Time is a Treasured Commodity

Seems like meeting new authors has come to an end.

The numbers have dwindled to only a couple of hundred, causing me to wonder if this is something you all are interested in. 





I mean, I'm willing to do the leg work. Have for four+ years. I've search for new authors, representing all genres, meet them at conferences, etc. Get their info...and, well, and take care of the details.

BUT

Now, I'm thinking it seem like meeting new authors has come to an end because the numbers of readers have faded.

The purposed for this particular weekend will be then to see where everyone is at.

True, there are a gazillion blogs out there. 
And time is a treasured commodity.

So, in one word or more...

Let's Talk.

1. Do you want to continue meeting new authors? Book giveaways are a given.

2. And the dreaded question (this is one I would have trouble answering at first myself), what would interest you enough to read about?

Think about it. If you need, come back and answer.  But answer question number one in the comment section first.

I am not closing down this blog. Just feeling my way through how best to engage you all in an exciting, refreshing chat.

I am ready to meet a new bull and to take him by the horns. 

Comments

Hi Mary. I understand your uncertainty about this blog because I have noticed recently that fewer and fewer people have commented. Do I want you to continue to feature authors and giveaways? YES! I am thrilled if I can win but even better, I am always inspired, motivated AND challenged when I join you for your virtual coffee chats.
Your second question is indeed hard because I have been pleased with the authors/genres you have showcased.
I don't know if this has helped but I do know that you will let God lead you in your decision.
Blessings!
Connie
Thanks, Connie.
Just this morning, God has given me an idea that springboards from these weekend chats with delicious virtual beverages and pastries. One I'm pretty excited about. I'll announce the idea next week...while staying open to any more comments here.
Thanks, Connie!!

Today I welcome  Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. Enter to win Laura's  September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t

Fabulous Friday Feature-Julie Lessman

Today I welcome a well-known authoress, one with a bubbly, energetic personality  and has become a sweet friend:  Julie Lessman .   Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night.  I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. entitled When Tomorrow C

Mary here.     I asked Terri: how has God led  you on your writing journey? Here is what she said:   Dreams God Has for Me Thank you Mary for hosting me today. When America was attacked in September 2011, the world changed. I remember my heart hurt for those who had suffered and died. I thought how could my writing ever mean anything to anyone when there were more important issues going on in the world.  I had been writing and trying to publish for eight years at that point and was getting discouraged. I had begun to think maybe it was time to let the dream of publishing go.  A few weeks after 9/11 my women’s Bible study went for a weekend retreat to the beach. The theme of the retreat was Dream Big. Throughout the weekend I kept wondering what God would want me to dream
