Contract with Abundance Books
I am humbled to announce my partnership with Abundance Books, which will publish my upcoming Christian divorce devotional planner and a divorce memoir. More on that later! Abundance published this photo on their social media, along with two other writers joining the company.
My ministry, Positively Joy with Yvette Walker, has spoken to so many women still holding onto loss, grief, and shame after relationship transitions. My devotional planner is the book I wish I had when I was getting divorced.
If you’d like to know more, or know women who might be interested, sign up at https://beautifullyloved.shop. From the announcement:
“Today, we’re opening our hearts and hands to welcome new authors to the Abundance Books family! Each of these gifted storytellers has answered God’s call to write words that shine His light — stories that comfort, inspire, and remind readers of His faithful love. Through their writing, they plant seeds of truth and hope that will continue to grow in hearts long after the last page is turned. “At Abundance Books, we believe every voice has purpose and every story has the power to point others to Christ. What a joy it is to walk alongside these incredible writers as they share their gifts with the world. Please join us in celebrating our newest authors — and in praying that God continues to bless their journeys, multiply their words, and use their stories to draw others closer to Him. Welcome home to Abundance Books. We’re so glad you’re here.”

I loved doing this podcast!
Melissa Hearn, pen name Melonie B. Hylan, interviewed me on the Tornado Alley Mystery Writers podcast, based in Oklahoma (what a great name!) and a chapter of the Sisters in Crime writing organization (another clever one). She was so kind, and I read an excerpt from “Sixty.” Listen in!
