Vote on the cover images!


Dear Reader,

Book 4, Winter with the Brennans, is ready for beta readers! I would be happy for a couple more beta readers, so reply if you're interested. I would need you to read the book and give me your feedback on it by February 20th, so fast readers only! 😊 Why the deadline so soon? Well, because I want to have the book ready for a homeschool convention we hope to attend in April. More details will come on that later!

Now, for the fun part - cover image voting! I have three images, A, B, and C. Please go to this quick poll to vote. If you can't access the poll for some reason, just reply with A, B, or C! (Or "none", if you think I should go back to the drawing board.)

And, here's the "back cover blurb" for Book 4:

This winter is filled with unexpected events. You’ll learn to trust God each day with the Brennans when Mom receives a sobering diagnosis. While at home, they build relationships, working and playing together. But there are also times away from home, including Bible School, the homeschool conference, and a family gathering. You’ll read about the big snowstorm, groan along with Matthias’ icy driveway injury, and laugh as the family and some friends play Confusion. The end of the book brings a long-anticipated surprise. There’s lots of exciting happenings in this book, along with encouragement to live for God and have a good attitude, so come along!

Also, in the last email I asked for responses on how many times you've moved. Our winner is Regina, who has moved 6 times! The prize is my big bundle of Bible resources. Congratulations, Regina!

It was great to hear from everyone. One respondent is nearly 50 but has only moved once, when she got married. Another is slightly over 30 and has moved 15 times. For some reason, the numbers 6 and 9 seemed to be popular numbers of moves.

I can't wait to see what the results of the cover picture poll will be! And don't forget to reply if you're interested in reading a test copy of the book!

P.S. I won't be sending a reminder email to vote for the cover pictures, so do it now before you forget! Here's the link again, or you can just reply to the email! https://forms.gle/KSRmAAmeD6uGL9qc7​

I'm coming into your inbox with a different type of email than normal, and one that's on a controversial topic,Reader. Artificial intelligence. Specifically, AI chatbots/assistants like ChatGPT that you can have a conversation with and that can write things for you. It seems like everyone is using AI chatbots to write these days, and I don't like it. I want to hear what people have to say, not robots. If you agree with me, read on.
