The pen is not mighter than the sword, when the sword is the Word of God!

With that in mind, Corinne Elizabeth Cowherd began writing poetry and short stories at a very young age.  These are her books, including ones on spiritual warfare, adventure, and of course poetry. 

She was born in Brantford, Ontario, Canada and began writing at a young age and had her first books published in 2003 when she was in her twenties. They were poetry books entitled Touchstone Sword and Touchstone Sword II using the pen name Orchid Wren Cone.

Corinne soon went on to write such books as The Adventures of Flame Gurl series which is about a great new superhero living in Canadaville and Unchain which is about one girl's struggle to release her spiritual burdens.

Growing up in a Christian household, Miss Cowherd became a born again Christian when she was just eleven years old. Her faith in Jesus Christ is shown through out her works and she prays that not only will you be entertained by them, but you'll come to know Christ and be uplifted by them.

Her favourite scriptures are Amos 8:11 and Psalm 81:7.

All of Corinne's Books are now available at LuLu.com at great, new, lower prices!

Book Sneak Peek

Unchain

Here's just a snippet of what to expect in Unchain
______________

Fire enveloped the thick darkness, saturating the air with its heat. No doors. No windows. No walls. No escape. No hope existed within the inferno. Moans and cries of agony of the prisoners fell flat against the billowing walls of fire. It was a prison,a prison that permitted no one to return to their former life. Would they have wanted to if they could? Would they have wanted to return to their lives of crime, hatred, jealousy, betrayal, self-absorption, and addiction? A life away from God? Now they knew what hell was really like. Far beyond what anyone could have dreamed up. Now the prisoners were lost souls, dead to God. If only, if only.

Fallen angels taunted and mocked the prisoners with arrogance and condemnation. They poked and jabbed at them, torturing relentlessly. A painful memory here. A mournful moment there. No trace of mercy from the demons - they had none to give.

Through the blistering fires of hell could be seen a repugnant figure, grinning at all he saw. Lucifer himself was observing his domain with great pride. His yellow eyes glowed with excitement as he watched his minions torture the lost souls.

Sitting down on his stone-grey throne, he gleefully considered this. The demons did all the dirty work, and he, naturally, took all the credit. The devil made them do it after all. A perfect set up if you asked him. Why should he have to do all the work when he has to "supervise"? All he had to do was sit back and designate which one of his little helpers would go off and torture whom.

Satan placed his knotty elbows on the armrests of his throne. He tented fingers in front of him thoughtfully, revealing his long, gnarled fingers and black fingernails. He was very pleased with how smoothly his kingdom was running. He allowed a smile.

Without his thoughts being interrupted, Satan noticed a loud agonizing shriek off in the distance. The devil didn't flinch. The lost souls of hell looked upward in dismay. They knew that shriek all to well. So did Satan. They had heard it many times before.

The shriek became louder and then abruptly stopped. There before Satan stood a young man's soul. He looked no older than 23 or so and he was clearly terrified of what was unfolding. He couldn't speak. He was trembling with fear. He knew where he was and knew he couldn't escape.

*****
Touchstone Sword II
This second in the series of poetry books contains the inspiration and thoughtfulness that the first Touchstone Sword had.

A Father's Love speaks of a wounded soul in need of a desperate healing, and Jaded tells of a hardened, callused heart needing change. Humour is still evident in this book with one poem giving a twist on Newton's law of gravity. So enjoy the inspiration and joy of Christ throughout this book!
