Madeleine's mind is filled with fear. Fear of not being a good enough wife to Peter, her beloved, gorgeous professional musician husband of less than one year. She is consumed with the fear of not being pretty enough for him and the fear of another woman taking her place, particularly by one of the supermodel-esque groupies who hang around the band. Can Maddy navigate life on tour with Peter’s successful band with humor, faith, and prayer while inside, she is shaking in her black-and-white creepers? Will her new marriage survive the temptation that blindsides her in the guise of a great opportunity? (Click photo for more information.)FISH OUT OF WATER (Book 3)

She has a handsome rock star and love-of-her-life husband, a beautiful vintage home in Southern California, and a clear career path—what more could a quirky, cool former Goth girl ask for? Will Maddy’s faith survive when tragedy reshapes her well-ordered world? (Click photo for more information.)
THE GARDEN KEY STUDY GUIDE
THE GARDEN KEY STUDY GUIDE is a companion Bible study guide to the novel and an excellent tool for individual or group study, particularly for those looking to remain faithful to God while in the dating world. (Click photo for more information.)
Roaming the earth for centuries,
seeking souls to torment and devour,
has lost its appeal for Nacham. He
wants it all to end. He longs to return
to his previous role as a servant in
unbroken devotion to his Creator. But
that life is gone forever.
A Tormentor’s Tale is like “The
Screwtape Letters” meets “This Present
Darkness.” This paranormal genre novel
pulls back the veil, revealing the
spiritual warfare raging all around us.
Dare to find comfort in this encouraging
read.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED THIS BOOK!!
“Angela Dolbear has a wonderful talent for
storytelling. I could not put this book down.
You are immediately drawn into the wonderful,
inspiring love story of a smart, spunky, and
funny young woman trying to live a better, pure
life for God, and we see how she struggles with
all the earthly things thrown into her path.
If I had a daughter, before she got to her dating
years, we would read this book together!
And don't forget to get the companion to this
book- Mind Over Madeleine!! Another great
read!” -K.B.
5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, suspenseful; I could
not put it down!
“What an enjoyable book! Angela gets you inside
Madeleine's mind and you get caught up in her
thoughts and feelings and challenges of
Madelaine's newly married life to a rock star.
Touching, funny, suspenseful! Once I started
reading it, I could not put it down. A great
follow up to The Garden Key.” – D.G.
5.0 out of 5 stars encouraged me to be a
better wife & mother
“Thank you for writing such an inspirational
novel. I was riveted & couldn't put it down! And
at the same time, encouraged to be a better
wife & mother. I have loved all The Garden Key
books!” – A.G.
5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely thought-provoking
read.
“Many mainline churches don't talk a lot about
spiritual warfare, but the world of spiritual beings
is real and recorded in the Bible. Angela Dolbear
presents an intriguing story that gives an
interesting perspective on what the battle
between good and evil might look like behind the
veil of the spiritual world. I appreciated her care
to keep A Tormentor's Tale within the bounds of
Scripture while presenting a gripping story of a
fallen angel's eternal regret and the power of
prayer. This is a book that will hold your attention
and leave you thinking about the characters--both
human and spiritual--and their choices for a long
time.” -V.H.
