It's Christmastime in 1943. An old man is without his son, a young boy without
his father. Patrick Collins has just three things on his Christmas list. He wants the
Army to find his father. He wants to leave his grandfather's house. And he wants
the dusty wooden soldier in his grandfather's attic-- the one he is forbidden to
touch.


"Although this is a debut novel, we have a Christmas classic in the making. A story readers
will want to revisit year after year, much as they do with movies like It's a Wonderful
Life. So move this book to the top of your to-be-read list and grab a box of Kleenex on the
way."

No sooner is Shawn Collins home from the fighting in Europe than he's
called upon to serve his country as a war hero on a USO bond tour. Others
might jump at the chance to travel all around the country with attractive
Hollywood starlets. But not Shawn. He just wants to stay home with his
son Patrick, his aging father and to grieve the loss of his wife in private.
When Shawn asks Katherine Townsend, Patrick's former social worker, to
be Patrick's nanny while he's on the road, he has no idea how this decision
will impact his life. Could it be the key to his future happiness and the
mending of his heart? Or will the war once again threaten his chances for a
new start?

"Dan Walsh has outdone himself in his new book, The Homecoming...Dan's descriptions
of what Shawn, Patrick and Katherine went through in order to survive was riveting. I
felt their highs, their lows and the heartbreaking blows of war like I've never experienced
before...I can't wait to read another story by this author. His characters and story touched
my heart deeply."

For John and Laura Foster, what began as a fairytale honeymoon in 1857
aboard the steamship SS Vandervere soon becomes a nightmare. A terrible
hurricane strikes and the grand ship is lost in the murky depths of the Atlantic.
Laura is rescued by a small ship sailing by, but there's only room for the
women and children. Believing her John is lost but still daring to hope for a
miracle, Laura must face the possibility of life alone in New York City with a
family she has never met. The Deepest Waters is an epic story of hope, faith, and
love through an intimate lens. Inspired by a true story.
"Inspired by real life events from 1857, where God did bring about one miracle after
another, The Deepest Waters reminds the reader that even in hopeless situations, God
is still at work. Walsh's emotional work matches the compelling storytelling of bestselling
romance author Nicholas Sparks."

-- Christian Retailing Magazine, Heidi L. Ippolito, Reviewer

"I stayed up all night to finish The Deepest Waters, which is something I have not
done in years. It has everything: action, romance, tearful partings, desperate situations,
beautiful and terrifying natural settings, history, characters I hated and characters I
loved, and plenty of unexpected twists, all wrapped up in eloquent and straightforward
prose. It's a wonderful read, with a compelling message about the healing power of
faith."

Remembering Christmas -
Released Sept 2011 (ECPA Bestseller & Finalist for Inspiratioinal Book of the Year - RT Book Reviews)
Rick Denton is a young successful CPA who lives life on his terms. He works
hard, plays hard and answers to no one. So when his mother calls on
Thanksgiving weekend begging him to come home after his stepfather has a
stroke, Rick is more than a little reluctant. He's never liked Art and resents the
man's presence in his life. What was supposed to be just a couple days helping
out at the family bookstore turns into weeks of cashing out old ladies and
running off the homeless man who keeps hanging about.

But the little bookstore and its quirky patrons--as well as the lovely young
woman who works at his side each day--work their magic on him, revealing to
Rick some startling truths about his family, his own life, and the true meaning
of Christmas.
"I love a story with some unexpected twists--not to mention a quirky cast of characters
who surprise and delight me. I think that's the perfect recipe for a true Christmas
classic. Dan has penned such a tale and I heartily recommend it..."

Christmas Shoppe
"The completely unforeseen, stunning twist ending will have readers talking about this
author long after Christmas has passed! - 5 Stars!"
