Oh my stars, regal airport hotel hong kong Kav and I are working together here!!!! YAY!!!!!! Okay, #MSWL is a riot, I m psyched to see Twitter used that way. #smart !!!!! I only got to two links for now, Tina, but thank you, I loved them!!! More later, I have company this weekend in the form of really cute kids and must get an hour s work in before they all wake up. Their dog did wake up... Laughing!!!!! But she s settled down now and realizes regal airport hotel hong kong No One Interrupts Writing Time. Good dog!!!! Grabbing coffee, thank you Helen, and I love, love, love your new cover!!!!! YAY!!!!!
Jeanne T., nothing in this biz should surprise. Seriously, and I mean that beyond belief, everything happens in this business and often it happens, repeatedly. Therefore we smile, nod and move on. This is my recipe for not getting caught up in nonsense ever and staying regal airport hotel hong kong focused. I grab that Serenity Prayer, and ignore the drama of publishing while focusing solely on the work and the fun. I m a big fan of nice folks and fun, Jeanne!!!! People regal airport hotel hong kong bounce from job to job, publisher to publisher, agency to agency and for a vast variety of reasons... So we smile and nod. Smile and nod. Because the face that liked your work in one agent s office but got voted down when marketing sighed and said we can never sell that book... Might be the next editor at Zondervan or Love Inspired or Bethany House or Penguin.... And all of a sudden you re on the right track toward publication. It is a mobile business!
Ah, the weekend is here! Saturday is often one of the days I m most free to be. To do. Love those Saturdays. Sundays I love to worship with my Christian family and perhaps have a mini adventure with my dh. :-) Thanks, Tina, for the terrific Weekend Edition! Always a great way to start my Saturday. Congrats to our winners. Thanks regal airport hotel hong kong for the oatmeal chocolate chip muffin, Kav! And that cup of java, Helen! Happy Weekend, Seekerville! Come sip some tea with me on Monday! Janet

You know, Keith and I work from home seven days a week, so you would think weekends would lose their charm, but NO!! I perk up on weekends and actually feel like I m relaxing even if I m working, so go figure. regal airport hotel hong kong :) I LOVE the weekend pic with the dock leading into the marshes regal airport hotel hong kong because my current WIP is located in Isle of Hope, GA, in the Lowcountry where marshes and tides and the smell of the sea are part of the charm. SUPER CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS AND HAPPY WEEKEND (AND FATHER S DAY TO THE DADS!). Hugs, Julie
Aw, JEANNE T ... I am so sorry your week wasn t the best, but SO very thrilled I could make it somewhat better. Not sure which book you will want of mine because I think you ve only read A Passion Most Pure, right? So you can either go for Charity s story next with book 2, A Passion Redeemed (my personal fave of the DOB series) or book 1 in the next series (Katie s story, my all-time fave of the books I ve written), or Marcy Patrick s prequel, A Light in the Window, or start with book 1 of the new series, Love at Any Cost. You can even request the paperback of Romance-ology 101, so just let Tina know what you want, and I will shoot it out to you, okay? Saying one RIGHT NOW that this week is WORLDS better, my friend. Hugs, Julie

Thanks for the link to my article, Tina! And JANA, I have human trafficking in my historical Purple Like the West, set in 1909.
