Hey guys! So, I'm finally out of school for the semester and I can finally breathe...but the
best thing of all came wrapped in a package, with the name of Tate Publishing, in the mail to me Monday evening. My ARC (Advanced Reader's Copy) arrived! When I opened it and saw it, I nearly cried tears of joy. This all feel so surreal.
My book should print for distribution and purchasing sometime April 2014. I cannot wait to see where God take this book!
God has already opened so many doors for me for this book. The first being, Tate Publishing accepted my book when they only take a very few percent of manuscripts. The most recent one was a HUGE blessing. A month or so ago, the production of my book was put on hold because I could not yet pay the remaining balance on the book due to my 15 hour semester consuming the majority of my hours at work.
If I had to guess, I might could have had the remainder by a few months from now. It saddened me, but I knew inside God had everything under control.
I prayed for weeks, "God, if it is Your Will, please provide a way for me financially to pay the remainder so the halt of production will be dismissed." Soon after I prayed, I had a dream I received a check in the mail for more than enough to cover my book. The next day, someone paid my remaining debt by check. God is SO good. Now, the book has moved forward and arriving to the last stages of production before distribution!
The pictures at the top are of the ARC I received Monday. I hope that many of you will consider purchasing a book once it comes out. You won't regret it! :]
God bless you all, and have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
