The first book in The Lightbearer’s Trilogy

Fresh Baked Lies

A Southern tale of secrets, grace, and the light that overcomes darkness.

In Grimly, Mississippi, sweetness covers secrets like sugar on a pie. But beneath the Southern charm, something sinister has taken root—a curse born from one woman’s need for power.

Seventeen-year-old Rosalie Picotee dreams of leaving the town where being different is akin to sin. But Grimly isn’t done with her yet.

When she falls for William Dearie, the son of the woman behind the curse—lies, loss, and betrayal follow. For Ornella Dearie will stop at nothing to keep them apart and to bury the truth that could unravel everything she’s built.

As Rosalie discovers the darkness that rules Grimly, she’s forced to choose: let bitterness take root like it did in Ornella—or forgive, even when forgiveness feels impossible. Because sometimes, the only way to break a curse is to love the one who cast it.

Set in the Deep South of the 1960s, Gloria Fennimore’s Fresh Baked Lies serves up a delicious blend of Southern Gothic and Christian Magical Realism in this inspiring tale of the power of forgiveness.

Stories of Courageous Leadership

“I’m Honored to Be Included”

I’m thrilled to share that I’m a contributing author in She Writes for Him: Stories of Courageous Leadership—a powerful new collection from Redemption Press!

Each chapter tells a story of women who have led through difficulty, doubt, and determination—and found God faithful in every season. My story, “Give Me Jesus, But Don’t Take My Planner,” explores how God met me with courage when I least expected it.

Coming January 2026 May these stories remind you: your leadership matters, your voice is needed, and your obedience is worship.-
