National Chris Well Day!

Friday, June 02, 2006    8 comments

Hi all. I know you were looking forward to Jessica teaching on publicity. I asked her to take the day off and bring it to us next Friday.

Our goal here at Novel Journey is to promote great CBA novels and we're going to help Chris Well promote his upcoming release.

Today across the internet, bloggers et al will be posting the first chapter of his book for your perusal. I hope that you'll check it out and then come back here and leave a comment encouraging our friend.

(I want to take a moment to thank those of you who leave comments encouraging our authors and contributors. It really goes a long way to keep everyone going. We greatly appreciate it!)


Deliver Us From Evelyn (Harvest House, 2006) is already building abuzz in its own right. In this thriller, everyone from the Feds to the mob is scrambling to find the husband of heartless media mogul Evelyn Blake. But no one can decide which is worse — that he is missing, or that she is not.

Chris Well is an award-winning novelist and magazine editor. By day,he is editor for Homecoming and contributing editor for CCM. He andhis wife make their home in Tennessee.


Without further ado:

    Go, Chris! I'm reading Evelyn now, and it's great. Quirky. Fun ... Wait a minute. It's a crime novel. Are they even allowed to be fun?
