Dianne's comments from the BOOKS THAT INSPIRE group.

I recently read Jerry Jenkins book, Writing for the Soul. I felt inspired by learning more about his path to notoriety as an author. He started writing as a teenager and spent years as a sports writer, did some ghostwriting, and wrote and published over 100 books before he was tapped to collaborate with Tim LaHaye for the Left Behind Series. He also gave excellent advice to writers. I recommend it to anyone who wants to write, whether you write secular or belief based books.

Hi everyone,

I'm so glad to be invited into this group. My first published novella, Christian fiction, "Rebekah Redeemed" was released this past week and I had my first book signing. We had a small group, but I sold 9 books. It felt like my whole life had been experienced for that moment. It's up on awoc.com (the publisher's website) as well as Barnes & Nobel and Amazon.com.

The story is of a young girl who must suffer through being treated as a slave in her relatives homes and "The Tainted Mirror: An Anthology" This book includes my story "Second Chances."

I have several other stories, articles, and books in the works and am a ghostwriter. I've ghostwritten 10 books in the past three years.

I'm eager to get to know you all.
