I left the house before 5 AM today and I’ll get home around 11 PM so I’m a little tired, but today was way too fun! Definitely worth four flights! I walked away with a renewed appreciation for Multnomah. I met with about forty sales people and execs from Waterbrook, Multnomah, and Random House. We actually met at CBA headquarters in Colorado Springs.

I had an hour to introduce myself and it was my first time sharing “the guts” of Wild Goose Chase. Gotta say that I’m as excited about Wild Goose Chase as I am about In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. I think it’ll make a great sequel. We also landed on the cover design and shot some video to promote the book. We got a lot done in three hours!

For what it’s worth, Wild Goose Chase will release next August. I’m pushing for an 08.08.08 release date!

It’s hard to put into words, but I feel so grateful for a publisher who took a chance on a new author. And I don’t take for granted all the work the marketing, sales, design, and editing departments do. Publishing is a team effort! It was nice to be able to express thanks to the team in person. I walked away thanking God for His favor on this partnership!

I also got some great news. Multnomah is going to do an audio version of In a Pit.
