D-Day’s A Comin’

You know how your internet homepage always has the headlines of a few news articles posted for your viewing pleasure? Well when I logged on this afternoon I was greeting with the following “news story”: Jesus May Have Walked On Ice: Jesus walked on water, according to the Bible, but a Florida State University professor says he may have actually walked on a hard-to-see patch of ice.

So my question is this: is the sole purpose of this article to piss off religious Christians and make non-believers feel superior or am I missing something? Seriously, this in not headline news. Arguing about whether or not Jesus walked on water is like arguing about Mary’s Immaculate Conception: believers will always say that Jesus was the result of a Virgin birth and non-Christians will always disagree, so why even bother discussing it?

Since I’m not all that interested in exercises in futility I’ll talk about something else: I got the finished books of Passion, Betrayal And Killer Highlights yesterday!!! The UPS guy apparently didn’t feel like ringing the doorbell so I didn’t even know they were on my front porch until my friend Annie came over for a visit. I opened the door and there she was standing next to three brown boxes with my name on it. “It’s not you’re birthday, is it?” she asked.

“Nope,” I answered, “but it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”

And the early reviews are still coming in and they’re all great! Plus Passion Betrayal And Killer Highlights will be receiving some wonderful coverage this summer from some of my favorite magazines so I’m happy dancing all over the place.

Of course high profile reviews are only capable of giving me an initial boost; it’s the reader’s opinions that will actually determine the success or failure of my book. Will I meet all of your expectations? Will I make you laugh out loud? Will it be good enough to recommend to friends and bookclubs and inspire positive Amazon reviews? I don’t know the answer to these questions yet but I’m hopeful and there’s nothing more exhilarating than hope.
