My publicist just sent this review of DARKROOM to me. It’s great to see that my book is getting around to the different publications and media outlets. After waiting for over a year, the publication of DARKROOM is about to happen! From the very beginning, this has been a journey of faith and resolve.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. –Philippians 3:12-14 (TNIV)
Well, today I finally got to experience what so many first time authors published by a major house feel. Holding the final version of your book in your hand–the one that hopefully millions of people around the nation (and abroad) will enjoy
What’s the next most exciting thing to holding the published book in your hand? Seeing the full cover art that the designers have created for your upcoming release. Here is what the cover designers for DARKROOM from Howard Books/Simon & Schuster sent me and have authorized for me to share.
I had a great time talking with Laura Lester Fournier on her radio show “Spiritually Speaking.”
While I’m not what I’d call a “religious” person, I am a person of deep faith. On this show, I speak not only about my books and writing, but candidly about my faith which, while something integral to my being, is not something I push upon people. Rather, I try to live it out and share with those who may be interested.
