August 1, 2009, the first of seven women’s fiction titles launches from Abingdon Press, the new fiction line in the United Methodist Publishing cluster. I’m so proud to say my debut novel is part of the launch, but I have to wait until October.
Today, these fine novels release: contemporaries Judy Christie’s Gone to Green and Joyce Magnin’s The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow, Kay Str
om’s historical The Call of Zulina and Rita Gerlach’s historical romance, Surrender the Wind. Our indefatigable editor, Barbara Scott, helped make all our books exceptional. Indeed, several have garnered starred Publisher’s Weekly 
reviews and glowing endorsements. Don’t miss your chance to dive into fiction that will pull you in, keep you turning pages and even inspire.
All these great reads are available through bookstores, at Amazon or at a 40% discount at Cokesbury.com. Go get ’em, Abingdonians!
Writing Tip for Today: My fiction would still be in a drawer if not for this Abingdon launch. I say this often, but it really is true: Keep improving your writing skills, practice your craft and never give up.
