Hi! My latest book Her Abundant Joy<\/span> is on the shelves of your local bookstore or library. I know, I know. You knew that!<\/p>\n

But what I forgot to mention earlier this month was that I am doing a drawing in June.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you leave a comment this month with your email address (Use the (dot) (@) form to frustrate Spammers please!)<\/span>, you will be entered in the drawing to win an autographed copy of the final book in my Texas Star of Destiny series. I think it’s one of the best books I’ve written yet. And if you read it, I’d be interested in what you think.<\/p>\n

Writing is a funny business. I spend months planning, researching, writing, and revising. Then my book goes off and ….. The book may sell thousands of copies. Yet I rarely if ever get to interact with someone who has read my book.<\/p>\n

Just think of it as working hard to prepare a special family dinner and then—not getting to watch your family eat it. Blogs and social networks like GoodReads and Facebook help a bit. But writers really do live a life of DELAYED gratification. GRIN<\/p>\n

Oh, well, I was born to write and that’s what I do!<\/p>\n

Thanks for the ten readers who voted to let me know if I should change the format of this blog or not. The unanimous (though small number) vote was to keep the mixture of my thoughts and the stories and thoughts of other authors and readers. I must agree.<\/p>\n

Now be sure to make a comment this month to be entered into the June drawing. Blessings–Lyn
