A Reading from My Upcoming Book

Happy May folks.

I missed you guys in April because time is moving fast, and I’m consumed with finishing my book for publication this year. I’m in the editing phase, submitting chapters to my editor, then rewriting. It’s going well. I’m amazed how my editor can see what I couldn’t. They are great to have; I’m grateful for mine and appreciate her.

On Easter Day, my nephew and his wife invited me to read an excerpt from my book at their church’s Easter service. It was a great opportunity, although I had never done it before. I was a bit nervous and hoping I spoke clearly enough.

I’m sharing this reading with you in this month’s blog. I hope you will watch the video and that it will inspire you to want to read more of the book. The church is Immanu-El Temple International Church, Pastor Willie C. Signil, IV. Currently, they meet online each Sunday at 9:00 am EST. My nephew, an Army veteran, deployed to and fought in Iraq for several years. He recently retired and began this ministry, but has been preaching for quite some time. If you have no church home, you are welcome to join Immanu-El Temple International Church services on Facebook or Instagram.

So, here I am as I am–natural, ordinary, and plain reading an excerpt from my upcoming book. (I’m sure my nieces and other younger ladies would offer some makeover and fashion tips for my next reading. That’s cool; I’ll take it.) LOL!

I appear early, right after the second worship song. (The video pauses a few seconds but soon continues.)

Happy listening. Be blessed until next time. 🙂
