Just arrived: Promotional T-Shirt and Journal

I just received the first promotional product samples from the Journey Supplies store. I am excited! I love the T-Shirt. There are many shirts and products with key quotes from the book. The journal will be handy! It has 160 pages of 60 lb book-weight acid free ruled paper to take study notes or simply to journal your thoughts each day.

PROJECT UPDATE:
I am finishing my edit of chapter five and just received my editors first pass on chapter three. The process of editing with a pro is so rewarding as I see the words come off the page in a way that communicates succinctly what I am writing.

The additional graphics and call out boxes are being created in preparation for the final edit and submission to the interior design editor. How do you like the cover? I think it is amazing! Check out what Jeff DiMario interpreted from the cover!

I lost my voice last week so it looks like I won’t be starting the audio book until it fully heals. That is okay because my editor and I are doing first edits on each chapter before we start the final edit process which will solidify the complete book.

I have started to receive endorsements and am humbled to see that Exodus Of Our Lives, even in raw manuscript format, is already having an impact in the lives of others who have read it.

And the good news is, we are still on track in our timeline for a book release of late September.

As always, I am humbled by your support and for believing in this book project. My prayer is that Exodus of Our Lives will illuminate the love and magnificent wisdom of Jesus Christ as we navigate our lives.  God bless you all!

It Just got real! The Cover is done!

This is quite a journey and I am thankful for each of you who have helped this book come alive! I want to give a big shout out to my graphics editor, Stacy Edwards for interpreting what was in my mind into what you see here. The ISBN’s and barcodes have been purchased which are necessary for worldwide distribution. That makes it even more real!

I want to also update everyone on the process. I am deep in editing mode with my copy/content editor in Pennsylvania. She is amazing and is sharpening my thoughts as they will be placed in print. I am amazed at her editing process and the final edit. We are editing chapter by chapter and wow, I am blown away!

I also had a great conversation with my Interior design and layout editor in Texas about the book and look forward to hiring her in the near future. She is also a follower of Jesus and I know she, as well as everyone involved in this book creation process, will bring blessing to the final product.

I received a wonderful endorsement from the president of a new upcoming ministry, LARK Global Ministries (Loving Acts of Random Kindness) based here in central Florida. His endorsement means a lot to me!

And soon, possibly next week, I expect to start the narration on the audiobook in my studio, the JamminStation. This will be an exciting as the written word becomes spoken word.

I could not have done this without all of you! Thank you for the blessings and encouragement you have provided. My prayer is that this book will be helpful in your journey as well as the journeys of countless others as we all seek Jesus in our lives as our guide.

God bless each of you!
