about me

**Thank you to everyone who backed Nothing But The Blood on its way to the desk. I am completely humbled by the overwhelming, generous support from this community of writers. The experience has left me indebted to so many.

Just like everyone else on this website, I have a tale to tell. Nothing But The Blood is a beautiful but heart-breaking love story that offers a message of forgiveness in the aftermath of great evil. I hope you'll find God's grace and encouragement within its pages.

Nothing But The Blood

Dianna Lanser

Miah Betten, beautiful, talented, forgiven... and chosen by God to suffer the unspeakable, hand-picked to do the unimaginable.


Anger burrows beneath Miah's skin like an evil tick, and she can't seem to overcome it. At least not until the day her dad shares a secret that requires a choice -- a costly choice that defines her future and takes Miah and her family from their home in the Australian outback to the other side of the world.

Although her mum calls America the septic tank of humanity, Miah can't resist falling in love with an intriguing photograph of a cowboy and the Wild West where he lives. The picture becomes the inspiration for Miah's lofty musical and philanthropic dreams. They're hopeful dreams that are supported by a few close friends and a newcomer to her life, a bold, good-looking Native American man.

Just when life can't get any better, destiny stalks Miah with a tragic plan of its own, and why should she expect anything different? Since the day Miah chose to follow Jesus, she knew there would be a cost. She just didn't think it would be so high...

Nothing But the Blood is a love story like none you’ve ever read: chilling, poignant, and portraying the meaning, the joy, and the high cost of following Christ.

CLF 2 Review Chapter 4 Hi Bart, The first paragraph of this chapter pulled me in right away. For those who choose to follow Christ, isn’t that our hope and privilege -- to be used by a gracious God for his divine purposes? I love this! It made me eager to read on. I could easily catch... view book

CLF 2 Review Chapter 3 Hi Bart, Yes! That’s what I kept saying to myself as I read through chapter three. You have captured the beautiful love-work of Jesus’ death on the cross and the essence of Christianity: the self-will struggle, the initial laying down, the continual, daily surrender,... view book

CLF Review Chapter Two. Hi Bart, I am really impressed with your message. Once again, I believe this is a lesson Western Christians will do well to learn right now while they can.

Hi Bart, This is my first dip into your book and let me say, considering current world events, your writing couldn’t be more timely as it pertains to the broader church, the Bride of Christ. I found your first chapter to be written in a manner that echo’s the voice of C.S. Lewis in it’s prac... view book
