As a part of winning the WestBow/Women of Faith writing contest, they created this beautiful video, which features inspiration for other writers seeking publication, as well as a bit of information about my upcoming debut novel from David C. Cook.
Take a look.
And if you write, never, never never give up!

I’m thrilled and so grateful to announce my new, two-book contract with David C. Cook Publishers! Finalized in May, 2012, the first novel is slated for release in early 2014. The second is TBD. I couldn’t have asked for a more incredible company to trust with making my words be the best they can possibly be for you–my readers! Thank you, David C. Cook!!!

Love this. Love the pictures. Love the writing chair.
Love the bed. Is this a picture of a starving writer trying to stay warm?
Yep, starving and cold, that’s me! Hugs to you, Sandra!
Hi Amy,
It’s nice to “meet” you. I read a couple of your columns this morning and will be back to read more. I really like your easy and honest style.
I’m a pitcher-outer, for the record…nothing last long in this house. Somtimes I get caught…like when my husband looks for a shirt I donated to the Goodwill long ago. I’m sort of terrible about recycling the kids’ artwork, too (well, I keep the really good stuff).
I know, I’m ruthless.
Anyway, nice to meet you!
Thank you so much and so nice to “meet” you too! Nice to hear you’ll be back. Blessings!
I clicked over here through twitter or something. Anyway, just wanted to say “HI!” and comment about the picture of you writing. That could totally be me. I almost always write bundled in bed with a scarf around my neck. We even have identical laptops! Too funny. Even your other writing space … I have that same chair! My piles of books, though, cover my dining room table and line my bedroom walls.
