Hello friends!

My first ever e-newsletter is finally here (or there).

Updates on my writing stuff:
You can now preorder autographed copies of my book Walking With Frodo: A Devotional Journey Through The Lord of the Rings (by "thirsty(?)," a young adult division of Tyndale House Publishers) on my website ►www.saraharthur.com. The book releases in mid-November, so I should be able to get your copies to you by December 1. (This is not for resale, by the way.) Bonus: The website features a larger ►picture of the cover, including a Hobbit foot which is now hairy enough to pass inspection. (Ew!) Also, I make more money off the books you buy from me directly than from the ones you buy in the store, so keep that in mind as you shop. Thanks!

Our local newspaper, the Petoskey News Review, did an article about me during Easter week. That article is also posted on the ►website. Ignore the statements about me being "from Muskegon." For the record, I WAS born there in the midst of two rather depressing years in my parents’ life, but we escaped shortly thereafter to happier (and cleaner-smelling) climes. The rest of the article was pretty good. (Yeah, like I actually studied at Oxford. HIS mistake, not mine!)

Tyndale and I are in discussion about several more possibilities in their new "thirsty(?)" line, about which I’m very excited. My friend Kris Rasmussen and I are working on a possible project involving Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time quartet, and I’ve been asked to submit sample material for a book of fantasy for Tyndale to consider. EXCELLENT! I’m having fiction-writing angst, but it will pass.

Links I like:
Image magazine, "A Journal of the Arts and Religion." I find its features and resources fascinating: ►www.imagejournal.org

Great books I’ve read recently:
A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle; The Alphabet of Grace, by Frederick Buechner; Out of the Silent Planet and Till We Have Faces, by C.S. Lewis; Saint Maybe, by Anne Tyler; The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver.

That’s all for now. Blessings!
