Not only that, I finished working with Robert Oliver, of Oliver designs, for my book cover, and I love it. Tell me what you think? I'm still researching who to e-publish through. Perhaps Book-Baby. Who do you recommend?
I'm also thrilled with the endorsement I received from NY Times best-selling author of The Lost Valentine, James Michael Pratt, which was made into a Hallmark movie. Wanna know he said? Here it is:
“A well written page turner for those who
enjoy mystery, conflict and ultimately faith overcoming tragedy. I highly
recommend Kellen’s Hope by Danie Marie.”
Wowza! Totally cool, huh? He blessed my
socks off… Um, sandals! Who wears socks in the summer?
I'm going to have glossy cards made up with
the cover on the glossy side, and the book blurb on the
other to hand out to friends, and anyone I meet who shows interest, plus, I need to prepare an author page on Facebook. :)
As you can see, everything is finally coming
together for my debut novel. I've been working on Kellen's hope for close to
five years, in which I've had three surgeries. A couple were multiple
operations done at the same time, so to finally have my novel completed is an exciting time in my life. I can't wait to
share with you when it's finally out there and ready to be downloaded.
And just so you know, this isn't the first
story I've written. The other three are novellas. My fantasy Where Darkness
Dwells is nearly ready to be published as well. I have a few pictures picked
out that would be really cool for the cover on that one.
Let me know what you think of the
cover. :)
Perhaps, Perseverance, should have been the
title of this post.
"I am the vine; you are the branches.
Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart
from me you can do nothing." ESV
Lord, thank you for helping us walk along
the path of your choosing, and for directing our footsteps along the way. We
thank you Lord, for your perfect timing in bringing about your will. Help us to
wait patiently on you. In Jesus name, amen.
What work has the Lord been doing in your life ?
Love & Blessings,
