I so understand writing without the duress of the "no nos" which is when I wrote TFD and CML. Congrats for you, dear writing friend!!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405728521414052211.post-12054584411850020982011-03-08T11:55:03.064-08:002011-03-08T11:55:03.064-08:00Your book is blessing enough, Laura. Based on all ...Your book is blessing enough, Laura. Based on all I know about Christian publishing I'm sure there is quite a story behind it. I get so excited when I read books that defy the odds.<br /><br />Oh, and I just got news that my first book will be coming out this year with Whitefire Publishing. It's a medieval story some edgy material and a literary feel. I wrote it before I knew all the "no nos", so I'm incredibly excited that it's found a home :)Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405728521414052211.post-25459591103807956602011-03-08T08:16:04.765-08:002011-03-08T08:16:04.765-08:00Dina, Wish I could wake up to such wonderful words...Dina, Wish I could wake up to such wonderful words every morning:) Bless you (and Roseanna) for a great post and comments. It really helps sharing book ideas - I've heard nothing but great things about Roseanna's and Lisa's writing, too. Patti's is excellent and I look forward to her upcoming one with Bethany House this fall. Haven't read Tosca yet but know it's well worth savoring simply because of the subject matter.<br /><br />I'm so glad you're enjoying Morrow's story. There's a story in that story:) I'll just say that it made my pub very nervous to have such a hero. But I believe the Lord gifts us with ideas and since I don't follow CBA formulas, I just wrote my heart out. They've steered me in a completely new direction for this next series:) <br /><br />We are kindred spirits. My great-grandfather was Cherokee - his name was Robie Bear which was changed to Barr. I had to chuckle about the syllable conundrum:) Bless you for such an uplifting post!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405728521414052211.post-17865213846674563842011-03-08T05:06:55.581-08:002011-03-08T05:06:55.581-08:00Yeah, what happened to the Indian craze? Maybe whe...Yeah, what happened to the Indian craze? Maybe when we had to start calling them Native Americans we couldn't handle all the syllables. Seriously, my mom and I used to be in the club for Serenade/Serenetta -- the old version of Steeple Hill -- and there were lots of stories with frontiersmen and Indians. I'm one-sixteenth Indian, which means my beloved great-grandfather who I spent a lot of time with, was a "half-breed" as well.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405728521414052211.post-75472768678903138022011-03-08T04:38:22.941-08:002011-03-08T04:38:22.941-08:00Yet again, seriously honored to be on this list. I...Yet again, seriously honored to be on this list. I have Patti's book on my shelf right now, read Havah nearly two years ago, and seriously regret letting another of my reviewers snatch Laura's book from my fingers. I've heard nothing but great things about it! Didn't realize it had a half-breed Indian in it though. Be still me heart--it takes me back to my teen years, when Indian stories were all the rage in CBA, and I couldn't get enough of them!Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.com
