It's here at last, launching on October 15th! Come read about this wonderful anthology, Warriors Against The Storm benefitting @maryweberauthor on today's Thorn & Vine Blog (link in bio!) I wanted to share some good news and thank you all for your prayers and support the last several months especially! As some of you know, I’ve been working on fundraisers for a dear author friend who lost her home and wellness to mold poisoning. As a wildfire survivor who’s had to rebuild her own life, I couldn’t just sit by and watch as Mary Weber and her family dealt with so much. So, I reached out to friends and over time we built a big team—and the team has just done something AMAZING. It has been so intense and interesting watching MUCH more than we expected happen with every little step. When we started last fall, I thought the Weber’s Warriors would be supporting Mary’s GoFundMe on social media, and then a fun giveaway with her writing friends emerged and was supported well in the writing community. It helped raise a lot of awareness for her fundraiser. At the same time, not one but TWO publishers came forward to help organize an anthology competition to benefit Mary Weber. They offered to handle the work and logistics and give the profits to her. ALL of them. What a great idea! So, author Lauren Brandenburg and I jumped in with both feet and swam in the deep end—getting lots of details tended to amidst Lauren’s book launches and pushes and my deadlines and two family surgeries. And then COVID virus hit and we thought….it will take God to actually pull this off. Will people submit their stories if we still build this? Behind the scenes, we asked what to do. But we all decided to continue to press on with the project. And then…such joy!
