Blog Book Tour Day 6
I'm down south today, dishing with fellow author, Mary DeMuth, in Texas, where it's a whopping 67 - 75 degrees during the day. I'm a little relieved, to be honest. It's been a cold, blustery week here in the Seattle area.
I met Mary a couple years ago at the Mount Hermon Christian Writers' Conference in California. She and I are both friends with the one and only, Chip MacGregor. And while she and I haven't spent a lot of time together, I've gotten to know Mary better through her excellent blogs: Pioneer Parenting, Relevantblog, and her website, RelevantProse (okay . . . .I have a serious case of "coveting thy neighbor's website" thing going).
Mary's written a variety of books, the most interesting and exciting news is that she writes both fiction and nonfiction, a rarity I'm told by those in the business. The fact that I've written three nonfiction books and am currently working on a novel makes me stand in awe of the likes of Ms. DeMuth (actually I point my finger her direction and say things like, "But, she does it - I'm just sure I could do it too. I think. Maybe").
Mary's latest nonfiction book is titled, Building the Christian Family You Never Had: A Practical Guide for Pioneer Parents:
