The Sheena Meyer Series


The Sheena Meyer series revolves around thirteen-year-old Sheena, who lives in Muskegon, Michigan, and is balancing the typical struggles of adolescence while uncovering her true identity as a gleamer. Gleamers have a special light within them giving them special gifts. . .from heaven.


Throughout the series, readers join Sheena on her mission to save other children from the dark force threatening the youth of the world. But Sheena isn’t facing this battle alone—she is aided by angels.


The stories are filled with friendships, trials, and self-discovery—all rooted in Christian beliefs. Some of the core themes include overcoming fear, the impact of choices, the significance of community, and the power of faith. For example, in Book 4, The Girl Who Became A Warrior, Sheena becomes who she was meant to be in order to fight for heaven.


Another standout element of the Sheena Meyer series is the strong family dynamic, where both Sheena’s friends and family play crucial roles in her life and throughout every adventure.


Filled with epic battle scenes, relatable characters, engaging plots, and profound moral lessons, the Sheena Meyer series provides readers with inspiring tales of faith, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil.

Christian Fiction for Teens


Why Christian fiction? Why not just call it fiction? Christian fiction is distinguished by its focus on faith-based themes and values, making it a significant alternative to the secular narratives often found in popular literature.


Many parents find comfort in their children reading stories that reflect their beliefs. These narratives can serve as gateways for discussions about moral choices and personal development.

The Anticipated Release of Book 8: Fate of the Gleam Keeper

Fate if the Gleam Keeper book cover


Anticipation is at an all-time high for Fate of the Gleam Keeper.


The aftermath of book 7 sets a calmer tone for Fate of the Gleam Keeper, but that doesn't mean it's not full of the humor and adventure that readers enjoy. It is recommended that Sheena Meyer series fans reread book 7, May Your Vision Be True, and then go right into book 8. As you read it, remember that Fate of the Gleam Keeper is more of an introductory story, setting the stage for what's to come.


Description:


Sheena Meyer once believed babies cried at night because they were afraid of the dark. Now she knows that’s not it at all. They cry because of the absence of light. Light brings life, hope, and adventure. Darkness offers nothing other than isolation and emptiness. We all want more light. 


But there are those who absorb the light. They never see darkness. It flees from them. They are the Gleam Keepers.


Sheena had never heard of a Gleam Keeper and is surprised to find that there is one among them. Now she is in a race to find out who it is and how to protect them from the Murk. Following the instruction of the mysterious Eleanor, Sheena and her friends search the city with a list of clues for the only thing that can protect the Gleam Keeper.


But… They are wrong.


Join Sheena Meyer and her friends in this thrilling adventure as they uncover secrets that challenge everything they thought they knew. With the fate of the Gleam Keeper hanging in the balance, Sheena must make choices that determine what she truly believes. 


 

Not only is Fate of the Gleam Keeper available in November 2024, but books 9 and 10 are also in the works, promising more thrills and revelations in the coming year.


As the series unfolds, it paves the way for a special edition release in December 2024: Gleamers Chronicle: Winter Shadows, offering readers a unique perspective into the Sheena Meyer universe.


Reader Engagement and Community


The Sheena Meyer series has cultivated a vibrant community of readers, both young and adult. L. B. Anne extends her heartfelt gratitude to all who have been part of this journey.
