Looking Glass
Well, it's official. I have a book title...
Stone Crossings: finding grace in hard and hidden places
I feel tentative, the way that little child looks in the pic above. But I also feel ready, to walk through the looking glass.
Thanks to all of you who've been encouraging me.

Good for you, friend! I'm so glad this is the one they chose.
LOVE the pic in this post.
love the title! can't wait to read it! (um, what exactly is it about?)
I love the title too! Cannot wait to pick up a copy ...
Congrats.
Congratulations! The title sounds great and from what you've shared on your blog, I'm sure the content will be just as great!
Thanks for leading the way for the rest of us yet-unpublished writers :)
Love the title - and look forward to purchasing and reading it.
Congratulations, that is just so wonderful. Keep us updated.
L.L., Yes. We look forward to reading it! I hope we see it all over bookstores here.
You've just landed on another stone as you make your way across the stream! I am thrilled for you -- for all of us! A title means we are one step closer to be able to read your book!

What a cool title. Congratulations!
Christianne... yes. It's a good title, and a few good friends told me so up front. :)
Heather... it's memoir tied with biblical reflection, on the topic of our faith journey. So, it starts with my difficult childhood and "coming to faith" issues and moves to my redeemed adulthood and "maturing into faith" issues. No surprise, the book is held together at the image level by "stones." It's amazing how many experiences one has to draw on, from personal life and the bible, that include these humble objects.
Kirsten... thanks!
Katrina... I hope so. It has taken some of my best hours and most intense thinking.
Eve... ah, yes, the writer's journey. I'm glad you enjoy watching the process. I'm enjoying setting down a chronicle, for myself and my children.
Halfmom... thanks for the encouragement!
Green Earth... I'm sure I'll talk more about it along the way (hopefully not to the point of annoying my readers here! :)
Ted... me too!
Charity... this too is part of the whole journey, and has been part of my faith journey in its own way. And I was so touched by your enthusiasm, saying you were thrilled "for all of us."
Every Square... thanks. Now we'll just have to see if the rest of the world thinks so. :)
I want to have a read, where will it be available?
wooooo hoooo!!! looking forward to reading it and telling all my friends :)
Mike... hopefully in bookstores everywhere! Libraries too. But I'll leave that distribution stuff up to the publisher (well, it couldn't hurt if you all went to your local bookstore and requested it!)
Aimee... thanks so much for your great enthusiasm. It encourages me.
How could I have missed the announcement?! I'm a putz! A putz I tell you!
Cool title. I can't wait to buy it and read it.
Although I am a relative newcomer to your blog, I am thrilled for you!
