What do you Want to Accomplish in 2011?

I told you in my last post that I will be starting up a new series of posts that talk about, “Becoming Famous Before you are Famous.” It will be excerpts from my book of the same title.

I have been busy arranging signings for the new year. I just finalized a signing for April 16th at Border’s Books on Lancaster Drive in Salem, Oregon from 2-4 P.M.

I will also be scheduling two signings at Eola Hills Winery in Rickreall, Oregon for Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day. Those signings do not have times yet, so be checking this site for more information.

I will be signing books at the Oregon State Fair next fall for seven days in a row.

My book will be in many more stores in Oregon soon as well. That is the top priority for me in 2011. I will be contacting any stores that carry books or gifts.

You can order a book right from this site by clicking on the Bookstore tab above. It will direct you from there. If you order from this site, you will be mailed a copy of the book with a personal note, and autograph. That will not happen at any other outlet you can get books from.

I am also on www.Amazon.com, www.Christianbooks.com, and  www.Barnes&Noble.com sites.

The thought of the day….

It is a new year. What do you want to accomplish in 2011? How about finding new ways to serve the Lord? I know, you serve Him daily now, but what new things could you do to serve Him even more?

Asked God What he is Doing With Your Life? Wrong Approach

I had a very good day today with promoting my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

I left six at Rainbow West, a christian bookstore in Salem, OR.  I happened to actually meet with the owner (Dave Adams) of not only that store, but six other stores he owns in the Northwest.

He gave me all the managers names, and told me to contact them using his name as a reference.

I had lunch with a friend and he bought a book.

Got a check in the mail for the books I sold at the Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference last weekend.

Sold another one to friend that emailed me. I will give it to her tonight at a dinner.

Eight books in one day. I can accept that.

You can order one right now from this site. The books are selling for $23.95 in the Christian Bookstores, but you can have it for $19.99 plus $4.50 shipping which is just a little higher than  what the stores are charging.

Just go to the tab at the top and click on “Boostore,” and go from there.

If you order from this site, you will get a personal note and an autograph.

Have you ever asked God what He is going to do with your life? That’s not the right approach. God knows what He is doing. You and I don’t. God will lead us to do the right thing.

We need to be willing to go where ever God needs us, and trust Him Completely.

Worrying about what you are to do next is dishonoring God. We need to trust Him and go out to do what ever He calls us to do without fear.

Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World is in Print

There is a new and exciting page added to the author page. You can now order the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” right on this site. Just go to the “Bookstore,” and get one.

It won’t be available for another few days, so keep checking for the announcement that it is available.

It has been a long struggle to get to this point. I have been working on the book since 2001. It will be ten years next March.

It is worth every second. If the book can help one person then my times was not wasted.

Sorry this is such a short post. I have to post yet tonight on my blog, www.dailysignsofhope.com. I will have it ready in about an hour. Please check it out. The blog has been getting great reviews in that it has added 355 followers in just one year of existence. It also has been reaching out to those who suffer from anxiety, fear, self-doubt, depression, and the many other usual suspects.

God has blessed me a great deal since my days of having pity parties. I was pulled out of the muck and mire by our heavenly Father, and He has been holding my hand ever since.

Again, please keep checking back here for the latest on the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”
