Today’s post is a bit different from most in that I want to share some good news.
You may be sad that summer is sliding away so quickly and the cool air of autumn is here, or you may, like me, have lost a friend to cancer and are grieving. There are days that no matter what you do, nothing seems to work out. But there is hope too, and much to be thankful for. (Well maybe the turkey’s not so happy.)
 
Today I wish to offer encouragement to you wherever you find yourself and to share good news.
Sixty-one writers, including me, look forward to the release of a new anthology in the Hot Apple Cider series. It’s like Chicken Soup series with a decidedly Christian flair. In it are stories that offer hope and encouragement in many situations. It officially launches on November 1st. Watch my facebook page for news.

Here’s what editor N.J. Lindquist wrote about the new book:

In a complicated, busy world, do you feel overwhelmed and insignificant? The heartfelt stories in this collection will take you to a quiet place and remind you that simple acts of love can make a lifetime of difference.

Until then, I wish you happiness and joy, a warm home, friends and family who surround you with love, food to nourish you, and sun that shines softly on you.
