Howdy...I'm new y'all!

[ceek]

Greetings there! What a wonderful resource you all seem to be. Thank you for your presence on the web in adavance. Wow. Not sure how much I am expected to disclose here. I'm a long-time hobby writer, recently married (in '03) to Jenny, and now the proud daddy of a new 3 month old baby girl, Eva. Somewhere along the line (last fall) a Christian publisher took me seriously (ie had MAJOR faith in me and went out on a limb!) and low and behold I have new book that was just sent in to the senior editor today for release next year. What an joy! My head is still spinning. The Lord's sense of humor truly makes me laugh. Anyways, I'm really eager to learn more as I'm a newbie to all this, and kinda' flying by the seat of my pants. Really appreciate all your input and help and prayers, etc. Blessings on anyone reading this crazy little post! !thumbsup!

Dr. Rita: The publisher is Tsaba House out of California. They're distributed by Faith Works, recently aquired by STL. I have been so blessed to be with them; I couldn't speak more highly of the way I've been treated and cared for. The contract was a blessing (and not a curse, as I've heard a few horror stories), and I feel as if I've joined a tightly knit family, not a company (though they certainly are professional).
