Into the Fire

First off: I have zero marketing skills. Honestly, to anticipate marketing my work is a pall upon presenting the finished product. The question remains: Why can't I just put it out there and mention the new novel occasionally in strategic places and be done with it? 

My ninth novel to be published is titled Then . . . you and will be out for purchase within two months if everything proceeds as hoped.   

You remember the tease post of December 13th, 2021? Here's the information I promised you. That night we did a photo shoot for the cover of this new novel. The photographer and his wife and the two people on the cover are friends of mine. I've known the female model since she was a little girl, and the male model was my source for Race. Some of you who read this post will know the photographer Ken Kuehne and his wife Barbara from Facebook. Ken took the pictures for the front and back cover. The female model, a photographer in her own right, did the editing and made the final photo available for the cover designer who followed my suggestions to come up with the present front cover which you will preview when we're closer to publication. Needless to say, I'm pleased with the cover and especially enjoy the personal touch of having had friends in primary roles and contributions.

Now about this story . . . I love it. Only one other person has read this manuscript besides me. She gave me a very positive review. You will see her words and identity on the back cover, and I can't thank her enough for doing me the favor of taking the time to read it since I asked if she could manage it in a hurry – which, as it turned out, I didn't need to do because of later unexpected delays. 

This is the bare bones prelude to information about my coming new novel Then . . . you. More information will follow as I work my way through presenting this book to you.

Father, you know I know apart from you, I can do nothing. I thank you daily for all that you've given me – none of it deserved. You are an amazing God, and I can never thank you enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
