Dear Friends and Family,
The books are hilarious, inspirational, uplifting, and sometimes shocking stories of a fellowship of young people in Wailua, Kauai, who allow God to be their guide as they struggle through their youth and humanness. Sometimes their adventures are endearing, and other times they are downright outrageous. Confidence: Reliance on the Spirit is the second book in “The Faith Series,” a series of 5 to 6 books. The first book is Innocence: Simplicity of Spirit.
This year was one of the most remarkable years in my life to date. Anything is possible when we follow God’s leading.
The holding company for the original publisher and another very large publisher transferred me to the large publisher in June, and gave me a wonderful new contract, which I couldn’t refuse because the terms were so much better than the old contract! The new publisher has a worldwide marketing plan for the books, which has already gone into effect. The first book featured at the World Book Expo in Frankfurt, Germany a few weeks ago. Out of the 800 authors that the publisher represented, 30 or so authors received deals with major distributors in other countries. Innocence: Simplicity of Spirit received multiple deals in China, Turkey, and Greece. It seems that these countries are looking for books written for young adults with American values.
Next is the London Book Expo, and then we, Don and I, will represent the books at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at UCLA, which draws 130,000 or more attendees. After that, Don and I travel to the huge New York Book Expo, and then the books go to the Beijing Book Expo, and then back to the World Book Expo in Frankfurt, Germany to complete the year.
The publisher also features the books in “Bowker’s Books,” the book list that bookstores use to shop for new books. Soon, the books will be coming to a bookstore near you. They are currently on all the big bookstore websites, along with the books from “The Spirit Series.”
We are a few weeks away from the release date for Confidence: Reliance on the Spirit, and the publisher’s website is not up yet. In the meantime, you may order Innocence: Simplicity of Spirit, and pre-order Confidence: Reliance on the Spirit from the website below:
Thanks for all your support. We plan to look up this holiday season and give thanks for the miracles while we continue to place our work in God’s hands. May God bless you and keep you in his tender loving care now and always.
Peggy and Don
