My Story To Be Published in Spring 2010
I had some great news recently, and I thought I would pass it along to you first!
This next spring, there will be a book released titled When God Spoke To Me. The book is published under the name of DavidPaul Doyle of “The Voice For Love.” He has had other books published, and you can click here to visit his website. The reason I’m sharing this is because the book is comprised of several stories by many authors. One of the stories in the book is written by yours truly! My story is titled “A Surrogate Sermon,” and it is an inspirational true story about a transformational experience I had when my stepfather (dad), Claude, was run over by a car in the late 1980s. No one has read this story yet…but perhaps some of you will buy the book and read it for yourselves, huh?
When I orginally submitted the story, I was told it would definitely be included, and, in fact, would be one of three used in the proposal to publishers. A couple of days ago, I learned that the original 101 stories had to be cut down by 30 stories!
In the email I received, DavidPaul wrote:
This is the e-mail you’ve been waiting for! I have finally submitted my book with your story in it to the publisher! Your story will be included in the book. You may have already thought this was a done deal, but it actually wasn’t. I originally had 101 stories for the book. But the publisher came back and said they only wanted the book to be 80,000 words, which meant I had to cut 30 stories from it. And let me tell you, it wasn’t an easy decision which ones to eliminate and which ones to keep. In fact, I had a team of six people and we all voted, and it still wasn’t easy!
So let me start off by saying, thank you! I’m so grateful for all the hard work that you put into providing such a fantastic story. You should feel proud that your life will be impacting so many people.
So, I am very happy to inform you that this will be available by spring. I’ll let you know as the release date draws near, but I expect you’ll be hearing a lot about the book from many other “inspirational” authors in the meantime. Just wanted to let my devoted blog readers hear the news first!!
