It’s about time I have a full length novel available, huh? I find it hard to believe it’s been a year and a half since Deceiver was released. Hopefully, from now on I will have one or two books to release per year. Believe me, I have so many stories already written in my head that all I need is the time to sit down and write them.

This past 18 months has been spent getting my bearings, learning some new skills, and honing my craft. I like that – honing. 🙂 Now, I’m ready to get some writing done and new stories released.

Our team has been brainstorming and looking for the best way to reach more readers in the future. Since what I write is most often stories that will lead the heart to Jesus, we genuinely consider this ministry. Many of you have contacted me with stories of how a particular story has urged you into a closer walk with Jesus. You can’t possibly imagine what your stories mean to me. I read them every one and cry over some.

Consider it from my standpoint: I sit here and face a screen and peck away at a keyboard. It’s easy to forget there are minds and hearts out there that are being impacted for the Kingdom. What else can that be but ministry? I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives – if even from my quiet office.

In order to reach more readers, a few things need to happen:

One, tell your friends about what you read if you like a particular story. Direct them to lisaheatonbooks.com or Amazon for purchase. Word of mouth is the very best way to develop a following.

Two, for the print and Kindle books you have read, reviews on Amazon are helpful. Those good reviews help others decide to read.

Finally, pray for wisdom for us. It’s so easy to get tunnel vision and do things one way for so long that it becomes difficult to see new opportunities. Prayer is always appreciated.

If you decide to purchase A Thousand Blessings, share your thoughts here on the site through the contact form. We would love to hear back from you and maybe even use your review, whole or in part, to do some promotions.

Thanks for your encouragement and support. I hope you enjoy Isabel’s story.

Blessings to you,
Lisa

This time last year, I was set to begin a new novel that would end up being a true blessing to me. Honestly, after coming off writing a book as emotionally charged and raw as Deceiver, I needed to escape into a fantasy world. That’s exactly what A Thousand Blessings became to me. Even as I reread it now in preparation for this release, I get lost in the love triangle, yell at their idiotic decisions, and sigh in contentment at the ending.

I debated long and hard about publishing this novel as I usually do through print and Kindle versions. Ultimately, I have chosen to release as a PDF only. It’s just too different from what I normally write, and I wonder how it will be received by new readers. Too, because it’s a fantasy kingdom based setting, one with no set time period, I fear that historical junkies will balk at its vagueness. This is just a place conjured up purely in my imagination with people who can’t seem to get it right when it comes to love.

You will also notice, I couldn’t sprinkle Scripture throughout this story as I’m prone to do. In those days people didn’t have access to the Word in print as we do now, so to include it would be out of context with even a vague time period. But you better believe God shows up to guide this poor misguided girl.

So that’s my reasoning: It’s not typical of my writing and I fear disappointing. But you, if you’re reading this, may just want to give it a chance. Come on, $2.99 is cheaper than a cup of coffee the lady in green sells. It can’t hurt to try.

Proceeds of this book will go toward editing for the next Kindle release. That’s my goal, to have a new novel on Kindle by the end of 2017. So as easy as it would be to simply forward your PDF version to a friend, I ask that you direct them here to my site for their own copy instead.

About the book:

Travel with Princess Isabel as she journeys to an unknown land to
marry Colin, a widowed king. Elias, the king’s trusted commander, accompanies Isabel to her new home. When faced with peril along the way, the greater danger is the fondness that develops between the two. Isabel must choose between her heart and duty, while Elias decides if he will fight for the woman he loves or honor his king and kingdom.
