Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 7th Mar 2026 – Explora Books will showcase two distinctive titles by Patricia L. Blake—distinct in genre but united by their moral gravity—as part of its exhibition at the London Book Fair, taking place March 10–12, 2026, at Olympia London in Hammersmith. Mocha: Angel Warrior Book 1 – True Trust and Touched by the Hand of God: In the City of Angels SEND ME! sit far apart in form and audience, they headline a collection grounded in the same essential question: how trust, faith, and duty shape a life when circumstances are unforgiving.
Mocha: Angel Warrior Book 1 – True Trust tells its story through an unusual but steady voice—that of Mocha, an animal narrating their own early life. The book opens with birth and maternal protection, rendered in plain language that keeps close to physical detail: unsteady legs, patient nudges, a body placed instinctively between danger and child. This grounding makes the later separation from Mocha’s mother feel quiet but heavy, not dramatized, just stated and lived with.
When Mocha is introduced to ranch work—saddles, bits, and expectations they do not understand—the book resists turning the experience into conflict for its own sake. Mocha’s refusal to chase cows is not framed as rebellion but as discomfort with causing fear. The turning point arrives not through training or correction, but recognition. A girl named Pepper sees Mocha across a fence, waits, and allows the animal to choose. Their bond forms without negotiation. When a rancher dismisses Mocha as a failure, Pepper’s response is tactile and immediate: touch, presence, acceptance. The book’s language remains restrained, allowing the idea of “true trust” to emerge through action rather than explanation.
Patricia L. Blake’s Touched by the Hand of God: In the City of Angels SEND ME! moves in the opposite direction stylistically, yet lands in a similar emotional territory. This memoir draws from Blake’s thirty-three-year career with the Los Angeles Police Department, beginning with a defining spiritual experience following the death of her first husband. The event becomes the lens through which the rest of her life is understood—not sentimentally, but as a calling she believes was clearly set before her.
Blake’s account of police work avoids abstraction. She names places, injuries, decisions made in seconds, and the lasting weight of scenes that do not resolve cleanly. From gang-heavy patrols in Rampart to moments of solitary danger and leadership under scrutiny, the book documents both external threats and internal resistance within the department. Her voice is firm and personal, shaped by faith but anchored in lived detail.
A quiet thread connects the two books: Mocha appears again, this time as Mocha Latte, Blake’s mounted unit partner and “angel warrior horse.” The bond described in the first book becomes lived experience in the second, bridging story and memoir without forcing symbolism.
Together, these titles reflect Explora Books’ interest in narratives that treat faith, service, and connection as lived responsibilities rather than ideas. Visitors to the London Book Fair will find these works on display as examples of storytelling that stays close to experience, speaks plainly, and trusts the reader to draw meaning from what is shown rather than declared.
Mocha: Angel Warrior Book 1 – True Trust and Touched by the Hand of God: In the City of Angels SEND ME! are available on Amazon and other major retailers. Discover more about Blake and her work at warriorsandheroes.com.
