Some feedback

A reader called me.  Now she's my friend, but she is NOT the type to tell me something because I want to hear it or because she wants to please me.  She was crying.  She loved the book, couldn't put it down and cried through it.  She's not one to cry either.  And she said it was clean and refreshing.

If she had just said that she liked it, that it was great, best thing she ever read, I would not have believed her.  But it made her cry and the things I had written about that I struggled so much with were 'clean and refreshing.'

Woo-hoo!  Success!  Way to go Joe!

Another reader wrote:

Your book...is SOOOOOO good! I couldn't put it down. The characters were so real and drew me into their story. I loved that the book illustrates that no matter what has happened in your past, God is there to forgive and to bring you to know Him...as well as having amazing plans for you. I don't want to give too much away for those who still plan to read it. I just wanted to let you know that I am so glad I read it - thank you for writing it! I cannot wait to read more from you (hint! hint!).

Over a decade of sweat and angst to hear these things - it was well worth it.

Book description:  Alcoholism, sexual addiction, child abuse and the suicide of a parent are the inherited demons plaguing and isolating Joe Taylor even after four years of sobriety and celibacy, trying to drive him back to the wild parties of his youth.

Poverty, abandonment and neglect are Wendy Masten’s inheritance. And one night, in a desperate attempt to reunite with her long-lost sister, Wendy and Joe meet unexpectedly and begin a quest toward freedom and long-lasting love.

Grow with them as faith unfolds and unleashes its healing power, transforming Joe and Wendy into the people God intended them to be with the inheritance He planned as they become a couple and prepare to enter the sacrament of marriage.

Rated R: For mature topics, language and some brief sexual depictions.

The book is finished.

As you can see, the new book is finished.  It's not yet available through Amazon.com, but should be after Easter.  It went a lot more quickly than I thought it would.  Happy Dance!

I'm writing again.  Monday through Friday I am writing three pages a day.  I should be done with the first draft of the new book by the end of June.  This one I am writing for Steeple Hill.  It's challenging, but a good challenge.  I know I can do it.

And while that is going on, my mind toys with the idea of a second book to follow Inheritance - another story with the same characters, exploring some different issues as lives of secondary characters unfold.  Am I crazy to try to write two books at once?  I tell myself, "YES!  Leave it alone, pace yourself."  But my self says, "We can do one book on week days and the other on weekends."  Right...

So the good news, then, is that the writer's block has lifted.  I miss my Sugar Booger, but I can write again.  =)
