Way back in my previous
existence...before I claimed Messiah's atonement, I was already a writer. Like
most who do more than dabble, long before God called me to write from Him, I'd
filled up a lot of spiral notebooks with my musings.
Having
discovered early on that I usually sound better on paper than I do in person, I
found myself writing my feelings. This was eons before I discovered that
fiction would give me a canvas where feelings could not only be explored, but
where the characters feelings helped the reader understand the depth of their
sorrow as well and the height of their joy.
Now that
three Naomi fictions have been released, I must admit that when I read these
gripping tales, I find myself mesmerized by the stories woven layer upon loving
layer, and intertwined with more feelings than even I could have imaged! I
would love to take credit for being that good a writer, but the truth is, and I
image when some of you read this, you'll think I'm daft, but nevertheless, the
truth is that Naomi told me her story. I can take credit for becoming a sort of
scribe for her while fulfilling the call God placed upon my heart when I began
to write this six book saga in 2007.
To
the question at hand…Have you ever wonder what if? As I have? If you
have, you'll understand why after two Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing
Books, which I had to rely upon my publisher to market, I became an Indie
Author and with the help of some dear Christian Indie Author friends, published
Beginning Anew: The Naomi Chronicles, Book One myself! Thinking of all I had to
do, and how much I had to trust God to see me through, a big wow must follow that last sentence, so "WOW!"
But
there's another what if? I have to share with you. What if after all those blessings,
and lots of five star reviews, the book wasn't well you know...selling? Yes,
everything belongs to God, and He called me to and blessed this work. Yet I
kept asking myself, if I
hadn't done something? But what more could I do?
Aware that many who haven't read a new authors work will buy it if it's discounted, the first book in The Naomi Chronicles, is .99 cents until June 17th on Smashwords and is available in all e-book formats! https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/401017
