This is the moment every aspiring author, including me, dreams of. Their first published novel. I couldn't be happier than to see it happen to Kelly Hoose Johnson. She has been a member of my writing group for two years now, and she has serious talent.
A number of months ago, Marilyn Bunderson (another published member of our writing group) informed us of a short story writing contest by Cedar Fort. Kelly entered and while her story wasn't chosen to be included in an anthology of short Christmas stories, something even better happened. Cedar Fort decided to publish it as a stand-alone short story. Her book is now available on Amazon.com for pre-order. I've ordered mine--have you?
The Window Builder has all the trappings of a Hallmark holiday movie special. You won't be disappointed. Congratulations Kelly! And I have to say . . . I LOVE the cover.

That's my wife! Keep at it Ben, your book is next.
I'm Kelly's mom, and as such, I know how much she has wanted this moment for most of her life. I also know that she has greatly appreciated all of the help that she has received from you and the other members of the writing group. She trusts your input immensely. I wish you well in your publication efforts!
I can't wait until it comes out. I've got a couple of people on my Christmas list that will definitely be getting this!
