I just ordered two books online today and don’t know when I’ll have time to read them. Yikes! I’d love to read your work, but it’ll have to wait a bit before I have time.

Thanks for writing, Danie! I hope the publisher takes it. I went the route of traditional publishing for many years and finally decided to self publish. It has been so freeing and wonderful! I published my first book, Sirocco, with Xulon Press, a Christian publisher, but I was not happy with their customer service. I published Mistral with Xlibris, not a Christian publisher, but I was very pleased with the finished product and with the way they treated me. Now I have all five of my books published through Create Space with Amazon. This is a free self publishing service and the books turn out great. I can offer them to my customers for a fraction of the price. Let me know if you’d like more information.

Please check out my website! What do you write? I have written two historical novels set in France and Palestine during the days of the Crusaders, Sirocco Wind from the East and Mistral Wind from the North. This is a series– I’m working on the third book in the series right now. The mystery book will be a series, too, featuring Gina Lindsey as the detective. Then I’ve written a mystery series for teen girls, featuring Jodi Fischer and her friend Lexie Marshal. I wrote these about 20 years ago and Moody Press published them. Then they went out of print and just recently I rewrote the first two books and got them published.

Let me hear from you. I am interested to know where you’re at in your writing and what you write.
Thanks!

Spending time with the Lord each day has become my habit and joy. The most important step is my relationship with Him. Nothing else matters if He doesn’t come first. Perseverance in anything is also key to success. I’m persevering in my relationship with him, others, and my writing and speaking ventures. I’d better get busy and work on that letter to a publisher I hope will take my hook and run with it!

Dear Danie,
Thanks for your reply! I am really just a fictional character in my creator’s book, Deadlocked: A Gina Lindsey Mystery, written by Virginia Ann Work and published in Dec. 2011. If you’d like to read the book, you can order it from Amazon or from myself. (see How to Order Page) I (Virginia Ann Work) to bring interest and discussion about Gina’s new life in Christ, which is why I had her ask the question about baptism. I’m very glad you took the time to answer. If you’ve been to my website (www.virginiaawork.com) then I you know I’ve written fiction novels that you might enjoy reading. I will check out your website.

Thanks again for writing. Your answers were RIGHT ON! God Bless.
Virginia Ann Work

Hi Gina,
About baptism. I’m glad you asked. There’s no real mystery here. The purpose of baptism is to show your identity in Christ as his child, His follower. It’s an open confession of your faith in Him. When baptised, the pastor will say, “Buried with Christ in baptism,” as he dunks you, and as your raised out of the water, he says, “And raised to new life in Christ.” Water baptism is a symbol of Christ death and resurrection. If you haven’t been baptised, I’d encourage you to do it. Baptism doesn’t save us, but like I said, it’s an outward confession of our faith in Him. It sounds like you’re a new Christian. Linda Molinari gave me your name and site address. I’m also a writer and a speaker. If you’re needing help in your walk with the Lord, follow my blog: daniemariesmusings.blogspot.com
