One of the things that has always impressed me about the writing community is the willingness of writers to help others in need. Rather than seeing fellow authors as competitors, members of this writing community are happy to lift each other, to support, to give advice, to give comfort, and when needed, to pray.
Today, we at Seekerville are blessed to be able to help a fellow writer. Anna Zogg has a new book that released yesterday as part of the Love Inspired Historical limited release program. Normally, a book release day is a joyous occasion, but sadly, rather than celebrating, Anna is busy caring for her husband as he wages a battle against cancer.
Earlier this week, Anna posted an update on Facebook about her husband's transition to hospice that ended with this:
Anyone who knows John knows he is full of life, laughter and has a unique perspective that cancer cannot extinguish. Most importantly, though, is his eye is fixed on "the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14).
Since Anna doesn't have time to promote her book, we want to do it for her. We also want to ask you to join us in prayer for Anna and her family as they work through this incredibly difficult time.
A woman seeking a new future.
A cowboy with a shadowed past.
Untamed Wyoming is nothing like polished, restrictive Chicago—that’s why Ellie Marshall likes it. On her uncle’s ranch, she’s free. Free to practice her calling in medicine. Free to finally connect with her uncle. Free to explore her feelings for mysterious cowboy Rhett Callaway. In this strange place, Rhett is her constant—the one she trusts to help and protect her…especially when sinister machinations on the ranch come to light. But will Rhett’s murky past drive him away just when Ellie needs him most?
Remember what I said about how writers love to help?
The amazing Shannon Redmon created a book trailer to support Anna's book.
Anna and several of the Seekers have offered to give away copies of Anna's book, so if you would like a chance to read Frontier Secrets, be sure to let us know in the comments (and specify if you prefer print or ebook)
There are so many things we can chat about today.
Are you happy that Love Inspired is doing some historicals again? I know so many readers were disappointed when the line closed.
Let's talk about the books you love to read.
Have you been the recipient of help within the writing community?
And finally, please join us in prayer for Anna and her husband in this difficult time.
