The Next Creative Endeavor

For over twenty-years, I’ve been richly blessed as a film and theater instructor, a working actor and director . . . and while partnering with faculty to create effective–even “perfect”–instructional videos at an impressive little Minnesota college. Along the way, I’ve also continued to find creative projects, like co-writing a musical, producing a successful educational video, and even designing and selling thousands of personal teleprompters. Most recently, my teenage daughter and I co-wrote a YA novel entitled Suddenly Rural Girl. (Thank you to those who served as editors, sensitivity, and beta readers! Like most successful creative endeavors, we don’t undertake them alone! You are appreciated!) is

The next step of an author’s journey toward publishing a debut novel is finding the right Literary Agent . . . not necessarily an easy task. I expect it to be fun, frustrating, and fruitful. As with the writing itself, we’ll approach it prayerfully and with passion and diligence. Formal publication can still be a ways out, so your prayers continue to be appreciated! (And if you work in the literary or publishing realm–or are connected with those who are–I’d love to grab a coffee or cocktail and connect!)

God Bless (He does)!
