New Release: Jezebel Redeemed

I'm so excited! My book releases this week!


Here's the back cover blurb:

Tandy was a woman who loved men.
A few too many men,
to her own detriment.

Tandy sees her past life as that of a Jezebel—full of wickedness, a life spent defying God, and denying Him control of her life for too many years.

Jezebel Redeemed is a memoir, a confession of those wrong deeds. Like most writers,
Tandy wants to be heard and understood through her earnestly made confession, one she prays will help many others who are
living life on their own terms.



The book is now available in paperback from Amazon, but you can also order it from your favorite bookstore. It's also available on Kindle.

Hello from Tandy Mackal

Today, I begin a new journey as Tandy Mackal, my pen name. Authors tell me a blog is a necessity for writers, but I don't want to just take up blogosphere space as a placeholder.

My new book will be releasing later this year. We're still toying with the book title, because what I propose is pushing the envelope a little. But so does my memoir. So we keep tinkering. As soon as we have a name and a cover, I'll share it with you here.

Who is Tandy Mackal?

Tandy is my pen name. I am a freelance writer and have been writing for many years, with credits in magazines and newspapers, and a few books, under my real name. This will be my first book using a pen name, which I chose to use to protect my family. And to be honest, to protect myself a little too, because my memoir is personal and transparent. Because I am a Christian, I know that my story will offend some Christians and perhaps make some nonbelievers jump for joy. I resisted sharing my story for this reason, but finally reached the point where I knew my story had to be told for one reason.

I am the woman at the well. I am a Jezebel. And God redeemed my life.

If my story can help one person know their life, their experiences, are not beyond redemption, then every step I took to get to this point today will be worth it.

If you are a Christian, I appreciate your prayers as I embark on this journey - for both me and for yourself - that my story will glorify God.

If you are not a Christian, I appreciate your patience as my story unfolds - I hope you'll stick around to see how it turns out. I'm not going to pound religion over your head - quite the opposite, I'm afraid. Maybe by the end of my story, you'll discover why my faith is so important.
