Now that is just totally cool! Great job, Chris!!! So, are we going to be reviewing your book at Christian Fiction Blog Alliance or what? Have you talked to TL Hines about it?

Congrats again. Wonderful!

(Oh, I just posted pictures from that Star Trek Mystery Party)

Thanks for the props!

As for a blog tour, Forgiving Solomon Long was actually the very first Christian Fiction Blog Alliance tour back in July. See the results here: http://forgivingsolomonlong.com/media2

As for Deliver Us From Evelyn, there are already many authors lined up for future blog tours. But Tony and I are discussing a secret project for later in the year ...

(I have already said too much.)

Hmmmm...inquiring minds want to know...or maybe I know a little now. Hee hee.

Actually ... you don't. (The thing I emailed you about is a completely different secret thing.)

By the way, AWESOME homemade TREK costumes and decor!

Hey, congrats about the nomination! I read it for CFBT, and I thought it was pretty good. I didn't know you had a new one out, but I think I'll see if my library can get it.
