Summer Update

I haven't written in a while simply because not much is happening in my life.  I'm still in a Life Group, I still volunteer with the USO and I still live with Elaina.  Summer has been hot, humid and thurnderstormy!

I do have exciting news to share regarding Elaina!  On June 9, 2017, she published a novel on Amazon Digital Services LLC  called, Chasing Hope, A Story about Finding Family. 

Paperback book cover

In the first few days there were over 900 downloads of her novel. As a marketing plan, these downloads were free, with the idea that good reviews would come from those downloads. She currently has 16 great reviews on Amazon and a few more on Good Reads.  It's listed in the category of Women's Fiction and Romance.  If you like uplifting stories with substance and heart, you will enjoy her novel!

There have been many more downloads of the Kindle version and also paperbacks that have been sold.  We are hoping for an increase in sales as time goes by.  She is currently working on another novel that will include characters from the first one.  Her "fans" have asked for more!

Here's a link to her author page on Amazon:

I am extremely proud of her for using her God-given gift of writing.  I know God smiles every time she writes a new sentence. 


That's it for now, until I have more to say!  (I've lived here for over a year and a half now, so I'm practically a native! 😉)
