ReplyDeleteAnd Janet, I love seeing you in print again! GO YOU!!!!
And huge thanks to all of you who've bought "At Home in Wishing Bridge"... I can't thank you enough for supporting authors and great inspirational fiction. You are the best.
Ruthy, thanks for letting me know! I've been moving too fast these day. Oh, I'm thrilled. Thanks to my wonderful readers for making this happen!!!
DeleteCongratulations to the winners and to everyone with the wonderful new releases! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteYayyyy! I’m so excited I won Missy’s book! I’m ready for a Christmas book! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone! So many good books coming out and doing well. ❤️
Congratulations to the winners! Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Debby. I have the book and will read it as soon as I finish Tina's and before I read Jill Kemerer's. Love "Love Inspired," I can buy batches of them at a time and still not strain the family budget, besides the fact that they are at Walmart and I'm 30 miles from a Christian book store.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good week ahead.
This weekend I'll be working on submitting my second novel to Pelican, the sequel to the Oregon Trail story, and fine-tuning my Genesis story for a couple of agents.
It's raining here, again, so probably won't be able to work outside. Nervous about rolling that over another week--but some of our mountain towns have already had flurries, so I'll take what I get.

Thank you, Kathy! Your support means so much to all of us!
DeleteKathy, I love your dedication! GO YOU!!!!
DeleteAnd we always have some outdoor chore that doesn't get done before the snow flies...
And no one has died, darling. :)
Congratulations Debby.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners. I am excited to win Misty's Christmas book.
Today will be super busy. I learned last night that I need to substitute in the 4 and 5 year old Sunday School Class. I am also in Children's church ages 2-5 and then tomorrow night I teach the 3 and 4 year olds in Master Clubs. It will be a full day of preparing visuals and crafts. Praying the Vertigo will let up for today and tomorrow so I can get everything done.
It's a beautiful day and the sun is shining.
Wilani, praying your Vertigo won't be a problem so you can enjoy working with those precious kiddos. Those young ages are such fun - - if only we had their energy!
DeleteHugs, Patti Jo
Thanks, sweet Wilani!
DeleteHappy Weekend, Seekerville!
ReplyDeleteIn my Georgia neighborhood today we're having a beautiful, Autumn day---my favorite kind of weather! I wish I could share this sunshine with everyone.
Congrats to all the winners!
Congrats to the Authors with newly-released books and re-released books---SO special! :)
I am beyond THRILLED to win Ruthy's 2nd WISHING BRIDGE book - - I startled my cat (sitting beside my computer) when I squealed!! ;) Thank you sooo much - - I know I'll LOVE this story (as I love ALL of Ruthy's books)!
Hope everyone has a blessed, wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Patti Jo

DeleteWhat's Your
ReplyDeleteStory..
and are you sticking
with it?
One of the biggest hurdles of this business is maintaining the self-discipline to just keep on keepin' on...

Continued prayers for all those suffering from Michael! How tragic for Mexico Beach and Port St Joe and Panama City Beach...places we love to vacation with the family.
ReplyDeleteAs was mentioned, the storm passed through GA and brought cool temps. Love the crisp, fall air!
Congrats to all winners and to the authors with new releases! Lots of fun reading ahead!
Congratulations to all of the winners. Thanks for another great week at Seekerville.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Debby on the bestseller list!
ReplyDeleteWe had snow today. A little too early, but it won't last. We are going back to nice fall weather later in the week. I can't wait. Looks like it will be beautiful weather for State Cross Country which is held here in my town on Friday. I will be cheering on our high school girls' and boys' teams.
