I’m so excited/nervous/curious to have been selected in the #10queries draw! Can’t wait to get some professional feedback on the query and the first five pages. I’ve spent so much time working on both, almost as much time drafting this extra rare social media post. Thanks #revpit!!

At last years Festival of Books, I was nervous about sharing anything I had written.

It’s been quite a year! #authorsky

Tell me, who’s following Christ here?
