That went faster than I thought ... progress report on the sequel

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Thanks for opening this email.

I'm sure you've been busy. Me, too.

In February the local library hosted an author speaking event. It was a big success and I'm looking for more opportunities to do that.

In March we had a table at the Sportsmen's Expo hosted by Good Shepherd Community Church. Saw many old friends and made new ones as well.

I've spent lots of time writing the sequel to Someplace North, Someplace Wild, book 1 in the Mountain Ranch Adventure series.

In book 2, Someplace North, Someone Fair, Cody continues his quest to win Julie's love and find a way to own a mountain ranch. They must learn that only enduring faith will withstand the darkest trials, that dreams are forged in trouble, and hope in affliction.

I finished the narrative two weeks ago, and yesterday knocked out a major edit.

My friends always ask, "When it will be out?" Here's the answer: pretty soon.

Right now a couple of beta readers are scrutinizing the story (Thank you Barry and Mark!). And here at Brumbelow Books headquarters we're proofreading with all the fervor of Sherlock Holmes at a crime scene.

I expect to hire a cover designer in a few days. Then the layout. And maybe publish by June or July.

So this is just a heads up: be watching for more news shortly down the trail.

Eager readers are an author's best friends. Thanks for being one of them.

Shalom

Hi Reader, You wouldn't be on my mailing list if you didn't like to read. But have you read a book that changed your life? (Besides the Bible, in a class of its own.) I don't mean just non-fiction. In fact, I heard a pastor say "We read nonfiction for information but we read fiction for transformation." Here's how a prominent theologian put it. The deep places in our lives, places of resistance and embrace, are not ultimately reached by instruction ... [but] only by stories, images, metaphors...

Hi Reader, Here's another preview for my insiders. Today I uploaded a new cover for Someplace North, Someplace Wild. Now the new edition is up at Amazon. But I want you see something I created, before I release it to my whole list. It's a video ad that will show up at Amazon. Just 20 seconds long. I'll bet you can spare that. https://tinyurl.com/54zvtxdv Let me know what you think! Gary Brumbelow gary@garybrumbelow.com 13951 SE 312th Drive, Boring, OR 97009Unsubscribe · Preferences

Hi Reader, Even in days of conflict like we have in our nation, God always points His people forward. He expects us to pursue His calling on our lives. That calling will look different for each person. Needy people are everywhere. You have abilities that could make a difference to someone. For example, 80 percent of Americans would like to write a book. But many think "my life isn’t interesting enough." I thought that, too, but to my amazement, I've sold over 750 copies of two novels with...
