So the site has been live for a little over a week, the book has been available on multiple platforms, and the Grand Adventure has begun.

It has been very gratifying to me to get the positive feedback the book has been receiving. Some of the words I was hoping people would get from it have been showing up in quick reviews: “hope,” “redemption,” “moving.” Writing a novel is an intensely personal experience, in that you’re inviting other people to take a glimpse at that part of your soul that you choose to put on paper. So it is with a sense of relief and deep humility that I say “Thank you” to everybody who has taken that leap with me so far.

As far as sales progress, well . . . let’s just say that we’re no threat to “The Shack” just yet. The entire marketing strategy for this venture has been through word of mouth, and the modern, digital equivalent of that: social media. So it’s taking time to develop that “buzz,” as they say in the business–I can live with that. God will do with this what He wants to, in His time, and for His purposes.

In the meantime, if you’ve read it and would like to share with your friends, I would really appreciate it; if you’ve intended to read it, and just haven’t (it is still pretty early for a Christmas story, the Arctic Typhoon notwithstanding), great–it’ll be here when you’re ready.

And if there’s anything I can do to answer your questions about the story, my writing process, your own writing process, or my understanding of God and Faith, just drop me a line–I’d love to talk.

And, once again, a hearty “Thank you” for all the support and encouragement. God Bless!
