I love a good suspense novel and I thought it was interesting how Adam likes the style of Mary Higgins Clark. I love Christian fiction the best, but I also enjoy reading the suspense of Clark.

The importance of not giving up on the path to publication seems to have resonated with a lot of you. The best advice anyone ever gave me was "Never, ever give up." I would add to that: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

What if Adam would have said, "This is too hard. I can't do it." We wouldn't have been able to join in the applause for him now. It sounds like a great book and I can't wait to read it. Kuddos and blessing to you, and much success on this project and others you have. I plan to read portions of the interview to encourage the people in my writers workshop tomorrow at the GLASS/CMTA Convention held at the Pasadena, CA Convention Center.
