Bio:

 


I am married with two adult sons.  I enjoy reading and writing fiction.  My stories will always have an underlying Christian theme, however I try to keep it real because even Christians do not live a perfect life, no matter what they try to portray to others! You can find me on Twitter as Preachabrenda!

Chambermates! 


Thanks for all of your support here over the years.  I've reached my dream of being a published author and I could not have done it without your encouragment. 


I will continue to support authors here any way that I can and I want to see other awesome authors here publish their work for the world to read long after we're gone.


Even though I'm not making a lot of money off of "The Preacher's Son" I am committed to my promise of using 20 percent of my profits from the book to help other Chamber authors.


I can be reached at Preacharomantic@gmail.com.  Please feel free to contact me here or on Facebook as BD Anderson, Richmond, VA.


Thanks guys!

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Jealousy

Wow!  Tyler has a ton of problems.  He will never get better until he deals with his negattive feelings towards his mother.  Forgiveness is not for HER it's for HIM so that HE can heal.  He doesn't get it and that's sad.  I think that Jemima is trouble!



Author's Response:

Yep. Agreed. He needs to deal with his abandonment issues by talking things through with his mother. Until he does that, there is no room for recovery here. Shame that he knows this himself but doesn't see it because he doesn't feel that he is the patient.

Jemima is going to be so much trouble and you'll hate her. Heck, I hate her already. You won't see her for a while, but the woman is always plotting underground.

Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 10: Wasted and Ready

I feel so sorry for Lucas and wish that he could find someone.  Alex is still in love with another man and I don't see any good coming Lucas' way.



Author's Response:

I guess we all have to just wait and see. I think that at the moment it would not be wise for Lucas to pursue a relationship with someone else. I know it seems highly unlikely that Alex would ever give him the time of the day, but everything is possible. :D

Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 12: What are you doing the rest of your life?

I don't know about this engagement.  Is Tyler really ready?  Can he really trust? As long as he believes that he doesn't need help and that he can do it on his own, I see failure ahead.  He needs to ask himself that if he could really get it right on his own, would have have failed miserably so many times before?  Did he deliberately get into the position he is in now?  Did he hurt Lexi on purpose?  Of course not, and knowing those facts should help him to see that yes, he does need help.  I hope he takes his father's advice.



Author's Response:

Yeah. I'm just glad that it's not an engagement with the ring and everything. I don't think he is ready, and he won't be until Alex opens her eyes and realise what she really wants (whether that is Lucas or Tyler is still open to discussion), and until he gets serious about getting help.

Title: Chapter 4: No Love Allowed

Of the to of your head?  This is talent!  I love this story.  I know school can be demanding, but this was well worth the wait and it only made me want more!  Please update when you can.  I'll be waiting!

Title: Chapter 12: Lost In Paradise

Great chapter.  I do think Daniel's family timing is way off.  He was homeless and no one was looking for him and now that he's famous, they want their son/brother back? 

I think he should proceed cautiously though he should forgive them.  There is no use holding hate and grudges.  If they really are sorry for their past behavior, then they should do all they can to make it up to him, especially his father.

Title: Chapter 1: What Now

Loved the update.  I was a little ticked that they got interupted though.  LOL  I am glad the Terri will spill her guts.  She wants that man and he wants her, so what's wrong with that?  I'm loving this story.

Title: Chapter 8: Phresh Out the Runway

This was a great chapter.  So sad about her parents and she's an only child.  I hope her parents are still alive because I know someone who went back only to find their mother dead and buried and the family couldn't find them to notify them.  That is so sad.

I love that she's finally admitted to wanting Daniel and I can't wait until things go to another level!. As for 17 years, all I can say is 'wow'.  Daniel has a lot of 'dusting for cobwebs' to do.  LOL

 Reviewer: Brenda1257 Signed

Title: Chapter 1: What Now

This story is so good!  It can't be drawing to conclusion yet!  Why you may ask?  First, we NEED for the romance to blossum and for her to let Daniel in behind that wall she's built up and she needs to reap the benefits for finding him and not ALONZO! 

Second, I really really want Daniel's family to see him succeed as a top model and that he did it without them.  I want them to realize that he's his own man now with his own life and let them be the ones to say, "That's my son"  when they look at a TV commercial or a magazine with a doze of humble pie.

Third, the've both been out of commission for a while so I know that they will surely rock each other's world when the romance goes to another level.

And finally, this story is just so good that it can't end yet, OK?

 



Author's Response:

haha you're amazing :DDD

i MIGHT make it over 10 chapters, but it's a little hard for me to write long chapters so they'll have to be smaller than normal

but you're right. i have a lot to cover lol i'm excited!

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Broken

Poor Declan.  I wish he'd find someone and get over Mallory or at least move on.  Imogene is nothing but trouble.



Author's Response:

Declan is having a hard time letting go and getting twisted up with Imogene won't help matters in the least bit. I still have  all hopes that he'll see the light :)

Wow this was so good.  I wonder though how this will affect Rory?   This is a triangle in the making of sorts.  I can't wait to see where this goes. Once Mallory and Declan have done the deed and then Declan has to help Rory, all three of their feelings will be intertwined and then what? Great update!

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Pull Me Down

IN all this I feel sorry for Declan.  He needs to move on and pick up his heart.  I don't think he'll ever see her as a friend really because he wants more than she is willing to give.  He needs a vacation somewhere to lick his wounds and get himself together.

Jayden made the biggest mistake of his life when he let the love of his life slip through his fingers.  Could he make it right and start anew?  Tamaeya had been burned by Jayden once and had no intentions of being burnt a second time, but it seemed that the heart had it's own mind.

Consider Dana reined in.  LOL  Nancy does need to apologize to her son.  

Seeing Dana accept Nancy so quickly is what sent Tam overboard.
