It's been a blessing to be a part of this powerful book. Sara's story is a difficult one of terror and death, lies and oppression. But most of all, hers is a story of finding grace and offering forgiveness to those who hurt her the most. Check out an interview about her story here and check out the book on her website, http://www.rubyridgetofreedom.com/.
Only hours after finishing the book, I headed south to the Oregon Christian Writers' conference. Wow, what a blessing! The four-day conference took a toll on my health and it'll take a while to recover, but it was worth it. There were a lot of "divine appointments" with other writers I met who needed a bit of encouragement and we exchanged a lot of business cards and arranged to exchange critiques and encouragement.
There was a professional photographer there offering author photo shoots, but I'd decided I couldn't afford it, even though I need one for my website and have people asking for it when I get short stuff published. Then they drew my name for a free giveaway! Thank you, God. Another writer there who happens to be a professional stylist flagged me down and offered to do me up before the shoot. So many blessings. I should get the photos in a few weeks.
Most exciting was that I met with a big name publisher who asked to see Voices of the Dark when it's finished and then I met with one of the top agents in the industry who rarely takes new writers. He said, "I don't ask people to send me their manuscripts. Will you send me your manuscripts?" So I sent them off this weekend! Maybe nothing will come of it but it's so encouraging to even get asked for a second look.
Wishing I felt better to be working hard on finishing Voices, but I still have a few weeks before the term starts back up at the college I work at, so hopefully can recover some in that time and get a lot done.

My friend Sparrow,
God is never boring. He continues to prove His existence through people like you. I want you to know how inspiring you are, to writers (out there) not yet familiar with the room of success, in the literary field. A lot of us are standing at the door, peeking in through the mail slot. But you're walking around that space; brushing shoulders with the "In-Crowd", and making a way for your craft to become huge. All the while, you remain true to the Lord.
You're just an ordinary woman, doing extraordinary tasks in His name, and that, my dear, is inspiring. I believe God's going to take care of you physically because you follow His lead through your passion for writing.
Keep up the good work, my friend. Your fans and fellow Christians are watching and lifting you up.
