Savor the insomnia…

This month on the Christian Writers blog chain, we’re talking about the word “savor” and its many possibilities. What have I been savoring lately? Oh, that’s an easy one – I’m savoring the experience of being a published writer. It started earlier this week, when I uploaded Chantal’s Call to Amazon as a Kindle e-book. … Continue reading »

She’s alive!!!

At some point between 9:30 p.m. Central last night and now (2:45 a.m.), Chantal’s Call went live on Amazon.

The First Pitch

Welcome to the first post of the October CW blog chain.  This month, we’re talking about pitches – the book-to-agent-or-publisher kind, not the ones involving baseballs and softballs. Since I’m new to the world of publishing and need to know a bit more about the subject, I volunteered to go first and do a bit … Continue reading »
