Colleen Coble is at Seekerville today

Multi-published author and friend, Colleen Coble is at Seekerville.blogspot.com today, talking about contests. Stop over and leave a comment to be included in our contest.

Hope you, or the lady in your life, had a lovely Mother's Day. My husband and I celebrated with one daughter and her family on Saturday. We'll see our other daughter next weekend so we were alone Sunday. The gloomy, rainy day didn't stop us from enjoying the Mother's Day message at church and the lovely four-piece box of candy handed out to the ladies after service. Yes, I shared with my husband. :-) We went to brunch with friends, then drove to our favorite nursery to buy plants. We've cut back on all the groupings of pots we used to have and now stick to two showy favorites. We got a beautiful braided hibiscus tree for the front porch and a vining Mandevilla for the deck. My husband dropped me off at WalMart and I ran in for the May copies of the Love Inspired Historicals, The Bounty Hunter's Bride by Victoria Bylin and The Road to Love by Linda Ford. I've read all the books in the new line and really enjoyed them. I'm delighted to be part of this wonderful group of authors!

Which brings me to my news. My second book has an official title and release date: Courting the Doctor's Daughter, LIH, May 2009. I love the courting titles. As soon as I get a cover for Courting Miss Adelaide, I'll post it here.

Thanks for stopping. Blessings.

Congrats Janet,

You must be so proud. I can't wait until your first book is out. Is it still set for the fall? Please let me know when it is in print. Dona Graves

Thanks, Dona! I'll send you a bookmark to remind you Courting Miss Adelaide releases in September.

I'm soooo anxious to see Miss Adelaide on the shelves, Janet (like you're not!) It's exciting times--I pray for you to enjoy every minute.

Hi Liz! You've experienced the thrill of seeing your book(s)in print so you know how I'm feeling.
Someone told me book club members could have a book one, possibly even two months, before the scheduled release date. If that's true, Courting Miss Adelaide could be in readers' hands by July. :-)

Thanks for stopping in.

I had an experience with that! Debutante was for sale on ebay before it was in the stores because of book club. Someone saw it, asked me about it, I said Nah, can't be, but it was. Just one of the adventures. :-)

You had to be blown away by that! The writer's life is an adventure. Kind of Indiana Jones in a computer chair. :-)
