Hey everyone! I've got a prayer request and a praise for you...Remember Robert Liparulo, the writer of Comes A Horsemen? We've been chatting a bit over e-mails and he has given me the name and address of a Young Adult editor at Nelson Publishing to send my book proposal to. For my non-writing friends, a proposal is a package which includes a synopsis of the book, a history of the author, sample chapters, and the marketing potential.
I'm very excited because Nelson Publishing is almost impossible to get into. They are a huge Christian publishing firm and only take proposals through recommendations.
I'll be busy for the next few days...writing a chapter by chapter synopsis and putting the proposal together; so please forgive me if I seem a bit distant from the blogosphere.
Please pray for me to get it perfect. If this is where and when God wants it, it'll happen. If not, it will be an awesome learning experience. All in His time.
Have a happy new year everyone!
Oh, a few friends and I are starting a small group Bible study blog on January 1st. We'll be going through the New Testament this year and you are very welcome to join in and comment. Seek and Ye Shall Find is the name. My posts will be on Thursday. I'll tell more about it later and put in a permanent link soon.

Yay!, M.C. That's great. Hello! I'm a friend of Bonnie's. She'll vouch for me. I write some YA and MG stuff also, along with my friend Dana. I'm adding you to my blogroll because I liked the description of your book at Miss Snark's and you're a friend of Bonnie's. I write mostly humor, with some more serious stuff thrown in. Come by my blog and say hello. Pleased to meet you. I'm Mindy.
