What Reviewers are Saying About The Mosaic Collection Anthologies:
Each is a picture of God’s grace working in the hearts of hurting people through individual writing styles.
Each author has her own voice, yet somehow they all fit perfectly together.
The stories are just the right length to relax with at the end of a long day.
I love these Mosaic author anthologies. These are stories about real people with real problems and emotions.
Such beautifully written, inspirational short stories with themes of grace, forgiveness, love, and peace.
Uplifting stories of ordinary people dealing with their faith and life’s struggles.
Thank you to all the Mosaic Collection authors for giving us more lovely stories to remind us that we will never be alone as God is always with us.
Each of these faith-based fiction stories in Sounds Like a Plan is uniquely and beautifully written with believable characters sustained by the amazing grace of God. Memorable, touching, inspiring, and a true reading pleasure. May you be blessed by this collection.

excerpt from not by chance
Engrossed in her search of the Classics bookshelves, Lily did not see the crash. But the deafening bang of metal slamming on brick made her jump, her whole body flinching. Glass sprayed the room when the front window to her right shattered. Screams from the bookstore clerk and others outside on the street pierced the air. Pinpricks peppered her right arm and leg. She brought her hand to her cheek, gasping when it came away bloody.
The shock rooted her to the floor. She gaped at the broken store window below which the crumpled front end of a car intruded through the cracked wall. Behind the spiderwebbed windshield of the vehicle, a woman’s head slumped onto the steering wheel.
In a moment, a warm presence enveloped Lily from behind. “Are you alright?” A deep, reassuring voice urged in her ear, “Let’s get you to the back, out of harm’s way,”
Mute, Lily pointed to the injured driver, then cast a panicked look at the man behind her.
He rushed to the shop door, yanking futilely on the handle, then scanned the smashed window, calling to the victim, who stirred slightly. He turned back to Lily. “The whole wall has shifted from the impact. But she’s alive. We can only pray the ambulance arrives quickly.” He pulled a phone from his pocket and punched in the number. A deep crease between his dark eyebrows only relaxed once the message had been relayed.
