His company is www.DogEaredDesign.com He's wonderful to work with and a precious Christian husband and father :) Definitely not the 'least expensive' you'll find, but those covers will be with my books forever, and I know that I know the covers have sold books! So glad to be a part of Stitches Thru Time.

I think I need to pick one genre for a while. ;)Linda Yezakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359372692625786864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-49277649815261329272015-02-07T19:31:21.408-05:002015-02-07T19:31:21.408-05:00Glad you like the covers!

And I love how God ...All these answers are so good! And I love how God has us 'punch' different aspects of His character and our walks with Him in our writing! I AM writing three genres now :) Howard published VOW last March - historical romance and I'm continuing that saga with 9 novels planned at this time taking the series from 1832 to 1950 :)<br /><br />Then I heard God say, go back to the beginning last year, late summer. Back in the mid-80s, I wrote a book titled In the Beginning - that 380 page handwritten novel was what I carried to the DFW Writers' Workshop in 1993 to learn why it garnered so many rejections - all tell, no show, no POV, and every other mistake a newbie writer could possibly make. From that, A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS debuted last November, volume one of my new Biblical fiction series The Generations.<br /><br />And now I'm writing a contemporary romance series, too :) So far so good :) One of my mentors, Berkley's top western author once said, "Caryl, pick a genre." Back then I had 2 non-fiction, a mystery, a thriller, a mature inspirational romance, a WWII novel, and 3 mid-grade chapter books. I couldn't choose! But I'm happy to say that I have finally chosen a genre! Christian Fiction! I know that's a broad one, but I need a broad one :) BLESSINGS!Caryl McAdoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392468033143238490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-31202806651236437342015-02-07T15:56:44.992-05:002015-02-07T15:56:44.992-05:00Hello, Michele with one 'L' :) and I'l...Hello, Michele with one 'L' :) and I'll already agree with you on that!

I've enjoye...Thanks for the welcome everyone! <br /><br />I've enjoyed meeting my fellow newcomers. Looking forward to working with everyone.<br /><br />I like Caryl's response that obedience is important to her. Writing of characters who are obedient to God even when it's hard would make a great ministry. I love the forgiveness aspect, and enjoy illustrating it in all its forms: God forgiving us, of course, but also us forgiving each other, forgiving ourselves, and even forgiving Him. <br /><br />To Caryl's question: I hope readers are open to authors trying different genres. I haven't really settled on what I want to write yet, which subgenre to Christian Fiction. I recently saw one major Christian author who had books of different subgenres, so I know it can be done. But publishers apparently frown on it. Gotta develop a loyal audience first.<br /><br />Shirley Raye: I love seeing the author illustrate solving the problems facing Christians using Christian principles--which is the point of the genre, I guess. But a realistic portrayal of what we face and how to conquer it provides a wonderful ministry--we illustrate how to solve things God's way, which provides an alternative to the world's way.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Linda Yezakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359372692625786864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-76808768294964170832015-02-07T10:16:46.710-05:002015-02-07T10:16:46.710-05:00Welcome to the STT family!

I also love the spiritual message interwoven into a good Christian fiction novel. I remember many a times growing up when a good book had just what I needed to hear in a bad situation. I want to do that for other readers. <br /><br />As for Linda's question, Jesus is the most important aspect of my faith. Without Him my life is meaningless and quite hopeless. But with Him, it's joy unspeakable and oh what love He showers on us. :)<br /><br />And, Caryl, to answer your question, one of my all-time-favorite authors did more than one genre. Lori Wick has both contemporary and historical, and they're all superb. I'll read a good inspirational novel in just about any genre. (Okay, I'm not the biggest fan of speculative, but other than that. :) )<br /><br />Thanks, you three, for joining us here on Stitches!

Of course, every aspect of following Him is important, but for me obedience because that's how I show God how much I love Him. And for Shirley, I find it inspirational that there's no foul language that my brain says before I can stop it. I hate reading books with ugly words because they're said in your head--readers get no warning! But if it's an inspirational, I can rest assured I won't be cussing :) I have to go to an early Basketball game this morning--my twelve-year-old grandsugar's. I'll be back asap and catch up on questions! BLESSINGS!
