Updates

It’s been a while since I updated you all on what I’ve been doing lately. I’m not even sure when the last time was, so bear with me if you already know a lot of this. I think I’ll do a monthly update.

January

In January, I published my first novella collection, A Mighty Fortress was promoted on BookBub, and I saw hope that I just might be able to make it work to write full-time.

Giveaway winner and April 1st

Today is the day the giveaway winner is announced! Thank you to all the entrants, I was pleasantly surprised at how many people used the new format.

Without further ado, our winner is…

Lucy Reynolds!!!

Congratulations! I’ll be emailing you soon to get your address!

If you didn’t win, but would still like a paperback version of any of my books, please let me know and we can discuss pricing. OR, if you live in the La Crosse, Wisconsin area, you can come to Redemption Bookstore (201 Main St., Onalaska, WI 54650) on Saturday between 2:00 and 4:00 for my book signing!

It’s here! It’s here! it’s here!

My baby is now out and available to the world. Not literally, but it seems like it. The Solid Rock is by far my favorite novel of the series. There are many reasons for this. 1.) I’ve always loved reading mysteries, but was always intimidated by writing one. Now I’ve written two (one not published yet) and I think I’ve even done them both successfully! 2.) The spiritual themes in The Solid Rock are so much deeper than in my previous books. For more on those themes, check out the guest post I’m doing on Thursday on the Trust and Obey blog. 3.) It was the easiest rough draft to write. I wrote the entire rough draft (about 60,000 words) in 32 days by hand. God has blessed this book in so many ways. 4.) My cover designer came up with a great idea after my original idea didn’t work.

Make sure you read through all the way to the end of the post so you can find out about my free book, the giveaway, a fun release party, and links to the other blogs on the tour. Be sure to check out some of those blogs for different excerpts and fun interviews.

About the Book

Joshua woke with a quiet groan. As his senses woke up one at a time, he cracked his eyelids open. Sure enough, there was a silhouetted form standing at the foot of the bed. From the smell, the person was either from the brothel down the street or had recently left one.

He forced himself to breathe evenly and reached for the knife in his thigh holster. With as tough and evil a voice as he could imitate, he spoke, “State your intentions.”

Pinkerton detective, Joshua Brookings, is sent on a job that seems simple on the surface. His fellow detective has been kidnapped and his boss, William Pinkerton senses foul play. Joshua is sent to investigate Edward’s case in hopes of finding the kidnapped detective and helping solve the case that has taken over ten years to investigate.

Arriving in Cheyenne, Joshua finds much more than a simple kidnapping. Yet again, he must go undercover, something he made his boss promise never to make him do again. The only Christian in the outlaw group, Joshua falters and almost loses faith in God’s providence. Will he stand on the solid Rock or drown in the sinking sand?

The Solid Rock Cover Reveal

Today, I’m excited to announce that I have not only an official release day, but also a cover for The Solid Rock, AND it’s also Joshua Brookings’ birthday!! There’s a catch to seeing the cover, though. You need to gather all 15 clues. There’s also an exciting giveaway of 10 books, well 14 if you count the box set as 5 instead of just 1.  Have fun searching for the clues! Instructions on how to see the cover are under the Clues section of the blog post.

Exciting Announcement!

I’m super excited to announce that I have a cover for The Solid Rock!!!! And I have a cover reveal coming up on Friday that you will NOT want to miss. It has clues, a fun giveaway, interviews, and excerpts.

To whet your appetite a little, here’s a sneak peek Perry put together for me.

(Note: If you want one of these for your own cover, head over to Perry’s website. She only charges $5.00 for them!)

Sneak Peek

 

I have an exciting treat for all of you. First of all, I only have an edit or two before I send The Solid Rock to the proofreaders! Second of all, I have a sneak peek available for you to read if you’d like. The sneak peek is rather long, but then also contains the entire prologue, so it should be. Here is the link to the sneak peek. Enjoy!

I have an announcement…

And I’d like you all to be the first to hear it!*

Actually, it’s more than one announcement and I hope you are all as excited as I am.

First

I have another sale coming up soon. A Mighty Fortress will be free January 24-28 and will be advertised on Bookbub on January 24^th. ^_^ Be Thou My Vision will be on sale January 24-28(?), and Redeemed will be free January 24-28, plus as I mentioned yesterday, Life and Salvation is discounted through January 31^st.

Taking a deep breath

November is over and December is already almost halfway done. Where does time fly? I don’t remember if I mentioned it on here or not, but I did NaNoWriMo again this year. And won with just over 60,000 words. I did not write a novel, however. I finished one novella and wrote two others. I am very excited for all of these novellas.
