About The Chef (The Lincolns 7)/Update on Daily Bible Reading
Hello, lovelies!
So, last week I posted the book cover for the next Lincoln book, The Chef, on all my social media platforms. It’s fabulous, isn’t it? Now, I want to give you some information about the book. Unfortunately, I don’t have a release date yet because I’ve just sent it to my editor and she is really busy at the moment so she won’t be able to get it edited as fast as she usually does, so I’ll just have to wait and see.
About Locke Lincoln
He’s the brother who got saved along with Ash in The Model. He’s the third to last of the 12 brothers (after him are Solomon and then Junior). He moved out of the Lincoln mansion with Ash when they both got saved, but then moved back in when Rebel and Taye became Christians, because the whole plan was to try and influence the non-Christian brothers rather than deserting them. You saw plenty of him in The Physician, locking horns with Jared and being a kind of spiritual mentor to Rebel and Taye.
He was fun to write about because being one of the youngest brothers he’s pretty naive and trusting. He was extremely close to Junior and is dealing with pretty bad depression over Junior’s death. His depression causes him to make some reckless decisions in this book.
About Lilah Luckett
She’s a thief, a practitioner from early childhood and a coven slave. And she wants to escape. She will do anything to get her freedom, even manipulate Locke. Her full name is Delilah–go figure 🙂
You guys will have to tell me which heroine is your favourite so far so that I know which type of heroine is resonating with you. Here’s a list of all the heroine’s so far. I really want your opinion:
- Ivy (Saul – and Jared, kind of) – The Lincoln Manifesto
- Calcy (Jared) – The Lincoln Manifesto
- Keltie (Ash) – The Model
- Hazel (Junior) – The Runaway
- Andie (Nigel) – The Record Boss
- Kara (Taye) – The Designer
- Daisy (Rebel) – The Physician
Anyway, here’s the back cover blurb for The Chef. It could very well change since it hasn’t been edited yet and I’m awaiting feedback on it.
From the Back Cover
Lilah Luckett was promised a protector.
As a coven slave, Lilah is desperate for freedom. The only way that can happen is if a practitioner more powerful than her master takes her under his wing.
Enter, the enchanting Locke Lincoln.
His surfer dude good looks are enough to make any girl crave shelter in his arms, but he’s more than just a pretty face; he also has the power to be Lilah’s protector. But how does Lilah get his attention?
Locke Lincoln is looking for distraction.
Locke’s younger brother was the closest friend he ever had. Now that he’s dead, Locke’s life is in turmoil. When Lilah shows up, offering fun in Vegas and an escape from reality, Locke is game.
Neither of them have any idea what is about to happen.
Locke seems perfect, but he’s far from it. He is fighting dark forces that want him to continue his father’s evil agenda. It seems becoming a Christian means nothing when blood covenants have been made and oaths taken.
Then Lilah’s past catches up with her and all her careful plans begin to crumble.
Will Locke be able to escape the clutches of his father’s legacy?
And once he works out that Lilah is just using him, will he fight for her or let her die?
***
The Chef spans the time from the end of The Model to a few months after The Physician, so I had to think really hard about how to show that time has passed. At the beginning of the book Junior has just ‘died’ and none of the brothers are Christians and by the end everyone who became Christians in subsequent books are Christian. I hope I’m making sense, ha ha.

For those of you who have been looking out for my daily Bible reading videos, I owe you a huge apology. In the below video I explain what’s going on:

God bless 🙂 🙂
P.S. Don’t forget to let me know which of the Lincoln series heroines you like best xx
I loved all the characters and can’t wait to read The Chef !!
Thanks Sharon.
I’m going to go with Ivy and Calcy. I like that I’ve was able to (for now) walk away and not be drawn in. Calcy, although we haven’t learned much about her, seems as though she will be the one to help conquer the heart of the most despicable of the brothers (Juda aside, of course). I think that she and Jared just might find Christ together… I can’t wait to find out for sure.
On a side note… What about Zeke? Are we going to learn more about him? Does he get his own book?
Ivy… Not I’ve… Sorry! Autocorrect…
In my mind I class Zeke more as a Crystal series character even though he is a Lincoln brother. He already knows Jesus and he got his girl in the Crystal series, but I am planning to give him more airtime when I write season 2 of the Crystal series.
I’m glad you like Calcy. I can’t wait to revisit her and Jared. Their book will be the series finale 🙂
Ivy, Keltie, Andie and Daisy so far but I I think Saul, Jared and Salem’s book will be my favourite (especially Jared’s) when it comes out.
Thanks, Shalom. I am especially looking forward to writing Salem’s and Jared’s books 🙂
Blessings Dayo,
Just wondering if you have any updates on the release of the chef. I can’t wait anymore please. lol
Shalom
It’ll be out very soon. Just doing the final read through 🙂
I loved Ivy, Calcy, and Keltie. I think Ivy is my favorite, maybe because she was the first heroine of the two series after Crystal, but I loved that they stayed true to who they were no matter what. I really hope she and Saul can reconnect eventually.
Thanks Jalisa. I’m thinking Saul’s book will be next after ‘The Chef’ so it won’t be too long before you find out what happens with Saul and Ivy 🙂
I like Andi and Dasy. Looking forward to this and other books from you. Are you beginning any new series soon or books along side the continuation of the Lincoln series?
Yes, I’ll be releasing a serial soon. Totally new world and new characters. I’ve always wanted to write a serial so I hope it’ll be received well.
I like Andie but love them all. Like this bad girl take, for the book. The back cover is such a teaser 😳
You think so? I struggle with writing back cover stuff so I’m glad.
Thanks for letting me know about your favourite heroine xx
That was a hard choice! Tough to remember them. Ha!
I think my favorite was Andie ❤️✨
🙂 Thanks
All were very interesting. But I think Andie was the one who almost going turn a Lincoln.
So Andie is your favourite?
Ash and Keltie
Thanks for your feedback 🙂
Keltie and Hazel were the bomb.com
Thanks Sed 🙂
You’re welcome.
By the way, I have a genius idea. So pretty much 80% of all of the books I’ve read in my life were romance books. Lately, I’ve been searching for fiction books that involve protagonists who are focused on living life solo, or at least being happy without having to be in a relationship. I have found a few books so far, but I think it would AWESOME if you wrote a book with one of the lincoln brothers, (or any fiction character for that matter), who are not too interested in the thought of relationships or getting married, but prefer to live a single christian life. However, Dayo, if you don’t find yourself all too interested in my idea, I am perfectly fine with that. You can write whatever it is you choose to or are inspired to. You are an amazingly talented author that always leads me to falling deeper in love with Christ. God bless!
Hi Sed, that’s an awesome idea and I do have quite a number of books on my ‘to write’ list that aren’t romances, and that feature ‘single and not looking’ protagonists. However, I have no idea when I’ll get around to writing them. My ‘to write’ list is over a hundred books long :-S It’ll happen someday.
Thanks for all your kinds words.
God bless.
Of course 🙂
Oh, wow. That’s a lot of work. I definetly can’t wait to read them when you get the chance to write them. Just keep at it, you can do it! (just don’t overwork yourself).
Thanks Sed 🙂
God bless.
