That's the working title. Pregnant Prayers. More than likely, it will be changed to something very, very long. PP is my WIP (work-in-progress). Someday, I'll write out the story of how it came to be. In a nutshell, it's a gift book (think Hallmark or baby shower, but hopefullly less cheesy), and Howard Books is publishing it. My manuscript is due Feb. 15, and the book will release in March of '09. It's a really cool concept. Kind of a devotional, kind of not. It takes you through all 40 weeks of pregnancy with all sorts of neat elements. It's interactive and dynamic and even has original drawings of a baby in utero. Don't worry--they hired an illustrator. I have no delusions about my artistic ability. I can do words, and that's where it stops. It's different than anything I've done before, and I'm excited. Pregnancy is an unparalleled time in a person's (woman's) life, and I'm having fun writing about the whole phenomenon. Funny, I haven't the slightest desire to be pregnant though. Three times was a charm for me. Back to the loooooooong title that will probably make it on the front cover of the final product. I've written three books--From Blushing Bride to Wedded Wife, Is That All He Thinks About?, and Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time. Do you see a trend? 6 words, 6 words, 8 words. The title of my 4th book could have ELEVEN words. Eek. Oh well. I'm not complaining. I love what I do. Love it. |
