✏️ PUBLISHING NEWS
Coming up…
The R2M Kickstarter is live from October 31-November 21.
During the KS, we’ll focus on the exciting and new books of mine–including bundles and audiobooks and Christmas gifts–available for you ONLY on that marketplace.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS.
After the Kickstarter, I’ll begin sharing exciting developments of my upcoming Sci-fi Fantasy Dystopia (SFFD) epic (4-5 book series), and if you are reading this, you’ll get in on some secrets about the story–behind the scenes, images, maps, etc.
We’ll work together on ideas for the cover–which as I said is going to be designed in January. We’ll have a live meet-up, all the fun!
About the launch date–My Last Trumpet Press publication calendar always had the R2M (Return to Me) Kickstarter launch to be Fall of 2025. In September, we had a vote for which series to be published first and the SFFD won by a smidgen (by maybe one vote). I hear you!
So in reviewing that poll, I made the executive decision to do both SIMULTANEOUSLY. This way, once the Kickstarter is over, we can give our full attention to the excitement and teasers and information about the SFFD (including finally telling you the actual TITLE for the series and book one instead of calling it by a bland genre name!! I can’t wait for that!)
Also, keeping the original schedule enables us move on after completing the R2M set–to go full-steam in the SFFD series.
So, R2M1 ➡️ R2M2 ➡️ R2M3
➡️ ➡️
SFFD1 ➡️ SFFD2 ➡️ SFFD3, etc.
The retail launches may vary, but YOUR access is always premiere!
Thanks for being here with me in this exciting adventure!
📖 Points to Ponder
Finally–I read this this week and wanted to share it with you to encourage you…
Inspirational Quote from Spurgeon:
“Spiritual knowledge of Christ will be a personal knowledge. I cannot know Jesus through another person’s acquaintance with him. No, I must know him myself; I must know him on my own account.
It will be an intelligent knowledge-I must know him, not as the visionary dreams of him, but as the Word reveals him. I must know his natures, divine and human.
I must know his offices-his attributes-his works-his shame-his glory. I must meditate upon him until I “comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.”
It will be an affectionate knowledge of him; indeed, if I know him at all, I must love him. An ounce of heart knowledge is worth a ton of head learning.
Our knowledge of him will be a satisfying knowledge. When I know my Saviour, my mind will be full to the brim-I shall feel that I have that which my spirit panted after. “This is that bread whereof if a man eat he shall never hunger.”
At the same time it will be an exciting knowledge; the more I know of my Beloved, the more I shall want to know. The higher I climb the loftier will be the summits which invite my eager footsteps.
I shall want the more as I get the more. Like the miser’s treasure, my gold will make me covet more.
To conclude; this knowledge of Christ Jesus will be a most happy one; in fact, so elevating, that sometimes it will completely bear me up above all trials, and doubts, and sorrows; and it will, while I enjoy it, make me something more than “Man that is born of woman, who is of few days, and full of trouble”; for it will fling about me the immortality of the ever living Saviour, and gird me with the golden girdle of his eternal joy.
Come, my soul, sit at Jesus’s feet and learn of him all this day.”
(From Morning and Evening by C.H. Spurgeon)
May this meditation be a blessing to you today.
