Afterwards is a collection of Michael's poetry and paintings by well-known artist Steve Hawley, the same two artists who created Waiting at the Station. This collaboration is inspired by the Gospel of Luke, the physician who traveled with Paul, but who had no first hand involvement with Jesus. There are nearly 40 scripture passages brought to life by Michael's poems and further illuminated by Steve's art. Author and reviewer Cheryl E. Rodriguez says, "Michael Kelly Blanchard invites his readers to 'be there' to open their spiritual eyes, hearts, and imaginations...his poetry flows like a river...The paintings by Steve Hawley are mesmerizing...telling thought-provoking stories all by themselves. This book is elegant and profound." Here's a teaser.

Unsung Heroes is a collection of musings from Michael Kelly .Blanchard's prose pen, ranging in topic from guilt to grace, shame to mercy, loneliness to reconciliation.  Seasoning the text are 25 previously unpublished song lyrics, story-poems mostly, telling of human stumblings and God-catchings.  It is  a book full of hope for the bruised and brokenhearted, and those flagging in their faith.  As Steve Brown says,  "The kind of book you will give to friends you care about."
