Yes, the blog has been a bit neglected. But remember--I update constantly on Facebook and Twitter, so if you're not following me there, hop on over and join up!

Just a few quick updates:

My fifth novel, The Heart of Memory, is officially released. Through May 1 it is free for all ebook readers (in the US and Kobo Canada, and someone told me Amazon UK has it for super cheap). If you miss this deal, don't despair--it'll be $2.99 for the two weeks after that, and then $4.99 for the two weeks after that, so you can still get it for at least half price through the end of May!

Our second children's book, That's When I Talk to God, is also in stores and getting great reviews from the preschool set and their parents. This is a great bedtime book (and daytime book, and kill-some-time book, and "Mom, I'm bored" book...) and we hope you'll give it a shot.

On May 5th at 2pm EST I'll be on Your Family Live! talking about The Problem With Prayer. I'll be joined by Joni Eareckson Tada, Ginny Owens, and Becky Taribassi. My bit will focus on teaching your kids to pray, a la our kids' book. If you miss the broadcast you can check it out on these other carriers and I think Your Family Live! will have it archived, too. When they do I'll link to it.

Speaking of Facebook (well, I was a minute ago, anyway) I'm officially severing my personal and work 'profiles' there by sending all my non-personal friends over to my group page. Or rather, asking y'all to move yourselves, since I can't join you to the group myself! Activity has picked up there a lot and I'm having a great time getting to know everyone better and hearing what y'all have to say about the books and whatever else is going on in the world.

Alrighty, enough blogging--back to the line edits for Composing Amelia and the eight (yes, you read that right, though some are kids books!) proposals I'm working on. An author's work is never done! Hope you all enjoy the fruit of it. :)
