Guess Who's Got a Book Contract . . .

This week those of us at Novel Journey were dancing with pleasure as Publisher’s Marketplace announced the debut novel of one of our own!

Can you guess who it is?
Here’s a hint:


Nope, that’s not Ane. (For those of you wondering about the picture, she was playing the part of Brandilyn Collins in a skit at an ACFW conference.)

Here’s another hint:



You guessed it! Novel Journey’s own founder ,Gina Holmes, has her debut novel, CROSSING OCEANS, releasing in Spring 2010! (It's an amazingly beautiful story. Wait until you read it!!)

You go, girl! You deserve it.

  7. Awesome news Gina! Can't wait to get a copy. This makes two of my fellow ACFWers who have been contracted in just a few short months. Maybe there's hope for me yet. Oh, wait. First I gotta finish the darn manuscript. Back to work. :-)

  15. Thanks everyone! I must've answered hundreds of emails in the last few days congratulating me. Each one touched me. It's really cool to be part of a community that roots one another on this way.

    (You know what's funny? My word captch (word verification) is "parti". Ha, indeed I shall. Maybe it's funner with an "I"?
