Dog Days of Summer

It’s hot here in Texas. The dog days of summer. Except for water parks and pools, everyone and everything has slowed to a crawl. With the heat the way it is, I imagine August will only be worse. So there won’t be too much writing for a while.

On a positive note, Amazon has reported that its sales for e-books have surpassed sales for hardcovers. That’s good news for my book on scriptural healing. I’ve written about three-quarters of a first draft and believe that I’ll have the book done by Christmas (due to some office moves and such, I’m a little bit behind schedule). My original idea was to publish it as a Kindle book and Amazon’s news makes me look like I’m smarter than the average bear (I’ve emailed a few ministries who are into publishing and they told me that they didn’t have any plans to move their books to an electronic format. What’s with that?).

Once I revise my draft (my wife’s given the okay to the first two chapters), I plan to post some excerpts here. Look for those around the first of September.

One other thing I plan to do in the fall is revisit the Jesus-born-again scriptures (I also have about another 30 up my sleeve). This time, instead of just re-posting, I’m going to work them over and get them book-ready. I want to turn those into some kind of e-book so they don’t just die in the archives.
