Where We Are Now

After finding and remediating mold twice in our Colorado home, we abandoned ship in October 2008. Because of the high levels of exposure, our entire family was affected. After months of seeing different specialists for all of the problems, we came to Arizona to begin comprehensive treatment to rid our bodies of the toxic buildup. In August 2009 we moved into a larger home, four bedrooms, south of Tucson, north of Mexico. I am doing my daily radio program/ writing from that location. Thanks for praying for us. We really feel it.

We originated live from Orlando, FL Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday during what used to be "CBA." It's now ICRS, or the International Christian Retail Show instead of the "Christian Booksellers Association" Convention. They sell a lot more than books in Christian bookstores these days, so I loaded up on Testamints, etc.

Monday, Liz Curtiss Higgs was with us, a former broadcaster with Howard Stern, no less. Susie Larson also talked about being an uncommon woman. She's a breath of fresh air. It was great to finally meet Karen Kingsbury Tuesday. I actually received a "Karen Kingsbury ink pen." Very cool. She's the inspirational fiction bestseller of a number of series. Steve Brown was supposed to join us Wednesday. He used to be one of my favorite people on the planet, but now I'll never forgive him for not being there. Oh, okay, I'll forgive him. The communication problem was probably on my end.

While there, I publicized my upcoming debut novel, Dogwood. It's exciting to have dreamed and worked on something for so long and finally get to see it in print. I also emceed the Christy Awards for Christian fiction and hostws a breakfast "talk show" for the CBA organization. At that event, I talked with William Young, author of The Shack, who is called "Paul." That book has caused quite a stir among Christian readers as well as those in the general market. He's on the Today Show today. It's such a different experience hearing people talk about a book and hearing an author explain where the pain came from that caused him to write it. I hope we'll talk about that work in the coming days.

One final note. The book I did with Jim Tressel, The Winners Manual, released this past Tuesday. Coach Tressel was at several signings over the past couple of days and the reaction has been nothing less than phenomenal. We're hoping many people will be encouraged by the content of that book.

It's good to be home. We'll do a pre-recorded broadcast Thursday with Joel Edwards of the UK and Ron Luce from Teen Mania. Then Friday's show will be live again. I hope you enjoyed the content each day this week.
