Monday: We had a wonderful visit with one of the original Seekers, Cara Lynn James, discussing the importance of setting.
Tuesday: We had a great post about building blog readership from guest Jennifer Slattery.
Wednesday: Ruthy Logan Herne was our blog hostess on Wednesday and she strolled in with coffee and a bunch of friends to talk about what it takes -- the "dos and don'ts"-- to be an author. Winners of e-book of choice from guest authors are Samantha and Sandy Smith. Winner of a copy of Ruthy's latest mystery from Guideposts "Just Over the Horizon" (from the top-selling Mysteries of Martha's Vineyard series) is Kathryn Barker!
Friday: Debby Giusti shared news about SUMMER OF SUSPENSE making the USA TODAY BESTSELLER LIST in a blog entitled, "The Making of a Bestseller." Debby and Ruthy were two of the 16 authors involved in the anthology. Debby gave a shout out to all the wonderful readers who ordered SUMMER OF SUSPENSE and pushed the anthology into the bestseller realm! She also hosted a drawing for a copy of AMISH SAFE HOUSE...and the winner is Lisa Sapp!
Monday: We will have guest Matt Mikalatos with us!
Wednesday: Winnie Griggs swapped spots with Debby Guisti, so she'll be bringing us her previously scheduled discussion on how to Elicit Emotion in your writing.
Friday: Pam Hillman will be posting.

I hope you all have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteIt is SO COOL that Debby, Ruthy and the others made the USA Today list! It says so much about Christian fiction still being alive, and also the gifts and talents of OUR authors to make it on a secular list. So happy for them.
ReplyDeleteSee you Monday!
Kathy B.
Great points, Kathy!
DeleteThanks, Kathy, for your kind words. It is encouraging to have a Christian anthology make the list. God is good!
DeleteBy the way, if anyone checked for winners right at midnight last night (Eastern time), then be sure to check again! We were still adding to the list at that time. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking, Missy!
DeleteHappy Saturday morning, Seekerville!
ReplyDeleteWe closed on our new house yesterday and are living out of suitcases until the moving van comes on Monday, but we're here! And we have internet!
If you've ever moved, you now what I'm doing today: cleaning! But first an hour working on my WIP.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
That is exciting, Jan. I know it is tough to move and try to get settled in. Good luck with that.
DeleteEnjoy your new house, Jan!
DeletePrayers for Monday. Move-in day is always stressful! :)
Happy Weekend. I'm excited to see I won an e-book of choice from one of Ruthy's guest authors. I have a busy weekend, mostly working at the book store. Today I work morning and evening shifts and in between going to my niece's birthday party. I will get a little down time tomorrow. Hope it is a good weekend for everyone.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the birthday party, Sandy!
DeleteHappy weekend!
