Dear
Friends,
I’m finally surfacing
after some massive deadlines and can now send along these fun updates from
the world of Frodo, Bilbo, Edmund Pevensie, and Elizabeth Bennet (hmm,
it’s getting crowded around here!).
-
Dating Mr. Darcy:
The Smart Girl’s Guide to Sensible Romance is now available through my ►website. I’m one of the few booksellers carrying it at
the moment—just in time for graduation, too! Summer book events and
signings are shaping up even now, so check the ►schedule for updates.
-
Walking with
Frodo is nearing the 100,000
mark with almost 90,000 copies in print as of the seventh printing this
spring. Bilbo is rambling along his merry way as well. I couldn’t
ask for better literary companions on this writing
adventure.

Visit ►www.hollywoodjesus.com for
reviews of several books in Tyndale’s “thirsty?” line (scroll down to
“Upcoming Movies”), including my forthcoming youth devotional Walking
through the Wardrobe. Inspired by
C. S. Lewis’s classic fantasy
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the book is due for release
just prior to the blockbuster movie this Christmas. While you’re
waiting, I highly recommend ►www.narniaweb.com for fun movie
updates.
-
Speaking of Lewis, fans
will want to mark their calendars for the third annual Northern Michigan
C. S. Lewis Festival this fall: ►www.cslewisfestival.org. Even
though I’ll be living in North Carolina by that time (my husband starts
his three-year MDiv program at Duke University Divinity School), I’ll be
back for the kick-off weekend Oct. 28-30 and for the Nov. 1 guest
appearance of Douglas Gresham, stepson of Lewis and co-producer of the
Narnia film. I hope you’ll join us!
-
Finally, I’d like to
toot the horn of my friend and fellow author, Kris Rasmussen, who’s just
published  a really fun youth devo entitled
►Wonka
Mania, inspired by Roald
Dahl’s classic children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
There’s a lot of buzz about Johnny Depp starring in the new movie this
July, so it’s perfect timing. Please spread the word to all the youth
workers and teens you know. Thanks!
My newsletters are pretty
sporadic, so I'm thinking about creating a blog pretty soon. Meanwhile,
feel free to sign up for my online book ►discussion
group and post your thoughts. I enjoy hearing from
you!
Blessings,

“This is spring.”
