Okay... it's been a week and I don't see Bethy's post sitting here anywhere, so! This is me announcing for her...

What Lurks in the Forest is PUBLISHED!

You can find the book on Amazon here!
Take a look inside if you like (I got to play with it this time, mwahaahaha!) and buy a copy to read and share with your family! Don't forget to leave a review!!

*throws glitter and bookmarks*

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

That is a seriously amazing blog comment. Now I'm curious where you got the picture, Vilisse? :D

That's awesome! Really happy for you! I wish I could afford the book...I usually get books from the library. Hopefully sometime in the near future I'll be able to get it, it's so cool to see other people close to my age being published...it's very encouraging! God bless, and I hope your story does well on amazon. More importantly, I hope that it blesses those that read it!
