Hey you guys! Don’t forget that one of my books makes a great Christmas gift for your friends! Share the story and share the love! And wouldn’t it be extra nice to give them the collection? I can cut you a deal if you buy all three. Just email me and we’ll chat! Or, if you are in Lexington, stop by Bakery Blessings & Bookstore @ the Bar! 1999 Harrodsburg Rd. Lexington, KY 40503!

So you haven’t heard from me for a while. I’ve been a bit busy.
My last official book event this year was the Dunbar High School Reading Extravaganza! Not only did five students read Never Alone, but one extra came who was in the middle of the story! (So sorry to spoil that one part for you, but thanks for wanting to finish it anyway!) And I think it was Nadine? who read Forever Family from the last Extravaganza who chose to read Never Alone this time because she knew me and liked the other book. What an honor! Thank you so much for liking my work!
I received an email from Emily in Colorado who just finished Stand Strong. What a sweet girl. I am so glad she liked the book so much she and her friend are going to write a song inspired by the story! AWESOME!!
But here’s the deal, I won’t be out much. I just opened a shop in Lexington, KY called Bakery Blessings & Bookstore @ the Bar. So you can find me there if you want me to sign your book. Stop in too, because I am carrying books from some other local KY Authors and they write some really great stuff!

I am so excited to be participating once again in the Kentucky Book Fair, and even more excited that on Friday, before the big event, they have a day just for children and youth!
The KY Book Fair is being held at the Frankfort Convention Center on Friday from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. for children and youth and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for everyone!
This year I am bringing my latest release “Stand Strong.” You can read about it here on my site. Don’t worry, I am also bringing along “Never Alone” and “Forever Family.” I couldn’t leave those behind!
I will also be looking for local KY Authors who would like to sell their books out of my new store, Bakery Blessings & Bookstore @ the Bar, opening just after Thanksgiving. You can visit that website here. www.wix.com/Jan36/BakeryBlessings
I can’t wait to meet you all and tell you all about Celeste, Chris, and Carrie! See you there!

Just going through things and making sure I am ready for Mt. Sterling Court Days. It’s this weekend in Mt Sterling, KY. If you’ve never been before, it can be really quite overwhelming. You can walk for miles and still keep shopping. In fact last year, I even think someone was selling a kitchen sink. It is considered the world’s largest flea market and it lasts for four days. It begins Friday October 14th and ends around five p.m. October 17th – yes, a Monday. They expanded it a day a few years ago. A lot of people shut their tents down when it gets dark, but I believe others go well into the night. And if you love Fair food – it’s all over the place. Funnel Cakes, Bloomin Onions, Steak sandwiches, Pulled Pork, Fried Taters and Onions, everything! So come on down and see if you can find me! I’ll be in the same place I was last year and for those of you who haven’t been – I am in one of the city lots.
This year I will be selling all three books, Forever Family, Never Alone, and Stand Strong. I’ll also have my bookmarks. And this year I will be featuring mini-loaves of pumpkin, applesauce, and banana from my new endeavor opening soon: Bakery Blessings & Bookstore @ the Bar, llc.

Hope to see you there!

So, God has given me some great big dreams. It’s scary to think what He wants me to do, but yet it is exhilerating at the same time! I trust that He will put the pieces together. I see Him sewing them in place as we speak. I am no longer in a hurry to get to the finish, just willing to sit back and wait on God. It takes me a long time to get to this place, but now that I am here, I am at peace. I appreciate your prayers in more ways than you could ever imagine. It makes me very nervous, and once again I feel totally incapable of what He has put before me, but now He is drawing those to me that have the experience I need and are willing to hold my hand through this. Praise be to the Almighty God who has everything under His control.

If you are attending Youth 2011 this weekend in West Lafayette, IN at Purdue University, then look me up! I will be hosting 2 workshops. The first one is “Using (His)tory to tell Your Story.” The second is an Affinity group, which is like a discussion group and it is called “Are You Being Called to Full-Time Ministy?”
All three of my books will be in the bookstore at the event, and I will have some on hand in the seminar room if you would rather get them directly from me. I will be available Wednesday thru Friday to sign books or chat with you or your youth leader.
I look forward to a wonderful weekend of worship and praise with thousands of my new closests friends!

Okay folks, here we go!
The next person who buys a “Forever Family” from my website will receive a FREE “Stand Strong!”
This will put me up to 500 copies sold of “Forever Family!” I’m pretty darn excited about that! We have a ways to go on “Never Alone,” but it is a lot younger than “Forever Family” so we’re still giving it time.
Thank you so much for supporting this ministry. I hope you can know the love Jesus has for you through His stories He lets me tell!
