HEY, WRITERS! I want to encourage you! a.k.a. Teaching for Writers Conferences

A novelist is a creator of worlds, and although this is a HUGELY IMPORTANT task, creating worlds doesn’t (usually) pay enough to cease creating and rest on your laurels. Never fear! Novelists can use their mad-creating-skills to help others. This brings us to the topic of teaching writing workshops at writers’ conferences.

One of best parts of my calling is being able to encourage writers. A long time ago, three BIG-TIME Christian writers encouraged me, and yes, I will drop their names. All three are NYT best-selling authors, and all three took time out of their schedules to speak to a brand-new author. 

Frank Peretti responded to me personally when my first novel came out and encouraged me to keep writing. Bill Myers did the same, communicating me with Facebook Private Messaging, to wish me success. The biggest boost of all came from author Eric Wilson (Fireproof) who dared to READ MY NOVEL when still in the early stages… AND HE GAVE ME A BLURB to use when it was ready to publish!

I mention these in connection with the thrill of accomplished authors teaching at writers’ conferences because THESE THREE AUTHORS ENCOURAGED ME WHEN I WAS JUST STARTING OUT. As soon as I had a few years under my belt, the LORD sent someone to ask me to teach a seminar for their writers’ conference. I praise the LORD that she did, because I have never looked back.

Every opportunity is a blessing and an honor, from small book clubs, small writing groups, to middle-size and larger full-fledged writing conferences, (so far) I have not had to turn any down. I have shown up for 7 people 2 hours away, and a hundred people just up the road. The quantity of ears isn’t important – it’s the chance to tell a writer, “YOUR BOOK IS IMPORTANT!” and “NO ONE CAN WRITE YOUR BOOK BUT YOU!”

The hard-working prize-winning poet and author, Rita Moritz of Pell City’s Writers Anonymous has asked me to teach at the MID-WINTERS WRITERS CONFERENCE six years running (2014-19) !!

The oft-published author Denise George and equally prolific writer Carolyn Tomlin hired me to teach 90-min sessions at their Boot Camp for Christian Writers, BEESON DIVINITY SCHOOL AT SAMFORD UNIVERSITY, 7 times!

I am excited to announce that Southern Christian Writer’s Conference has invited me to teach two workshops this year, so mark your calendar for June 7 & 8 – I want to see you in my class!

In closing, if you are a writer, attend conferences to learn! You may also one day, want to instruct a workshop. We need encouragement and we need to hear from those who have 1) been there and 2) found success.

Thank you to every conference organizer and book club scheduler that has ever asked me to visit. I look forward to my 2019 visits!

EXCITING NOVEL UPDATE:

My #1 Bestselling Christian Thriller/Vampire The Rabbit Saga series is hotter than ever with the Special 10th Anniversary Edition being released soon from Outskirts Press. A brand new edition to overtake and excite a new generation of readers. When Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider first came out in 2009, she went to #1 within the first few months, garnering 100 5-star reviews. Book 2 came out, Rabbit Legacy, and almost immediately, I suffered a family change that caused me to stop writing for several years. In 2016, Book Three, Rabbit Redemption finally came out, and then Book Four, Anomaly followed in 2018. Now, Book Five, Conundrum wants to be born. Let's pray for her as she is completed! Thank you to all who are down the rabbit hole with me!

Novel Excerpts: Just enough deliciousness to get you salivating...

When I'm waiting for the next book in a series I'm enjoying, I gobble up anything the author throws at me in the interim. Some authors post excerpts of upcoming novels and this is the cruelest and most delicious pain of all. Not only do I get to read a snippet of what's to come, but then I have to wait until it's published to see more.

I have been fielding emails requesting that I post a piece of yums from Book Four, ANOMALY: Beyond the Rabbit. Today, I did just that. I picked a couple of chapters at the beginning so readers will immediately recognize the action. Have a look, but note this one has spoilers if you haven't read Book Three, Rabbit Redemption. Rabbit fans have followed Elders Canaan and Kilmeade through all sorts of hell to get to Book Four, so that is why they have hopped out of the Trilogy. Their storyline must be resolved as well and ANOMALY is finished and has been sent to editing.

The final book in the Rabbit Saga is entitled CONUNDRUM: The Lost Rabbit and is being written now. I assure you, the adventure only becomes more enjoyable with each new page and each new book!

I better get back to writing. Elder Canaan is calling...

Rabbit Chasers are Back on the Job, Book Three of the Rabbit Trilogy hits the Stores 1/15/2018 after a 4-Year Wait

It has been four years since fans of The Rabbit Trilogy have been able to re-join the chase and discover the fates of their favorite--albeit, left dangling--characters. Starting with Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider, readers hopped into the fray with Beth Rider as she ran for her life from the Rakum, a bloodthirsty race of miscreants spawned when the world was new.

Those who survived the chase, were tossed into the trap once more in Book Two, Rabbit Legacy. Beth Rider's efforts in Book One made a huge difference in the Rakum way of life, and now their new leader seeks revenge on all those who ruined the future. Book Two turns the readers' focus to the Rakum themselves and how they deal with the challenges thrust upon them by the plot twist (which I will not spoil in this blog).

NOW IT IS TIME FOR A LITTLE REDEMPTION...

Book Three, Rabbit Redemption brings the trilogy to a close as anyone left viable and strong after Book Two will need to choose a side. The great thing about the world of the Rabbit and Beth Rider? The one who is strongest is not so easily discerned by sheer muscle alone. In this world, spiritual might outdoes the flesh more times than not.

You are cordially invited to join the chase. Start with Book One, or if you're feeling punchy, grab Book Three and brave the waters up to your neck. There is one sure thing -- no matter where you begin your Rabbit journey, you will be hooked.

Have a fun down the Rabbit hole and remember to either cover your neck or bring bandages--you'll get bloody no matter what.

Did you read Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider four years ago? Need a refresher?

Catch up with the Rabbit

Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider / Book One

BOOK 1

The decimation of the Rakum began with Beth Rider seven years back at what became known as “Last Assembly,” when a woman marked as a Rabbit brought down their leaders with an amazing power the Rakum knew nothing about. After that night, the 100,000-strong Rakum population had been reduced to half.

 Rabbit Legacy / Book Two

BOOK TWO

Over the next few years, Elder Rufus—insane and bloodthirsty—rose up to lead them, destroying thousands upon thousands of the Brethren who refused to bend the knee to his psychotic agenda. By the time Isaac The Last showed up with Canaan to destroy Rufus, a mere twenty thousand brethren remained.

Now the time has come for...
