Hey friends, I have the pleasure of introducing writer extraordinaire, Catherine West today! I’ve known Cathy for awhile now (she’s become a great friend) and I’ve read her work.

She recently released a new novel, The Bridge of Faith (it’s getting some serious rave reviews) and she also recently signed a book deal with Harper Collins! Watching this woman’s dream come true has been nothing short of inspiring. Without further ado,...

E-Book Sales, Y’All!
Since this is the story that started my career as an author, it will forever and always hold a special place in my heart. I wrote it after spending an entire summer binge-reading craft books. I brought it to the very first writing conference I went to (ACFW in Denver, Colorado) and nervously pitched it to an agent and an editor–both of whom would become my agent and my editor.
It’s the first story that went through the editing pr...

Cover Reveal!
A little over two years ago, I sat down and started writing this story. It was unlike anything else I’d ever written. I was between contracts, see. Without a deadline, and I had this enticing idea for a young adult trilogy. I didn’t plan on sharing it. I was writing it for fun. For me. For the heck of it. And let me tell you, that story brought my creativity to life.
Don’t get me wrong.
I love writing the stories I’ve published. And Lord willing, I will continue to put them out there for as l...
