We are thrilled to announce three finalists in the ACFW Genesis contest: Mindy Obenhaus in the Romantic Suspense category, Anne Greene (of our South Korea division) in Historical Romance, and longtime member Lisa Buffaloe, who recently moved to Idaho, in Women’s Fiction. The Genesis contest is only open to unpublished writers. Great start, ladies!
Jane Thornton has had an article published monthly in http://www.thechristianpulse.com/. She writes with wisdom and humor, as you can see by these samples: “Goodbye Bunny Sweater” published 5/24 http://www.thechristianpulse.com/2010/05/24/goodbye-bunny-sweater/
and also “A Little Cheese with that Whine” was published on 4/26 : http://www.thechristianpulse.com/2010/04/26/a-little-cheese-with-that-whine/#more-5113
Dr. Richard Mabry has a book signing for his tremendously successful first book, Code Blue, on Saturday, June 12th, at the Cokesbury Store in Dallas from 11 to 1, with four other authors. Then he packs up and goes to the Barnes & Noble in Stonebriar Mall in Frisco, where he and Ronie Kendig will be signing from 2 to 4. We look forward his second release, Medical Error, in September, 2010.
Beth Shriver also will be signing Peace for Parents of Teens on June 12th, 2-4, at The Shops at Highland Village, Texas, on June 12th 2-4. See an excerpt on Hartline Literary Agency’s blog now: http://hartlineliteraryagency.blogspot.com/ .
Our publisher rejections prove that we’re a hard-working group, striving for publication and supporting each other through the process.
Lynne Gentry’s Ghost Heart went to committee for the second time at Cook, but was declined.
Sheaf House turned down Jane Thornton’s Encouraging Kelsey, a book of ideas for encouraging people who are struggling with illness and depression.
Lee Carver’s proposal of Blessed Insurance was rejected by Steeple Hill. Romance on a Distant River, formerly known as Jungle Nurse, is still floating around out there in Publisher Land.
DFW Ready Writers voted last week to issue certificates for rejections as encouragement to continue honing our craft and sending out well-critiqued manuscripts. Sales of books will be acknowledged in a manner currently being decided.

CORRECTION: Thanks for the plug, but Ronie and I have already done the Cokesbury and B&N signings. We'll be at the Mardel's in Frisco (Lebanon and Preston) on Saturday, June 19, from 1 to 3. They're having a big pre-Father's Day sale, so drop by and get that gift you've been meaning to buy. And stop by to see us while you're there.
