I've always loved the Old West and everything historical. When I had an idea involving a western man with a troubled past and an eastern woman unsure about her future, there was no stopping the flood of ideas that followed. The story insisted on being written.
The Shipyard Man by Ann Streetman
The late summer Sunday morning in 1905 appeared to be as boring as ever for Mary Johns Leonard until a stranger slid into the pew in front of her and her daughter Callie.
When the prayer ended, Mary stole a glance at the stranger before turning to the right page in the hymnal. She began to sing. The tenor voice of the stranger singing “Love Devine All Loves Excelling” was the most beautiful male voice she had ever heard. Could he be a professional singer passing through?
Mary’s eyes strayed to his broad shoulders more than once during the sermon. The collar on his shirt was clean, but frayed. Surely no traveling performer would have such a frayed collar. His straight black hair was clean but a bit too long at the nape of his neck. Working too hard to stop for a haircut?
The next day Mary looked up from the counter in her pappa’s general store to see the stranger. By the time he left, she knew he had grown up in Oregon where he worked at a sawmill and later helped build ships. A shipyard man. Clearly not like anyone she had ever known. A very interesting stranger.
Come along with Mary and Bill in their rocky journey of learning more about themselves and each other. This book does not easily fit into a neat category. Mary’s journey of self-discovery is Women’s Fiction. The love story of Mary and Bill is unmistakable Romance. It could be called Christian fiction since their faith is a significant part of their love story. Call it what you will and enjoy the journey of Mary and Bill.

This started out as a story that I wrote over twenty years ago. So, when I had the chance to publish it I went for it. I had to update the technology and other things that had changed over the twenty from when I first wrote it. I found it very interesting to see the vast difference twenty years made.
“My Name is Sam…and heaven is still shining through by Joe Siccardi was such an amazing story from beginning to end! I sat down and read it in one day — I just couldn’t put it down.”
Sit down with a cup of coffee or a nice glass of wine and visit with Samantha as she shares a lifetime of memories in this light Christian-themed fictional memoir.
“My Name Is Sam … and Heaven Is Still Shining Through” by prolific storyteller, Joe Siccardi is a follow-up to the best-selling novella, “Heaven Shining Through.”
It introduces Sam (Samantha), her family, and her unique friends in more detail than the original, and picks up where the novella left off. I hope readers get to know Sam as a friend, a life long friend as she shares her life … complete with some drama, some humor, some heart tugs.
Just a free-willed suburban Jersey girl trying to figure out this journey called life with the presence of God in ordinary life as the underlying theme…
