I hope to see many of you at these various events.
May I humbly ask for some prayer? This schedule would be tough on an Olympian, and I'm still recovering from some serious health issues. I KNOW it looks crazy. All I can say is that when we began planning this west coast book store, God continued to impress on my heart that I should be part of it again. So I know I can trust Him to protect me. But I do value your prayers!
Thank you so much!
Huge blessings to you, in the name of our Lord who is our Shepherd, our Healer, our Sustainer, and our mighty Deliverer!
His, Sharon Hinck

Wow, Sharon, that is a CRAZY schedule! YIPE. I'll be praying for not only your stamina, but your ability to THRIVE on each and every stop.
Um, Wayne,
you DO realize that you are also doing most of those events, right?
The bulk of this is the west coast tour. :-)
Yes - please pray.
Oh you are all nuts, every last one of you.
I am praying right now that the burdens will be split nine ways and the joy be multiplied by that number as well.
After all, that's really how many of you are undertaking this insanity. And, it's the only way that this is going to work, Nine Authors go out, Nine Authors come home.
;)
Please read my first two chapters:

Stay healthy and happy, and keep your eyes on HIM! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Stepping into Sunlight. It was excellent. I hosted a giveaway for my copy on my blog here.

You've got my prayers!! May He multiply the rest at each rest-stop! Mucho blessings!
Sharon,
I will be praying for you and the whole gang--looking forward to seeing you on the 10th!
Blessings,
Merrie
Wow! I'll be praying for you and hope to see you at the tour!
Wow. That is a crazy schedule. I hope all of you on the tour will stay healthy and energized!
I really enjoyed your Sword of Lyric series. I was a bit skeptical of the whole sword-weilding-mom thing since I was afraid of a girl-power book. I was pleasantly surprised and have re-read all three several times. God bless!
Sharon,
Congratulations on winning the ACFW Speculative Fiction Book of the Year!!!! You rock!!
long distance hugs,
Merrie
Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and most of all for your prayers as we head out on this book tour.
