We entered the Christian Writer’s Guild “First Novel” contest. The other day, they sent back a notification that our winning novel did not make the semi-finals.  Go figure! We think it will become an academy-award winning movie some day … hopefully before we die. Oh, and be on the New York Times best-seller list.  It’s like believing your baby will grow up to be president. Then you start changing diapers and getting up in the middle of the night. A recent pamphlet from iUniverse warns most authors quit promoting their books after the first few months. It is hard work. We have book-signings tomorrow and next week. I need to call to make more appointments and prepare more press releases, custom-designed for each place. I need to get some information flyers printed: we put a chapter excerpt on one side and Vicky Bergman’s review on the other, then attach a bookmark or a postcard to each half-sheet for hand-outs. It gets the information out, even if people don’t buy and read the book right away.  By the way, buy our book and read it! then let us know what you think.

More later.
