Just a quick post to express my thanks for something before I completely forget it...I'm thankful my memory isn't TOTALLY gone!
I promised to post the Having Hope cover blurb. Here it is. Click on it to enlarge and read it. When I read the blurb, I thought "Wow! Excellent blurb. It makes me want to read this book. Whoever wrote it actually read the book and hit the important points perfectly." I eagerly showed it to all who would take a minute to look and listen.
The following day, I pulled up the submission I sent with the manuscript. (Authors are requested to send in a suggestion for the back cover blurb.) The blurb I sent in for Finding Faith was pathethic! I was relieved when someone in marketing wrote a better one for me.
Anyway, I pulled up my blurb for Having Hope, hoping to compare the two and learn how I could improve my craft. To my surprise, as I read what I submitted, I realized that I WAS THE ONE WHO WROTE THE BACK COVER BLURB! Only two words were changed! Apparently the blurb-writer not only read the book, but actually wrote the book!
I must've written it in a moment of inspiration or amnesia or something...Who knew? I guess I'd better stop bragging about what a great blurb it is and start working on memory-building skills. You just have to laugh!

Sistah, give yourself the credit! You are an excellent writer!
Can't wait for the book to come out....I'm already hyping it to those who I know have read Faith.

Um, Terri, you know Thanksgiving was a long time ago, right? Where's a new post? Hmmmmm?
Oh WOW!
Hi! I love Finding Faith. It's the only LDS book I've read and I LOVE it! I am excited to read the next book!
Peace!
