Yes, I’m already on a wait list for Mr. Shadid’s book. And now, Marie Colvin. When will this craziness end?

I would also recommend the Maisie Dobb mysteries by Jaqueline Winspears. Maisie Dobbs starts as a housekeeper in a home like Downton Abbey and moves out on her own with the support of the lady of the house. Same time period.

Nice comments, Barbara. A nice tribute to Shadid, the two-time Pulitzer winner appeared in the recent ROLLING STONE weekly online update. Author called Shadid the finest current writer of foreign affairs. He is not likely to get much argument.

Comment on Genre Spotlight | Christian Fiction: A Born-Again Genre by Molly

Would have loved to see some mention of middle grade Christian fiction–there are some great titles coming out for ages 9-12 that are awesome reads for parents and kids to read together or for kids to read alone. If that 9-12 age group doesn’t learn to love fiction and reading and Christian fiction now, it will leave far fewer readers in the future….

Great article with wide coverage of the CBA market. I found this an interesting article and one I will refer back to. Thank you for the amount of work it must have taken to produce such a comprehensive article. Blessings!

As an intuitive I was pleased to see a psychic portrayed in a positive light in “The Psychic and the Sleuth”

A couple of facets are missing from the article. The number of Christian Speculative writers working through other small Christian presses like Splashdown Books and the Digital Dragon’s new imprint. And those of us whose Christian Speculative have been picked up by secular houses.

My own book ‘Winter Awakening’ was published by WolfSinger Publications, a secular house. My publisher is now waiting for the next two in the series, along with a paranormal. They already have my next book ‘God’s Gift’.

I’ve also heard of other Christian Speculative writers getting picked up by other secular houses despite the Christian themes and characters in their books.

There is a market for this genre and it’s exploding!

Just a correction: Phil Spector never had anything to do with The Everly Brothers. As far as I know they never worked together on anything. Maybe you were thinking of The Rightous Brothers.

Dear Cheryl,

I feel awed about your accomplishments. Awesome indeed! I was browsing through the library journal e-news and got your information from the link ” Free ALA TechSource webinar. Unfortunately, it was over.
I’m a 61 yrs old (turning 62 on March 2) librarian from the Philippines and I am teaching Advance Library and Information Management in one of the universities here offering library science course.
I would like to correspond with you and would seek your good advice and experience regarding using and searching various electronic library resources specially those for free since we hardly can afford the high price of subscribing to them.
I hope that you’ll find time to answer my email.
Thank you and best regards,

Sincerely yours,
Dick Orense
