It's Here! "Quest for Leviathan" release day!!

The whole writing process never ceases to amaze me. One would think that, for a short story, there's nothing extra exciting about "Quest for Leviathan." But for me, it holds a powerful punch of excitement!

First... God has seen it through! I had moments of doubt as I tried writing this that it was a story I was supposed to tell. But, it was done all in His timing (more on that later) and, as with each of my publications, He has guided me and led me to do more than I thought imaginable.

Second... the idea was one that came to me while reading my Bible. Those are always fun! I thought it would be an easy-to-write idea (I mean, Leviathan! Come on!!!!). Instead, it took me the span of a few months to get beyond the first few paragraphs. I knew where I wanted to go, I knew the message God had given me for the story, but it just wasn't coming together. Lots of prayer and patience went into this project!

Third... the timing was completely in God's hands. As I mentioned above, "Quest for Leviathan" wasn't a weekend project. But then and again, had I released it in the fall, I just might not have had Natalie illustrate it for me--as it wasn't until much later that I decided I wanted to try some illustrations this go-round. There are many other exciting things related to "Quest for Leviathan's" release (some of which I'm not at liberty to share yet) that are all happening because it's a June release, and not a fall 2017 release.

Fourth... all of you have been so excited and supportive of my little story. For an author, that means the world (and I truly mean it). Unless you're an author, you might not know just HOW MUCH it means to have others read your work, share about your work, and encourage you in so many ways! Thank you all to everyone who has made this such an exciting release to me!

Now... a little more fun stuff for release day...
