Some Fun Book Updates
My latest novel, The Promise (Book 2 in the Restoration series) has been out about 6 
weeks now. It’s doing very well, and the reviews for the most part have been extremely encouraging. That’s always a concern for a second book in a series, especially when the first book (The Dance) did so well. Will the readers like the next book? Will they be disappointed? Will they want to read Book 3?
Here are some of the highlights over the last 6 weeks:
A 6-page spread in the October Issue of Book Fun Magazine, which now has a circulation of 250,000 readers. It’s me interviewing my co-author Gary Smalley. All kinds of behind-the-scenes stuff. Click Here and go to pg 42.
Here’s a link to one of the best and most thorough reviews on The Promise I’ve read since it’s release. If you’ve been curious about the book, check this review by Lynda Schab with BookReporter.com. http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/the-promise-the-restoration-series-book-2
In the 2nd week of October, my novel Remembering Christmas reached #1 on Amazon’s Christmas bestseller list, beating out some serious competitors. Here’s a screenshot I took of the moment.
This was kind of cool. I received a copy of the Dutch edition of Book 1 in the Restoration series, which we called “The Dance.” I’m so grateful when my books are picked up by a foreign publisher. But it’s odd to open the cover and not be able to read a single word. Here’s a pic of “De Dans” next to it.
What Am I Working on Now?
Believe it or not, I’ve just finished the edits for Book #3 of this series with Gary. We’re calling it The Desire, and it features Jim and Marilyn’s daughter, Michele, and her husband Allan. As well as introducing a new main character, Christina, a young woman in a crisis pregnancy.
I’ve actually started the 4th book in the series, tentatively called The Prodigal. Today, I’ll be working on Chapter 5.
Oh…and this just in…I learned 2 days ago that my wife and I are going to be grandparents again. My daughter is expecting her 2nd baby, due this summer!
