Article in the news

I am most grateful to Adam Louis a reporter with the Torrington Telegram for writing a very nice article about my new book "Living Waters Volume II: A Message of Hope"  As an author, I am most appreciative of any publicity that my books get, because in today's market the majority of authors have to do their own marketing.  I feel my first book "Living Waters: Writings from the Heart of a Christian" and my new one are books that I was called to write and so getting them into the hands of many readers is also a calling from God.  You have probably heard many times in sermons that we need to be God's hands, feet, voice, etc. so that is why I am out marketing and doing what I feel God has called me to do.  It all takes time and effort but then anything we do, and do well,  takes our time and effort.  This has been an exciting time in my life and as you know life has many surprises.  I have been married fifty six years and during most of those years I was a stay at home mother raising our six children.  I worked as a secretary the first nine months of our marriage and then later worked in the State Senate as a Secretary.  My husband retired when our youngest daughter was still in high school and we settled into retired life.  However, that was also when I began to work on getting my writings published and the result has been two books that I know will help many as they read the messages that helped me in my life's journey.  Please be open to whatever you are called to do ,for it may surprise you what turn in the road God has prepared for you!  Have a great week.

New book just published!

My second book has just come on the market and it is titled: "Living Waters Volume II: A Message of Hope."  It follows my book "Living Waters: Writings from the Heart of a Christian"  So far the feedback I have received has been: "I really like the book, I like this one better than the first one, I love the cover and design, etc."  To me, it is hard to say which book I like better for that would be like saying that I liked one of my children better than another one.  Writing a book can be compared to birth as you struggle through some pain before it arrives.  My two books can be compared to one's children in the respect that they are alike in some ways, yet each has its own personality and content.  Volume II will give you hope for whatever you are going through and as you read how the Lord helped me through many struggles you will have the faith to believe he will do the same for you!  God loves us all so very much that it is almost too hard to comprehend, yet he wants us to have that deep abiding love in our awarenss so we can count on it to see us through everything.  I know you will enjoy and gain much from Volume II and also the first book of Living Waters if you haven't already read it. You can e-mail me at: livingwatersauthor@gmail.com or look it up on Amazon.com. May the Lord richly bless you!
