Psalm 118:6

Psalm 118:6 Dear Lord, Thank you so much that you are always with me. Thank you for reminding me that I don’t need to be afraid because you’re there, watching over me. Thank you that you are far greater than anything that could happen to me in this world, and I need only trust in you. Amen 詩篇118:6 親愛なる主よ、 あなたがいつも私と共にいてくださることを心から感謝します。あなたがそこにいて、私を見守っていてくださるので、恐れる必要がないことを思い出させてくださりありがとうございます。あなたはこの世で私に起こりうるどんなことよりもはるかに偉大な方であり、私はただあなたを信じるだけでよいことを感謝します。 アーメン

Writers: online classes in August and Pitch Coaching

Any writers interested in taking my online classes? Info is below. I'm also offering a new Story Sensei service, Pitch Coaching. Info is below also. Online classes in August My wrists are starting to feel better, so I’ve decided to hold four online classes in August for anyone who’s interested: Synopsis writing online class ($30) August 1 - 15 Characterization online class ($30) August 1 - 15 Self-Editing online class ($40) August 15 - 30 Deep Point of View online class ($40) August 15 - 30 Each class (except for Self-Editing) is essentially the same as my worksheets, but in the class, I’ll be giving individual feedback on your homework. Many people have taken my classes multiple times, each time using a different manuscript, because they found the personalized feedback more helpful than just using my worksheets. At the bottom of the post is more information on each of the classes. Pitch Coaching For those of you going to RWA conference at the end of this month

Nook Tablet offer from Barnes and Noble

Patchwork Mysteries #27

I’m working on another book for Guideposts in the Patchwork Mysteries series , book 27. Not sure what the title is yet, but it’s a WEDDING!!!! I love writing weddings!!!! If you think of it, please say a prayer I can finish it quickly! It’s not due until the end of August, but I have another book due around the same time so I’m trying to finish this one early so I can work on the other book. Thanks!

Theme song for STALKER IN THE SHADOWS

I’m at the Love Inspired Authors blog today talking about my “theme song” for when I was writing Stalker in the Shadows . Click here to read the blog post!

I’m going to RWA!

I decided to go to RWA conference , oh, this morning. I’m registered! Who’s going? My editor got me into the Avon booksigning Friday July 27th from 9:45 to 11:15 am (Zondervan is owned by Harper Collins, who owns Avon). I’ll be signing Protection for Hire so if you want a free autographed copy, be sure to come by! My problem is that there are so many Avon authors whose books I want to get autographed copies of!

A visit to Zondervan

Whew! After being offline for two weeks, I finished a book, read the Twilight series, and visited my editors at Zondervan! And I have pics! Isn't this nice of them? This was at the front door. This is the lobby area. This is my macro editor, Becky Philpott! This is my senior editor, Sue Brower! This is editorial assistant Bridgette Brooks. On the side, she teaches voice lessons and she gave me a cool pointer about supporting my breath. :) I didn't catch her at her desk, but this is the desk area of my Marketing Director, Alicia Mey! I love her wall. Some of you may know, Zondervan moved its distribution to a centralized location run by their parent company, Harper Collins. So we visited the ghostly warehouse. We thought about throwing a few paper airplanes in the space.
