New Book Contract!

 

I recently signed a new book contract!! Woohoo! 

This is my first real novel. I wrote another fiction about ten years ago but it was a fiction based on fact so more of a creative nonfiction. 

Three years ago, my oldest son and I went on a tour of Savannah, GA where we learned that in the 1750’s men and children were thrown down a large underground drainage pipe, loaded into pirate ships, and forced to serve on those ships. On the drive back from that tour, we bounced around ideas for a novel/—character names, and plot ideas. And from that initial discussion our new book, “Savannah Sunrise” was born. 

The book, co-authored with my son, has been contracted by Elk Lake Publishing Inc. it doesn’t have a release date yet but I will definitely let you know it when I do. 

Selah News!

 

I’m so excited to be heading to the Selah Awards again this May! A devotion I wrote for Arise Daily has been named a finalist in the devotions online category. Here is a link to the Devotion

Another story in a Chicken Soup Book!

I got word a couple of weeks ago that another story I wrote will be included in an upcoming “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book. This one will be in their book titled, “I Can’t Stop Laughing”. I don’t know when it will come out but will let people know when it does. This will be the fourth Chicken Soup book in a year to include one of my stories. The picture is of one of the other three that came out earlier this year. I do not have a pic of the cover of the new one. I’ve had stories in a book they released in winter ‘25, summer ‘25, autumn ‘25, and now this one that I think will come out spring of ‘26. This is my third story to be included in one of their humorous books. I never saw myself as a humor writer, so this is fun! My life has certainly had its funny moments and I’m glad I’ve learned to laugh at them.
