On the road to publication

The last months of 2019 were an exciting time. I’d finished writing my third novel, Silent Altitudes, and was seeking a literary agent to represent it. On the advice of a friend (Holly, I owe you one!) I looked into some pitch contests on Twitter and participated in #FaithPitch, a one day event to attract the interest of Christian publishers and literary agents. Authors tweet a brief teaser for their book, and if a publisher or agent “likes” your tweet, that’s an invitation to send them a submission. I got interest from three publishers, and in December I signed a publishing contract with Ambassador International.

Having self-published my prior work, breaking into the world of traditional publishing is a huge and exciting step, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds. It will be a while until the novel is released, roughly a year from now, and I have a lot of work to do in the meantime such as setting up this website. I invite you to follow along for news and my thoughts on various things related to my writing journey. God has been good and I have much to be thankful for. To all who have helped me along the way, you have my deepest gratitude and appreciation.
