Something New: A Contract!

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Writing Sisters

Watch! I’m about to carry out something new! And now it’s springing up— don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the wilderness and paths in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

Why are we so happy? We’re signing a book contract! After years of publishing children’s books we are publishing our first adult novel, The Shepherd’s Song. The publisher: Simon & Schuster’s Howard Books. Many thanks to our agent, Greg Johnson at WordServe Literary Group. We are excited! Time for the happy dance! Stay tuned …

If you would like to follow along the progress of the book and be part of our prayer support you can sign up here:
