Sad and Lonely

This past weekend and through next Friday - June 1 - 7 years since Matt died has been so hard on me. Even though I had my 3 beautiful grandchildren here for five days Memorial Day is so hard and grief has hit me harder than any other  year. I am sad and lonely at my loss and I struggle to do anything. Some people say it gets easier - Well - They are WRONG! All I can do is lean on God - thank goodness He does not get tired of me- He is the only one I can count on. I must look forward to the launch of: Matt's Last Call: Surviving our Protectors. It looks like the launch date will be late October - not sure when I personally will get to start selling books on my own. I just picked out the cover so now we will move on to layout. Praise The Lord!

Graphic Designer

God is so great! Back in January I started working on marketing and looking through the many graphic designers at my publishers. There was one persons work that I loved. I was hoping I would get him. I held my breath when I receive the email that  Shawn would be my graphic designer for my book cover. A week or so ago we talked on the phone to get to know one another. I shared ideas with him about ideas for the cover and he gave me some ideas. This month he is working on several different covers and then he will send them to me to pick the one I want on: Matt's Last Call: Surviving our Protectors. I should have them by the 24th! I am so excited - I think we are a great fit. He and his wife have just had their second child - congratulations to them. And thank you God for blessing me with Shawn and thank you Shawn for taking on my book cover.

NEW TITLE

For marketing purposes the name of my book has changed. I need to trust my editor as she knows what sells and how to get my book out to everyone. That is the most important thing as much as I hated to change the title. My book will be going international so we need to reach out to everyone. I'm going to trust the Lord on this one as it was the hardest decision I have had to make during this entire process. The title is:

MATT'S LAST CALL: SURVIVING OUR PROTECTORS

Please help me out by sending this out to all your friends. Things are starting to pick up and before we  know it the book will be on the sheves of bookstores around the world. Help me save a life.
