Code Blue-Gray Proposal

What a great conference last week! I have finally caught up on my sleep from the "Called to Write Conference" in Pittsburg, Kansas. Some nights I was so inspired to write, I couldn't settle down to

close my eyes. Sleep evaded me another night when I stayed up late to write a book proposal.

Debra L. Butterfield, CrossRiver Media

Code Blue-Gray: Hope and Humor for the Ill (a working title for now) was given to CrossRiver Media for consideration. The bulk of this book will chronicle my health journey from the end of 2013 to the present. Interspersed there will be one-liners, cartoons, and humorous poems. My hope is Code Blue-Gray will be marketed in hospital gift shops to give the dying and depressed some comic relief and hope for healing. Please pray with me as CRM reviews my proposal . I have met two editors from CrossRiver and was impressed with both. Debra Butterfield, Nonfiction Acquisitions Editor for CRM, presented several workshops at the conference. One I especially enjoyed was "Creating Captivating Characters." Deb is pictured to the left. If you would like to get updates about this upcoming book, please leave me a comment and I will add you to the growing list.

CALLED TO WRITE

I am looking forward to the Called to Write Conference next week in Pittsburg, Kansas. Featured speakers are best-selling author Kathleen Y'Barbo, prolific-freelance writer Jane Landreth, and Jeane Wynn of Wynn-Wynn Media. Ramona Tucker of OakTara, whose father passed away and her mother is gravely ill, will not be able to present. She will be replaced by Debra Butterfield, acquisitions editor for CrossRiver Media. This event is hosted by the Christian Writers'  Fellowship of Girard, KS. If you would like more information on this great conference go to the link below. I hope to see you there.
