SEASONED FOR THIS SEASON: BLOGHOP: THE NEXT BIG THING!

THE NEXT BIG THING!

Last week, Donetta Bennett-Quiones (http://research4usolutions.blogspot.com) invited me to be part of a blog hop called "The Next Big Thing". I'd never done a blog hop before (nor did I have a blog at the time) so I decided to give it a try. The purpose is to help readers discover the next great book or author. It seems like a "Win Win" situation to me. So check out Donetta's blog, her feature may be the next big thing or maybe my book is. Either way, show our blogs and our author friends some love by visiting our blogs and purchasing our books. SMILE!

So, I will start by sharing about "MY BIG THING"... my book..."There Is A Miracle in 21: God Completes".

What is the title of your book? There Is A Miracle in 21: God Completes!

Where did the idea come from for the book? Well, I set out on a 21 day journey of change. While journeying, I decided to journal the journey in hopes to encourage and inspire others. The journey was a series of seven 21 day journeys over 9 months.

What genre does your book fall under? Religion: Inspirational

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Kimberly Elise (me) Denzel Washington (my husband)

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? This book is INSPIRATIONAL DRAMA that shows anyone’s mess can be turned into a miracle if they trust God to complete.

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? My book is self published, but prayerfully my 2013 title (Seasoned for This Season) will be represented by an agency.

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?The book took 21 months to complete.

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
I would compare it to any 30/60/90 day devotional because of Chapter 5 which outlines a 21 day devotional. However, the book is quite unique in that it tells my story for God’s glory while including a devotional chapter.

Who or What inspired you to write this book?

This book journey arose from discontentment in my life. The realization that I had become someone I didn’t want to be inspired the writing of this book. I was so unhappy with my situation until it hurt. I once had a pastor that always said, “Hurt people, hurt people”. I didn’t want to hurt others. However, I couldn’t recognize my blessings, and I felt as if I were being cursed. Therefore, during “my woe is me” session in September 2010, I had the epiphany of taking a 21-day journey in hopes of change. I quickly grasped that “Pain pounds out your purpose and propels you to your destiny if you dare to trust God to complete.” God took me from my messy state to my Miracle.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? I have mentioned that it has a devotional chapter. However, the book is humorous and plays on all emotions at one point or another.

That's "MY" Big Thing! However, here are 5 authors that also have stories to encourage and inspire you.
