Debut Author of Next Step
I'm so excited about my first published book coming out on Nov 5th. It is a devotional written for teen girls.
I began writing it four years ago when I realized the message women internalized that they are not enough begins way before they are grown-ups. I wanted to reach them before the culture fills them with negative ideas about themselves.
I became a Christian at 17 and had no one to teach me how to act like one, what to do next... I had no idea.
"Next Step" is a teen girl 4-week devotional with advice, prayers, explanation of "churchy" words, journal prompts, quotes, and stories. There are videos and a private FB Group for the reader to connect with me, the author, and other teen girls.
This book is a love letter to teen girls as if I'm walking alongside of them. There are quotes from women ages 20-70ish about what they would like to have known when they were younger. They are truly Titus 2 women of faith.
My hope is this book will be a guide as teengirls discover and decide who they are in this world. I've created video links to go along with each week to encourage them a little more.
Next Step. You've Accepted Jesus ... Now What? is written to do alone, with a mentor, or in a group setting. If you are a teen girl or know one, tell them they'll want to get two Next Step books - one for them and one for a friend!
Hope you enjoy the book!

It's getting real!
Hey!
This past week I uploaded my book to Amazon. I can hardly wait to get the proof copy - the one with the strip across the cover.
I'm working on being a good leader of my book launch team. Hope it turns out well.
I never realized how unsettling prompting a book could be. lol This week I'm hoping to reach out to youth groups and high schools. I'll let you know how that turns out!
Take care.

I received my proof book!
I'm so excited to see this manuscript coming to life more and more each day!
This past week I received my proof book from Amazon. To feel your work in your hands is very rewarding, however, to know it will be in the reader's hands is indescribable. I hope this devotional for teen girls will bless the readers!
