Hi Reader Friends,

Thank you for walking with me on this journey. I appreciate the time many of you took to share your ideas on the cover. We considered every suggestion. Drumroll…………

Derinda Babcock, the talented graphic designer, did a fabulous job of creating a cover that conveys hope, with the heirloom roses pushing through the picket fence, and also the feel of Weldon. We went with roses because my maternal grandmother’s name was Rose. I wish she and my mom were here to read my stories. Maybe, there’s a library in heaven.

I hope you love it. The new release date is April 1, 2022. I’ll let you know when it goes up for pre-order. Also, the first book in the  Weldon Series, Every Window Filled with Light,  will be on sale one week prior to the release of Every Day Filled with Hope. Even though both books stand alone, you don’t want to miss the first book of the Weldon series.

If you would like to be in the Weldon Fan club, please send a PRIVATE email to shelia@sheliastovall.com. The Weldon Fan Club is really my launch team. You’ll have the chance to win prizes and also be a part of a closed Facebook group and learn more about me and my hopes for Weldon. I’ll also share deleted scenes. Weldon Fan Club members will be asked to buy Every Day Filled with Hope, write a review on Amazon and other sites, and share memes or quotes that I will create on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. The number one requirement is that you LOVE Weldon and are willing to tell others. Thank you for considering.

I’m still having a hard time taking in that Every Window Filled with Light is up for two Selah awards. My publisher used the word, “Incredible,”  Another award-winning author friend said, “Amazing to be in the running for a best book award for your first book, but very well deserved.” I won’t share her name as she was just sending a note as a supportive friend.

I feel like God is winking at me and saying, “I told you to trust that I have a good plan for your writing. Now, don’t get the big head, and get back to work on the next book. I have a good plan for that too.”  

If there is anything good in my work, it’s because He whispered it in my ear. I’m just a little broken twig in His hands. He is revealing an amazing story in book three. Even though it’s Spark’s story, Emma and Luke have walked into the scene and I am slack-jawed. I keep saying, “I had no idea.” There is no way I could have come up with this story on my own,

Thank you for your support and encouragement. Please let me know if you have a prayer request. I am honored when you ask me to pray for you. It’s the most important thing I do.

Take care, dear ones.

Warm regards,

Shelia
