I gave myself an hour or so the other day to take time away from my work, and to do some writing. A preface and first chapter of a sequel to The Runaway Pastor are underway! It felt good. My wife and one other reader I allowed in at this early stage have been very complimentary. And it felt good to be back in the world of novel creation, instead of editing and planning.

Did I mention to you that I got a really nice endorsement, and it is (at this point) the lead on the back cover of the book. Those things should be tied up by early next week when I have a quick meeting with my publisher and agent.

Thanks for following along, and for helping me get the word out about The Runaway Pastor. To this point, you are the only marketing staff I have. And you are doing a great job.

My grand daughter just came over--and writing this dropped off the priority list. Later!

First Look at New Book Cover

These are exciting days for me. It has been nearly three years since I began writing The Runaway Pastor. And now after a year of seeking publication, we are only weeks away. Thanks to all of you who have followed along and shown interest. You have been very encouraging to me.

To the right you can see the book cover for The Runaway Pastor. I think it came out well. We looked at several proposals, and this one won the day with the publisher and me. Hope you like it.

More soon. Remember to direct your friends here as you are able. From the looks of my web traffic, more people have read the first seven chapters in the past two weeks than in any month previous! Word is getting out--thanks to you.
