A Small Book Signing Presentation

On By dotluvs2writeIn Fiction Writing, Inspirational, News Events, Writing Techniques1 Comment

I had a small book signing for my debut novel, Passage of Promise, today after church. My table was set up next to the three tables for parishioners in the parking lot of the church for our coffee hour that follows liturgy.

Many of my fellow parishioners have already bought my book, I found out a little while ago. 🙂 But there are some people who haven’t. 😁

I will be doing another book signing presentation in the coming months at my church.

Here’s a picture taken this morning at my table. 🙂

It’s tough being able to do these events during this period of the pandemic, but I do them when and where I’m able.

I hope this inspires my fellow writers to work out some outside event for her/his published book(s) at this time. 🙂

One of my favorite movies that I’ve watched so many times over the years, I’ve lost count, is Hope Floats.

In a time when hope is needed more than ever, I wanted to share a few words, quotes, and a song I’ve been listening to this afternoon that moves me to tears, as it’s so beautiful.

First off, know that you were created by a Trinity, Who is Love, Peace, and Hope.

He fashioned you with the breath of His Spirit, the soil of His created planet, and in His own Image.

You are higher than every plant, animal, and nature’s grandest and most beautiful mountains, seas, and deep, rich forests.

You are higher than the angels.

You are the conduit between the immaterial and material.

All because of Him. His Love.

This pandemic will pass.

This economic depression will pass.

We will meet on the other side of it all with the hope of better things to come.

Live in the Light, Love, and Peace of Him.

 

“I was reborn when I was broken,

I wouldn’t believe, I wouldn’t believe, no,

Been through a storm, no use in hoping,

That you would come rescue me,

Somehow your love set me free.

And I, I can let my life pass me by,

Or I can get down and try,

Work it all out this lifetime,

Work it on out this time.

I can let it all pass me by,

Or I can get down and try,

Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime…”

– by singer, Maxwell
