Another Lutheran author has opened enrollment into his launch team! Rev. Tyrel Bramwell, author of The Gift and the Defender and Finding the Truth in Story: Grimm’s Fiary Tales, Vol. 1, has two books nearing release. Want to “come in and launch” Come in, We are Closed, which tackles the topic and tensions of closed Communion?

Forever Launch Team
I have met some great Lutheran authors in the last five years or so, one of whom is Vanessa Rasanen. I recently read a pre-release copy of her first novel, Soldier On (Releasing Fall 2018), and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyway, she is currently offering an opportunity to apply for her “Forever Launch Team.”

Baughman Giveaway
Ok. I’ve closed the Bo Giertz Giveaway and have sent out an email to those who entered. (Let me know if that failed somehow.) Now, on to a Sarah Baughman Giveaway! This Lutheran author has graciously offered a free copy of A Flame in the Darkness, a solid and satisfying book set in Wittenberg during the Reformation. I reviewed it here. I really enjoyed it!

Today’s post is an interview with Lutheran author and economist, Ray Keating, who is well-known for his Pastor Stephen Grant series. His novels were some of the first Lutherans novels I ever read, and I often smile to see new installments coming out. And, now, he is producing a podcast, Ray Keating’s Authors and Entrepreneurs!

I hope by now I’ve established that I want to encourage you, especially to write. Now, sure, I’d like to sell a few books along the way so now and again I look up things about “author websites” and blah blah blah.

Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly
Yesterday my post was admittedly under-enthused, but today’s is happier. Admittedly, it’s primarily aimed at women and maybe pastors. A good option for ladies looking to submit articles and built their curriculum vitae (CV) is Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly. In shorthand, it’s the LWML quarterly and its often eager to accept submissions.

Personalized Publicity
Every writer knows that publicity can be hard to come by. There are so many words floating around the cosmos and so few ears that chose to hear, let alone eyes to read! But check out what Lutheran novelist Katie Schuermann is doing for her next release: personalized publicity at its best!
Blessed Release!
Blessed release! The pun is undeniable. My new book Blessed: God’s Gift of Love is set to release today from Concordia Publishing House!
