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.
It feels SOOOOOO good to announce Gina's sale!!!! This story is so compelling, it's going to set the blogosphere to chattering! Gina is a gifted writer and Crossing Oceans showcases that gift.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, my friend!
