Hello to all!

Did you survive the snow and/or ice? Our family made it through four days without electricity during the icestorm that struck Gallipolis. When the heat finally did come on, it was hard to break the kids of getting their food and eating it around the kerosene heater. Our family room became a fort made from blankets - some fun in the middle of the disaster. Outside it sounded like an artillery range with all of the trees breaking under the weight of the ice. Lots of cleanup, but as ever we are thankful that the Lord saw us through the tough times. I pray that you have a lot to be thankful for as well.

THE WAY HOME - Hopefully, you all have your copy of the book by now. I have heard from many of you, and I thank you for your wonderful comments. You are a great source of encouragement for me! How many of you thought you had it figured out, and then something would change your mind? It was kind of fun, wasn't it?

If you would like to see the book in a bookstore near you, be sure to request it. The books should start appearing this month in those places. Let me know where they pop up.

Also, book signings - we are working on some in Gallipolis, Pataskala, and Baltimore. Be sure to give the email address at the bottom of this page to anyone interested in setting up something like this.

Book II - COME TO ME - Remember Eryka from Book I? She is now the main character in this suspense story. The storms of life are raging in the story and in the hymn the book is based upon - Stand By Me. Another character from Book I makes a surprise appearance in this one. I hope you'll join Eryka in this Tennessee adventure to discover what has really happened with her missing boss. Did he just leave with no word to start a new life as it appears? If not, then where is he and why?

Chapter 24 is calling me now during this brief quiet period. As always, I love to hear from you, whether it's about surviving the storm, book comments or signings, or just to say 'hi'. Visit my website, the authorsden, and the publishamerica site soon to add your reviews. You can even review the book on Barnes and Noble.com and Amazon.com! I hope to add the children's book series and COME TO ME to my sites very soon as well.

In His Love and Joy,
Paula
