It’s been quiet on my blog for almost a year! It’s hard to believe I’ve been quiet in this space for so long, but I’ve been very busy behind the scenes. Last winter I began to work very hard on overhauling my book proposal. Years before I had had an agent and had shopped this book proposal around to various publishers. Now, I was agent-less, but the belief that someday this book would be born never left me. I was certain it would happen eventually, even if I had to self-publish it. In March I went to Square Halo’s conference and I felt like I found a place that represented the type of work I wanted to do. The people Square Halo attracted were the types of writers and artists I appreciated. Once the proposal was finished I sent it off to Square Halo.
I waited and waited.
Then I got the email. My proposal was accepted! I turned from reading the email at my desk to tell my kids the good news–and burst into tears!
All summer I labored over this book. It’s been such a journey over fourteen years and I hope to tell the full backstory soon. And when I do, I’ll be sharing it in a new space. Although I will keep this website, I have now joined Substack and I’ll be sharing all new content there from this point on. I hope you will join me and subscribe to my new writing home. If you subscribe my posts will come directly to your inbox and you won’t miss a thing.
I hope those of you who have been my faithful readers for so long will consider helping me launch my book into the world! On March 4th With Child: Encountering God Alongside Mothers in the Bible is going to hit the shelves. Will you join me in spreading the word?
