For Amy,
fellow storm chaser and weather watcher,
thanks for being my sis and my supporter.

A massive storm
that splits in two...
a splitting storm.
One part dies out.
The other grows stronger.

Special Agent Mick Kline courts danger. When he isn't chasing criminals, he's chasing storms. Then his brother is brutally murdered, and Mick is convinced that Aaron died at the hands of a serial killer. Ignoring the counsel of friends, fellow agents, and police, he launches his own quest for the truth.

Years before and miles away, Faith Kemper survived an attack that claimed her husband's life - but it stole her sight and shattered her faith. Now she's hiding, hoping to disappear in a tiny Texas town. Then a knock on the door from an FBI agent investigating his brother's murder begins to unravel her safety net.

Faith's fear and Mick's thirst for revenge pit them against a faceless killer whose soul harbors a storm of its own.

"Rene Gutteridge is a fine writer who skillfully tells this story driven by interesting characters and an inriguing plot. The Splitting Storm is a page-turner - it really held my interest.
RANDY ALCORN,
best-selling author of Safely Home

I highly recommend The Splitting Storm. In it I found suspense, mystery, touches of humor, and a spiritual beam shining through that held it all together. Another Gutteridge winner!"
JAMES SCOTT BELL,
Christy-Award winning author of Breach of Promise

Notes:

From the Bethany House website:

Rene Gutteridge has been a writer and a Christian since she was a child. Even before she could write, she would draw pictures that would tell stories. When her parents bought Rene her first computer, she began writing novels and soon became interested in screenwriting. While in college at Oklahoma City University she earned her degree in Mass Communications and specialized in screenwriting. After graduating, she intended to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a writer in the film industry.

Immediately after college, though, God called Rene into the ministry, where she served as the Director of Drama for five years at First United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City. There she wrote, directed, cast, produced, and occasionally acted in two pre-sermon sketches a week. Over thirty of her scripts are published, and she has written over 450 of these as well as three full-length plays.

While in the ministry, she met her husband, Sean, who is a praise and worship leader. After marrying in 1996, they formed their own theater company, a traveling drama troupe called The Christian Theater Company that is still ministering today. When it was created, she served as an actor, director, and playwright, but today is serving only as playwright.. Her husband, a theater major, has taken over the directing side of the company and continues to be a lead actor. In May of 1999, their first child, John-Caleb, was born, and in January 2000 Rene left her full-time position with the church in order to stay at home with her son.

Her first novel, Ghost Writer, established her as a writer to watch and her latest effort, Troubled Waters will impress fans and new readers alike. In it, Macey Steigel, a successful TV news anchor, intends for her fast-paced life to slow only a little in the aftermath of her estranged father’s death. But on returning home, she finds her mother in desperate need of help and finds herself unable to turn her back. All the reasons for leaving home soon reappear, and she finds herself caught in a struggle she thought she’d buried. Will she find the strength to restore the shattered relationships of the past and renew a faith too-long ignored?

She currently lives in Oklahoma City with her husband, son, and daughter.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
