A dream has come true for me this week! For over five years I have been working on my book tentatively titled, Everyone Loves Sex: So Why Wait? About six months or so ago, I signed with a reputable agent (an answer to prayer), and today I have signed with Leafwood Publishers (another answer to prayer)!

Leafwood Publishers is an imprint of Abilene Christian University Press where New York Times Best Selling author, Max Lucado is an alumnus–and is still connected with today. A little bit more about Leafwood publishers:

“In 2010, ACU Press became a full member of the Association of American Presses, making ACU the only college/university in the CCCU, and within the churches of Christ, to have a recognized academic university press. ACU Press titles have been endorsed by prominent figures such as Ken Starr, Eugene Peterson, Rick Warren, Jimmy Carter and Walter Brueggemann.” (Source)

I could not be happier! I never knew writing a book, getting a literary agent, and signing with a publisher would be this challenging. If God wasn’t behind this endeavor, I’m sure I would have stopped years ago. To all those who have encouraged me to stay the course, to not give up, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your kind, encouraging words have meant more than you will know.

If my wife, Caz, was not absolutely supportive, I would not be at this stage in this process. She is an amazing wife and mom, and allows me the freedom I need to research and write. She has sacrificed time, energy, and sleep for me to pursue this dream.

Well…I have a deadline to meet. I have to finish a chapter and write one more by the end of this month. I welcome your prayers!

God Bless!
