About Hope Gibbs:
“I did get accepted to three hybrid presses, but I decided not to do that. I wanted to go more. I wanted to do traditional. Small press is considered traditional, even though it’s still on a smaller scale. But I know several authors who’ve done hybrid and they love it. But for me, for self publishing, because I was so new at this, I didn’t think I had the skill set. And so I was really hoping to get You know, a traditional publishing deal.” (09:06)
“I didn’t really understand what Kindle unlimited was. I was like, Oh, I’m it’s being read for free. I don’t get royalties. You do get royalties. You get bonuses from Amazon. Amazon is the one who’s letting people read for free for the subscription. And I, if I went most, almost all of my reviews, I think are because of that.” (14:41)
“My book has sold very well. It’s been in my publisher’s top 10 or it was number 1 the entire year that it’s been out. And it was the most read on Kindle unlimited all year. So, I’ve been very fortunate with that, but I will say with a small press, I’m probably breaking even. So for right now, it’s, and people need to understand that it does take an investment. And this is my first book and hopefully it will not be my last.” (20:05)
Hope Gibbs grew up in rural Scottsville, Kentucky. As the daughter of an English teacher, she was raised to value the importance of good storytelling from an early age. Today, she’s an avid reader of women’s fiction. Drawn to multi-generational family sagas, relationship issues, and the complexities of being a woman, she translates those themes into her writing.
She lives in Brentwood, Tennessee, with her husband and her persnickety Shih Tzu, Harley, and is the mother of five. In her downtime, she loves playing tennis, singing karaoke, and curling up on her favorite chair with a book.
Hope has a B.A. from Western Kentucky University. She is a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, the Women’s National Book Association, a tour guide for Bookish Road Trip, and the co-host of the Authors Talking Bookish Podcast.
Where the Grass Grows Blue is her debut novel, which has been named to the 2023 Short List for the Chatelaine Book Awards for Romantic Fiction, winner of the 2023 BookFest Awards for both Contemporary Romance and Small Town Romance, winner of the 2023 Best Book Awards for Romantic Fiction, winner of the 2023 American Writing Awards for Romantic Fiction, winner of the 2023 Firebird Book Awards for Best New Fiction, Best Romance, and Best Beach Read, a finalist for Best Debut Fiction in the 2023 American Writing Awards, a finalist for Best New Fiction in the 2023 International Book Awards, and a finalist for Best New Fiction in the 2023 American Fiction Awards.

About Stacie Bowles:
“And this book kind of a bold statement, but I would say of everything I’ve done in my life, family, church, everything my work, this is probably my life’s work. Honestly. And that was not something that I would take lightly. I wanted somebody that was trustworthy, somebody that had a good reputation and literally could hold my hand and show me how to do this and get the book out there.” (04:55)
“I was so excited for a one star review because it means I reached someone that doesn’t believe the way I believe and when the rapture happens, they’ve got the message and that’s who this book is for.” (11:03)
“I would definitely go with someone like you guys. I’m so grateful I didn’t try to self-publish. I would’ve made all the mistakes. I mean, you guys have the experience. That’s why I came to you. If your book’s important, go to someone who knows what they’re doing.” (13:28)
Stacie Bowles is a Texas-based author and devoted Christian with a passion for evangelism that has defined much of her life’s work. Having attended the prestigious Reinhard Bonnke School of Evangelism in 2016, Stacie has dedicated herself to spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ. Guided by the Holy Spirit and the wisdom imparted by various pastors, she believes that her spiritual education stands as her most significant life accomplishment.
Stacie is the author of For a Second Chance, Turn the Page, a ground-breaking book that addresses understanding the prophetic narrative surrounding the end times. The book urges Christians to prepare spiritually and educationally for the loved ones who might be left behind. With years of in-depth bible study to back her, Stacie sees this work as especially timely given her conviction that we are nearing the prophetic age described in the scriptures.

About Dawn Nelson:
“Whatever it is that you’re struggling with or you know what really got you off the path today. It’s just about having a safe place to land and have somebody here. If it’s beyond that, there’s always psychotherapy. There’s always other forms of help. But for most people, if they simply avoid getting in their heads, reach out to a friend, and feel heard.” (07:01)
“First of all, I think that when someone fails at something, there are many moving parts. So it’s about learning a brand new area, and we have to give ourselves some credit for risking to go and put ourselves in a new arena, right? It’s all about learning.” (10:05)
“Usually when someone’s in their own way, one of the things that I’m going to pick up on is a level of frustration. And a lot of times its also, that they have kind of been, I don’t know another word to use, but isolating.” (19:34)
For 25 years Dawn has been helping individuals live life by design rather than by default. There are certainly plenty of areas in life where we have little control; her work focuses on what you can do and how positive action impacts your life in meaningful ways. She helps you look at where you are now and where you want to be while encouraging you to take the next step forward.
Through meaningful dialogue and purposeful action, Dawn helps you move forward one step at a time arriving at the destination of your choice. Coaching is positive, exciting, and action-driven. She helps you by raising your level of awareness, encouraging your next steps, and providing assistance and support. This commonly results in you overcoming obstacles and achieving more than you ever thought possible.
