Marcher Lord Press


A new speculative Christian fiction publisher launched yesterday. If any of you are fond of fantasy/sci-fi/weird stuff, then you should check out these books:
Marcher Lord Press

I happened to meet Jeff Gerke, the founder, at the ACFW conference last month. I was sitting next to him during the shuttle ride to the airport. Nice guy! I believe his publication business will be successful, because, currently, there are no other publishers that focus exclusively on Christian speculative fiction.

Due to my content edits, and going to the conference, I never drew the names for my last book giveaway. I plan on doing that soon, also, I plan on posting another book giveaway within the next few days or so.

Milk Money Cover Mockup!


(Simply click on cover to enlarge)

Here is a mockup for the cover to my next novel, Milk Money! This is not the final cover! I’ve already asked if the cows could be changed from brown and white to black and white, and they told me they could change that! I’ve also asked for a change to one of the words on the backcover and they said they would do it!

Doesn’t it look nice though? It looks refreshing and cute! I love it!

Too Tired To Blog

I’ve literally been on the go, and running around since I got here yesterday! I went to bed late last night and was up early this morning.

I went to the Mall of America for a Barbour Publisher event! That place is huge! There’s an amusement park right in the building!

So far, I’m having a great time! I’ll post some of my thoughts about the conference within the next day or so.

Happy Birthday To Me!


Popping in from the land of deadline to wish myself a Happy Birthday! Needless to say, I won’t be celebrating today since I’m still working on my novel, Bittersweet Memories, that’s due on August 1!

Hubby did take me on a DC cruiseship last Saturday night for dinner. The boat was the Odyssey, and we had a great, romantic time. The food was good, too.

Also, I’ve been receiving some private emails, and a few blog comments on my Dr. of Divinity entry that I posted last November. I believe some misread that post, so I’ll be posting part two on the same subject sometime after my deadline! I receive approximately 200 hits a month to that particular post, so a lot of people have been reading it.
