My Second Book "Stains of Grass"

I'm pleased to introduce my second book, recently published through Westbow Press, a division of Thomas Nelson and Zondervan.  Stains of Grass is in the same format as my first book, 288 Chances, published in October 2013, a collection of writings that began with one word or one photo, and five minutes of free-writing.  

 

From the back of my book, "Guided by her faith, prompted by her inner Spirit, and with honest and unique interpretations, Brenda uses words, photographs and scripture to provoke thought and offer a gentle nudge for each of us to look both inward and outward. Inward for a better understanding of ourselves and our motives in this life, and outward so we may more readily see and be first to reach out when others need lifting up."

 

I find that when I write from my everyday, sometimes through personal experience, but mostly through the simple observation of human nature, my faith often finds its way onto the page.  And I'm prompted to share that with you.

 

I had two book signings recently, both well-attended with many interesting questions about my writing and the publishing process.  It seems there are many out there who either have an idea for a book and haven't yet decided to take the leap, or who have been a writer for as long as they can remember, but have never shared what they write with others.  I believe that many ideas and stories from many talented and thoughtful writers will never be shared.  If I can do it, so can you!

 

From my experience, it takes a combination of courage and en-courage-ment to put yourself out there.  I've been very fortunate to have a wonderful support system that has shared not just their encouragement that I could see a book (or two) published one day, but who gave me their honest opinion on whether or not I should.  Without that support, I may not have found the confidence to publish and share my words with others. 

 

My book is available in printed softcover and ebook for downloading at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com or on the publisher's website at Westbow Press. 

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Read (and write) on!
