you love about this book
As you’ll learn from
Signs in Life, I’m not the best driver. Imagine having a book’s worth of driving
antics! Your followers will be glad they’re states away!
I’ve always felt God’s
direction. I’ve always believed in His guidance. Have I always listened? Have I
always seen the signs? No! But looking back, I’ve learned that God not only
directs, but redirects. He’s connected my own silliness and misadventures to
bigger, more important lessons in life.
In the book, we travel
with Moses. Never did I expect to be strapping on a pair of sandals to journey
together, but what a journey we take, that we all take. Remembering the
Israelites’ trek to the Promised Land, let me add that I’ve never known the
brutality of slavery or been forced from my home. I’ve never had to walk through
a desert, never been nomadic. I don’t camp for goodness sakes! Still God’s
traveled with all of us, meeting us wherever we are and wherever we’re going.
· Can you share
something unique that you learned during the writing and publishing of this
book?
After writing my first
book, Fruit of My Spirit, I expected this second book to come even easier. In
many ways it was harder. Wanting to get better and better as a writer, I
connected with a new editor. She took one look at an early draft and groaned, “I
don’t know where to begin!” We began chapter by chapter, paragraph by paragraph,
sentence by sentence. It was hard. At times it was miserably hard. But together
we slogged through rewrites.
· What's coming
down the road for you?
My third writing
adventure is a Christmas book. I’m putting together another inspirational
memoir, this time sharing stories about the gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh. Not only did the Christ child receive unique gifts, but we have
also—throughout life.
· About Deanna:
Signs in Life is my second book. My “day job” is with The Planner’s Edge, an investment advisory firm in Washington State. The boss and I have been together for 25 years. Today I’m his Client Service Coordinator. I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of his practice and working with his clients. And since I telecommute, I have even more time to write! I live in Monroe, Washington in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I’m the mother of two delightful young men, one who has read the books and one who has decided they’re just way more information about Mom than he needs at this point in life. I’m active in my church, serving on the Leadership Team and playing the violin during worship services. I love to knit, I adore chocolate, and most important I enjoy a blessed marriage to my best friend, Kurt.

Thanks, Lisa! I enjoyed this chance to reconnect with you and your followers. This week I'm recovering from knee replacement surgery. More antics to be sure!
ReplyDeleteDelighted! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
DeleteThanks Lisa! I stumbled upon your blog searching for new book suggestions. This is great. I really appreciate the suggestion! Your review has swayed me. I’ll have to check out Signs in Life.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to pass along one my pastor recommended to me. It’s the #1 bestseller on religious fiction, so maybe you’ve already heard of it. But I can’t stop thinking about. It’s a fantastic collection of short stories. It’s called Pieces Like Pottery. I really can’t recommend it enough. I would love to see your review of it at some point!
Thanks for stopping in.
ReplyDeleteOf course! I appreciate the review.
