This is the announcement to preview the debut of my new novel Then . . . you. Tomorrow, Friday, June 17th, 2022, Then . . . you will be available for distribution here. It might take a while longer to make its Amazon appearance and perhaps longer still for the ebook renditions.
The big celebration is that if you choose to purchase it here on Friday, the print copy will be available immediately for $9 less than the retail price it will be sold for on Amazon and the ebook copy will also be available here for your purchase.
About the pricing: I write longer stories. Technically things were done to reduce the page count on this novel so the pricing could be more reasonable. Another factor which we detest to mention is the inflation issues have also affected the printing presses. It costs more to produce books now, inhibiting the purchases by readers. Nothing I can do about that except to reduce the sizes of my novels. That's a tall order for me.
Then . . . you is a love story that touched me deep to write. I'm hoping it will do the same for you.
Here's the FOREWORD:
I write love stories with a passion. If you’re not a fan of romance, you’re probably not going to be a fan of my novels. I make no apologies for my work.
You might wonder why some authors write romance. I know many readers consider it pure “fluff” and a waste of valuable time. I’m not of that opinion, obviously, unless the relationships portrayed are in fact “fluff”. I think romance is inherent in our nature, but, like all human characteristics, it comes in varying degrees.
I believe romance is important because the way God designed it, it’s to be a necessary and beautiful part of finding and living love with the one He designed for each of us. I realize that’s a disputed concept, but it’s one I adhere to with all my heart.
In today’s world, “love” is not given a particularly valid definition and is often, based on that flawed definition, tried out with many partners instead of seeking that one who God designed to be with you.
Then . . . you tells the story of two people who estranged themselves from God’s plan for them until His love brought them back to His design.
Father, only you give me stories to write. Only you fill in the blanks when the words fail to come. Only you inspire me to write. Only you. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
