This is a great day! I'm launching my new website and setting out on a cross country adventure!
I've got a book that's screaming at me to be written, but first I've got to see all the places my characters will visit. So, today I'm off. I'll be traveling from Oregon to Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, and then I'll head down to Georgia and Florida, travel across Mississippi, Lousiana, Texas and New Mexico and then cut through Arizona and finally head north into California and then home to Oregon. There's so much to see it boggles the mind.
I'm counting on meeting lots of fascinating people and I'll be handing out free copies of books from the Queensland Chronicles. I can't wait to discover this country. I know I'll find treasures that will fit perfectly with my story and that seeing the country will stir up all kinds of story ideas. If you know of a place I ought to visit let me know. I'll do my best to get there.
And here's the most exciting news: In honor of the trip, I'm running a contest!
To enter the contest, just post a comment on my blog between now and October 26th and you'll automatically be entered into a drawing.
I'll be giving away a copy of my most recent book, When the Storm Breaks, and a mug with one of my favorite quotes on it. Want to know what the quote is? You'll just have to wait until 27th:)
I'll post the name of the winner, as well as my favorite quote, then.
Bye for now. As I travel I'll continue to visit here and keep you updated on my latest adventures. It ought to be fun.

Launching two new ventures on the same day -- a road trip and a website. How exciting. It is a great day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you encounter the Lord in many places and faces as you travel and explore. And I pray you are strengthened physically, broadened mentally, encouraged emotionally and uplifted spiritually at every turn along the way.

ReplyDeleteHey, sis, who would have thought? Not me as I remember the two of us standing together at the kitchen sink with our hands in the water and singing our favorite songs. I'm so excited for you and know that this is a whole new journey for you; not just in the physical sense, but in a spiritual sense as well. I pray you see God through every mile you travel.

ReplyDeleteI love your web site & plan on buying the first book in your Queensland series, it sounds great!
ReplyDeleteYou taught a class at the Oregon Christian Writer's conference that I attended in late July & I so enjoyed it. Based on your teaching and personality, I'm guessing I'll enjoy your books, too.
Blessings on your journey, I pray it will stir up all sorts of wonderful visions of new places and plots...for this book and many more to come.
Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteYour websit is gorgeous! I love the colors you chose and your background photo -- just beautiful. Thank you for including the section for new writers. I've ordered a couple of the books you recommended and plan to get busy reading and writing more :) I pray God will encourage, strengthen, and bless you as you travel. Take care, Love in Christ, Kathy
