Sneak Previews
Coming up: an interview with Dorraine Darden, author of Jack Rabbit Moon (see the nicely done book trailer featured here) about her adventures in self-publishing and plans for her next book. That's Dorraine, to the right, hiding behind, oh, maybe a cottonwood beside the Frio River? I'll be reviewing her lovely novel soon, too.
I'm not quite sure how I pulled this off, but Petru Popescu, author of Girl Mary, will prepare an essay for us on writing about famous female religious figures. About his book, Elie Wiesel said, "In this novel Petru Popescue's literary imagination will stimulate the reader's interest in religious and historical events." We will also have a few copies to give away, thanks to Simon & Schuster. Shall we have a contest? Lottery?Labels: authors, books, fiction, Self-Publishing

Read Girl Mary by Petru Popescu! Loved it!
Hi Adam,
Thanks for the visit and for commenting on Popescu's book. Are you related to the author or just another Roumanian/descended from with the same name?
In the book, Mary and Joseph seemed to also stand for Adam and Eve, in a way. At least, there was talk (God talking?) about them. What did you love about "Girl Mary"?
Let's see?? How about the first poster to post a reply to this request that is NOT a relative of the Author?
Oh, wait a minute! That makes me the winner! Yeah:)

Lottery! I always lose @ contests, so I think I'll have a better chance that way.

I think you should hold a writing contest - what else, seeing as this page is all about writing, and so is the WD Forum.
Oldtimer.
These are all good suggestions and good reasons!
Keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming!!!
Geo,
I think a lottery levels the playing field. Those with great writing skills will outwrite those with lessor skills. So a writing contest will be weighted on the side of experienced writers. Whereas putting all the names into a hat gives everyone an equal chance.
Just my thoughts:)

The contest is in the Women of Religions post for Monday, Sept. 26. Please read and comment. You can also read the essay the author wrote exclusively for this blog.
Thanks!
Hey!
My last comment didn't come up. I said that you should have a lottery because it would give everyone an equal chance of winning. Holding a writing competition would weigh the scales in favor of those who are highly skilled writers.
