Writing & Book News!

I’ve had a busy summer so I nearly missed posting anything on July. But being busy with so many other activities does not mean I haven’t been writing and I do have a few things to share on that front. 

1) Chicken Soup for the Soul seems to love one of the stories I sold to them. They have featured it three times now! They featured it when they bought first rights to it in a book they published about dogs. Then they featured a reprint of it in June of this year in a book of funny stories and now they are featuring it on their podcast. I have the story featured in one of my own books too—Confessions of a Prayer Warrior

2) I spent much of June completing a devotional assignment from “The Quiet Place” (David C. Cook Publisher) and just got my author copies of the upcoming issue that also has seven devos of mine on it. I’m a regular contributor with them. 

3) I taught a workshop on memoir writing in June at The Kentucky Christian Writers’ Conference. 

4) Jumping ahead to some things coming up in August: I am a finalist in the Cascade Awards for a published nonfiction short story. Those winners will be announced on 8/18. I’ll keep you posted. And I will make my editorial debut in a memoir written by a friend in just a week! I’m not posting the cover or title of that book until my friend—the author—does, but am super excited about it. You will definitely hear more about this shortly! 

5) And finally, I have a cover reveal to make along with a sale up tell you about. My newest release is now up for pre-order! It’s the last in the “Glimpses of God” year around devotional series and the kindle is on sale if you pre-order it. I love my publisher’s cover design! Presenting Glimpses of God Autumn published my “Entrusted Books”!!
