Authors in Book 1 - Hobbies/Pastimes Challenge

[Deb Porter]

Lillian, if we are unable to contact a particular author, then there will be a gap for that topic in the book. So I will put out a call for Gold and Platinum members to submit articles (same size as Challenge entries) on that specific topic.

When I said a special Challenge, I didn't mean a literal Challenge. But this open invitation would be a nice way to open the door to some of our newer Gold and Platinum members.

I don't anticipate a huge number of vacancies, but there may be one or two in every book.

Love, Deb

[Deb Porter]

And I should add that the first release form has arrived back today! (Way to go, Ann!)

Love, Deb

[Laurie]

Will watch for my release to arrive.

[Deb Porter]

Won't be long, Laurie. This week just went a bit pear-shaped.

(Elderly mother with a new computer ... say no more.)

Back to normal now.

Love, Deb

I wasn't a member back in 2007, but I'm just so excited about the Faithwriter authors who will be in this book. Congratulations to all! And again, Deb, you just do such a wonderful job. I hope you know that all of us here at Faithwriters look to you as an example of someone with God-given grace. I am amazed at what you get done and your wonderful attitude about things. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all that you do! blessings...laura

[Deb Porter]

Awww Laura, thank you.

I drop the ball over and over again , but members like you help me pick it up and keep going.

I'm really excited about seeing the release of this first book of the new series.

Love, Deb

All the release/agreement forms have gone out by email (with just a few bounces back so far). If you are in the list of authors but have not received an email from me, please let me know straight away.

Love, Deb

[Mo]

Cool. That's my one & only EC.

Deb, I have not received any emails about this. (I just pop in here occasionally to see what's up.) I updated my e-mail in my profile here on the boards & on the site. As always, thanks for all you do!

[Deb Porter]

MO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe you're here. I've been trying to track you down (your account at FaithWriters may have been one of the ones hit by a hacker two years ago. You need to change your profile over there and your password), and I couldn't find any "Mo" here on the boards. If your email address is the same as the one here in forums, I'll get you the documents straight away.

You have NO idea how happy you've made me.

Love, Deb

Love, Deb

[Sparrow]

Sorry. I'll get it out ASAP.

[Deb Porter]

No worries, Amy. I know where you are and wasn't overly concerned about you. It's the ones I may need to track down that I'm a little worried about.

Love, Deb

[tahinikid]

Sorry Deb, with my conscience pricked I was going to do it this evening but I can't find the email you sent me with the form.
Could you please resend?
Helen

[itsjoanne]

Gonna tag people on FB, like I did last time - see if I can get you some results (besides the folks who have already commented here! )
