Ways to help...easy as 1, 2, 3
I have heard from so many people in the past week. Your comments, feedback, and words are an encouragement to me and my entire family. Some continue to say, "If there is anything I can do to help, let me know." This is where I struggle. There are things people can do to help but it's difficult to ask without sounding too bold or self-promoting. Yet on the other hand, if I don't self-promote and share ways you can help me, then my books won't reach as many people as they can.
So today I share ways you can help me - would you share Where's Heidi? One Sister's Journey and When the Waves Subside: There is Hope with your circle of family, friends, colleagues, and people? I appreciate your consideration of this.
Can you answer "yes" to any of the below questions?
*Have you read Where's Heidi? and/or When the Waves Subside?
*If you said yes - was there a Bible verse that stood out to you?
*Did you read a section and say, "Oh my gosh, I need to share this with ___"?
*Did you find yourself making notes in the sideline?
*Did you pray for the first time in years because of something you read?
*Was there a part of the book that touched you so deeply tears formed in your eyes?
*When you finished, did you have a renewed hope? Or maybe hope for the first time?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions - would you consider writing a review, tagging, posting, sharing, and recommending my book to your friends?
Please know this isn't an attempt to make a million dollars because anyone who is familiar with the publishing world knows there are less than 5% of authors who make a living off their writing.
Trust me, my hope and prayer is to share hope, healing, and the journey I traveled with others in hopes they can experience the same peace and joy.
My reach is minimal but with the help of all of you - we could touch lives of people across the the world when we work together. Here are a few ways you can help. Amazon
