A Book is Born (and a website and a podcast)!

A Traveler’s Guide through Suffering and Joy is now listed on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble!

My publisher says the book is now “live” meaning distributors have access to it now, so you should be able to find it at other book distributors besides Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

However, it will not be released until November 19 (instead of the 14th as previously expected), because of some glitches the printers experienced with the cover last week. All is settled now, and books are being printed. A box should arrive at my house tomorrow so that I will have the first physical look and touch!

You can find it on Amazon, add it to your list, and then order it on the 19th, or you can pre-order it now at Barnes and Noble.

Here is the Barnes and Noble link:

We’re still adding things to the website and we’ve started a podcast called Trail Mix.  My husband, Paul, and I recorded our first episode yesterday and hope to have it up on YouTube and on my website tonight – Lord willing! Check back on the website tomorrow to see if you can listen to the first episode in which Paul interviews me about the book. You may want to share this with friends.

It is a huge learning curve, but God has sent us a talented and patient web designer, Danette Reeves, who is leading us through lots of the tech maze. I could not do this without Paul, Danette, some tech guys at church, and our prayer partners!!!

The book, the website, and a podcast are all being birthed in 2024. Thanks for hanging in there with me. The Lord is making a path. I continue to pray Mary Slessor’s prayer, “Lord, the task is impossible for me, but not for Thee! Lead the way and I will follow” (or as I end the prayer, “and enable me to follow”).

My website includes a Spotify playlist of songs, compiled from the song lyrics that end each chapter. This was my publisher’s idea. There is a QR code in the book that will also take you to this list. Recently, Luke Kjergaard who is my Spotify man, changed three of the fourteen songs for me. I wanted different versions of the same songs. I hope that all of these songs will bless you. And may you be blessed and strengthened by A Traveler’s Guide through Suffering and Joy!
