the print version of her new novel after waiting weeks for a paper shortage to be resolved. The Blood<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is also available on Kindle (we still have print copies of The Tree,<\/em> which is also on Kindle. See below). To download a digital copy now, just click on the images below… and enter the beautiful and inspiring world of this young and gifted Catholic writer. To order the print version, visit my store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The Blood” – Reviews<\/h2>\n
Following in the footsteps of writers <\/strong><\/span>
\nlike Michael O’Brien and Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\nDenise Mallett represents a new generation of gifted Catholic storytellers. <\/strong><\/span>
\nIn\u00a0The Blood,<\/i> Mallett once again demonstrates her unique ability <\/strong><\/span>
\nto unsettle her readers, charm them, and fill them with hope.<\/strong> <\/span>

I was held captive, constantly wanting to sneak away time to read it, staying up until the wee hours to finish it. This story finds its way deep into the reader’s heart. It is woven with characters who truly come to life, with the splendor of beauty amidst dark shadows, and will lead you to ponder the meaning of suffering, the depth of mercy, and ultimately to cling to the promise of healing.<\/strong> \u2014Carmen Marcoux, author of Arms of Love<\/em> and Surrender<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
An intricate tale exploring human nature in its greatest and darkest moments. As the journey unfolds through political and spiritual battlefields, readers will come to understand integrity in the face of deception and hope in redemptive suffering.<\/strong> <\/span>

“The Tree” – Reviews<\/h2>\n

Mallett has penned a truly epic human and theological tale
\nof adventure, love, intrigue, and the search
\nfor ultimate truth and meaning.
\nIf this book is ever made into a movie\u2014and it should be\u2014
\nthe world need only surrender to the truth of the everlasting message.\u00a0
\n<\/strong><\/span>\u2014Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC,\u00a0author & speaker<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the first word to the last I was captivated, suspended between awe and amazement. How did one so young write such intricate plot lines, such complex characters, such compelling dialogue? How had a mere teenager mastered the craft of writing, not just with proficiency, but with depth of feeling? How could she treat profound themes so deftly without the least bit of\"\"<\/a>\u00a0preachiness? I am still in awe. Clearly the hand of God is in this gift.\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014Janet Klasson, author of\u00a0The Joy of Penance<\/a>\u00a0blog<\/span><\/p>\n

Exquisitely written\u2026 From the very first pages of the prologue, I could not put it down!<\/b>\u2014Janelle Reinhart, Christian recording artist<\/span><\/p>\n

From the moment I picked up\u00a0The Tree, I could not put it down\u2026 What most impressed me, however, was the depth of knowledge and understanding of the human person that Mallett shows in her characters. A great story and treasure.<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014Jennifer M.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is my daughter\u2019s first novel. I was expecting to read it, pat her on the head and say, \u201cGood job, dear.\u201d Instead, I found myself in utter awe that this came out of her mind, her prayer-life. It is one of the most moving novels I have read in a long time and the characters and story have never left me. Finally, Christian fare that isn\u2019t cheesy. I can honestly say I can\u2019t wait for the sequel.<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014Mark Mallett, author of\u00a0TheNowWord.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The\u00a0Final\u00a0Confrontation<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
