I’ve been hinting at it, but didn’t want to share the news too soon. Now I can because I finally got the signed book contract in the mail! Doing a happy dance! YAY!!! My first book contract!!! And with a major publisher! Thank you Harvest House Publishers! Thank you editor, Kim Moore, who listened to my pitch at the ACFW Writer’s Conference last fall and had faith and confidence in me and in this project!
So why is Jake holding the contract with me?
We are co-authoring this devotional book! So excited to be working on this project with my son.
And, I’m still working on my novels. Finishing up final edits on #2 and working on #3. Thankful to God for this gift and hope for more book contracts in 2014!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! So happy for you Holly!

Thanks Judy. I’m so excited about it too. Good thing it’s Jake’s off season now and we can get some work done.
CONGRATULATIONS HOLLY!

Congratulations! Sounds like a fun project to co-author a book with your son. I’m sure it’ll bring you even closer.
Thanks Sheila. I’m really excited to work on the project with him. And he’s in San Diego, playing for the Chargers, so I think a few “beach” meetings will allow the creativity to flow. I’d be happy to get out of the cold Midwest for a break!
Congratulations on your contract! Kim Moore is such a nice lady. I first met her on my way to the airport after an ACFW conference in Dallas.
I love Kim Moore. She’s so sweet and she really had a lot of confidence in me. Wonderful lady and am really looking forward to working with her.
Holly and Jake,
YEAH!!!! That is such awesome news. You two are really on a roll. Keep it rolling you two.
Thanks will do our best! 😊
Hey, hey, look at you! How super awesome cool is this! Wonderful, wonderful news–And extra fantastic to be sharing this *writerly extravanganza* with your son 😀
Hey Barbara, thanks I’m thrilled! Asking God for his blessings as Jake and I work together.
That’s awesome!! Congratulations!!!
Thanks!!
This is great news!!! So excited for you.
So awesome; congrats!
Before you go getting too excited about this, Holly, I think somebody needs to point out to you that this son of yours has a habit of ending teams seasons when he joins them. Not that God won’t step in and make this an awesome book, which I’m confident He will. Never mind my drivel.
To God be the glory!! Congratulations to both of you.
Lol Wade, that’s the NFL. Not for Long….the boy would be happy to settle on one team if they let him.
I don’t doubt for a second Jake would love to wear the same uniform for several seasons. I’m praying God answers that prayer.
Thanks Wade
