For Some Reason ...

Part V of "What Made You Switch From General Market to Inspirational?"

This is where the stories start blending together. Rather than rewrite my earlier post, click here for the skinny on how Bride found its way from my shelf and into the hands of a Christian publisher.

The part of the story I left out of my earlier post is this: I never used to read that particular trade magazine. I was so busy with work, it would go straight from the mailroom to the trash can. Except for that one day in April when the magazine came across my desk and "for some reason" (this is what I refer to as a "God thing"), I opened it up and started flipping through the pages one by one.

The title of the article "Fiction on the Edge" took up HALF the page. So, no way could I miss it.

I now faithly read that magazine cover-to-cover every single month.

"And now you know ... the rest of the story." --Paul Harvey

Tomorrow we will address our last (but not least) Menu selection. "How Has Bride Been Received By the Christian Industry?"

Thanks for sharing all this great stuff. I always enjoy hearing how other authors have "broken in".

Thanks for the welcome, Deeanne. I actually haven't set up a blog yet ... just named one. :-) Maybe someday!
