I'd like to introduce you to Julia Keegan and Joel Maartens. Julia is a journalist whose work in Darfur is shadowed by her own personal turmoil. Joel is a young lawyer who has enough to deal with much less the personal errands of a death-row clienterrands that require traveling to a war-torn African desert.
These are the characters of my new novel, DESERT FIRE. As they steel themselves against the horrors of genocide, both must face and forgive people in their past in order to fight for justice today. It's my hope that their story will open your mind and heart to the conflict in Darfur and inspire you to help.
