Happy New Year!
As I look back at 2015 and
forward to 2016, I realize how much I have to be thankful for. In my writing
life, 2015 brought the publication of my first book and a publishing contract on
my second book. That book should be released soon. Hopefully, I will be making
a cover reveal and book announcement in the near future.
I also made many new writing
friends within my publishing group, among a blog to which I have been asked to
contribute Writing Prompts and Ideas ... Oh My!, in my new association with ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers)
and at conferences I have attended. And of course I continue to treasure the other
writer friends I have met in the past few years.
I am excited about 2016. There is
much happening in my writing life. I continue to freelance devotions and
articles and have many already contracted for publication this year—five articles
will appear in SEEK Magazine (Standard Publishing), one that will appear in Now What, two devotions, so far, in
The Secret Place (Judson Press), one in The Upper Room, and ten days of
devotions slated to appear in Open Windows (Lifeway). My 2nd book, “Prayer:
It’s Not About You” should be released soon, and I am in the editing stages of
my 3rd book (my first fiction). I will tell you more about that book
later, probably in a few months. Suffice it to say that I have fallen in love
with fiction writing.
I also have some speaking
engagements coming up in 2016. I will be speaking at Sweetwater Baptist Church’s women’s retreat in January on the topic of prayer. And will be
speaking at the Mid-South Christian Writers Conference in March about
devotional writing.
2016 … WELCOME!
