I attend one writing conference every year. It's great to meet new people and reconnect with friends from previous conferences. Once in a while, I meet someone who is instantly a friend. Let me introduce you to one such person. Vickie Fisher is the most amazingly upbeat person I've ever met. She meets life head-on and with a deep well of humor and understanding. It's dangerous to have dinner with her as she'll have you laughing so much, you might choke on your food. Her books are on my shelves forever. Here's Vicki:
For Readers
It’s common
to hear stories about women leaving their jobs to become caregivers for their
loved ones. But I wanted to tell a different story. A story of how a man loves
his wife so much, that the thought of anyone else taking care of her is
unthinkable. I truly believe that love is God’s greatest miracle, so I wrote Tulips
of Love, a story filled with love, hope, and miracles.
For Writers
Recently, a friend threw my own
words back at me, “not writing your book is you just being selfish.” It was
like a slap to the back of my head. I am being selfish. What! How can you say
that? Think about your favorite book, how it made you feel, how happy you were to
be reading. What if that author had decided not to write? What if they were
afraid and never put the words to paper? Instead of sharing it with you, they
were selfish and hoarded it inside their head. You would have been deprived of
their wonderful book. Being told I am selfish is the motivation I need to push
me to write, to get my book onto paper, and to become another wonderful sharing
author on the book shelf. How about you, will you share your story with me?
Blurb
He was never so
happy as the day they met, now he’s never been so scared to lose her.
Jeff and Michelle’s lives had felt as perfect as their love for one another. A successful family business, wonderful children, and the hope of a long life together… until an inoperable brain tumor threatens to destroy the happily ever after they thought was guaranteed.
Will faith and sacrifice be enough to save the woman he can’t imagine life without?
