Thank you Kelsey for all you've done!

Hero Showdown!

ANNOUNCING...

The Hero Showdown!

Captain Wesley Elliot

versus:




King Aramoth!

How it works:
Leave a comment asking any questions you like pertaining to either of these characters, regardless of whether or not you have read the books. (If you haven't, be sure to order one by e-mailing us at khprovidence.1@verizon.net !)

When a sufficient number of questions have been submitted via comments, I will add some of my own and write a post comparing the hero of The Teacher and the hero of The Tiphereth Trilogy. There will then be a poll so that you can vote for your favorite!

If the "Hero Showdown" idea is at all popular, I may have other Hero showdowns comparing other characters in the books, possibly including Aramiel vs. Maria Dalton, Eleutheria vs. Faith Elliot, Gwynarae vs. Mrs. Elliot, Hiram Grady vs. The Enemy, and so on!

Be sure to comment with good questions!

Imagine you are interviewing the two heroes for a panel discussion...:)

Dripping...

I've been going through my poetry notebook and found all sorts of "scribblings" some terrible and so copied and others not half bad.  I've decided to post some of these over the next few weeks.  Even though the quality of the poetry can sometimes barely be considered poetry still the concepts are rather uplifting, I think.  Actually I'm just looking forward to putting pictures that go with the theme!

Dripping
Dripping, dripping, dripping,
though it is not raining,

Everything is wet,
although it has not rained,
the sun is brightly shining,
yet it is quite cold,

With every little drip
happiness gushes up in our hearts.  Why?



Because the snow is melting,
Because Winter is over,

And every drip of melting snow
Brings the happiness of Spring!

The next poem will be about Roses.:)  By the way, these were all written over the years and some are much older than others, the ones with more sophisticated language are more recent.

I saw this video on Ah, The Life, http://www.ahthelife.blogspot.com/ .  I thought it was really funny.  I love how the one baby laughs after the other one says something, and I love the hand motions.  It really looks like they are having an important conversation!

And the countdown begins.

Proof-reading completed!

I have completed the lengthy process of reading my proofs!

When you write a book, and you know what happens, and then you read it a whole lot of times, it is no longer interesting and is difficult to read and correct.  Because you know what you meant to say, it can be hard to catch corrections.

This picture happens to be one of my all-time favorite paintings.

After I find the corrections I have to mark them and send the proofs back.  I also have to send a new digital file and hard copy of the pages that were corrected.  The proofs have been mailed, and the estimated arrival date is Thursday.  If so, then counting 20 business days from Friday, my books will be done and shipped back to me.  Allowing 2 weeks for shipping,  they should be printing and in my hands by March 25th.  Perfect timing.  They may arrive sooner, but March 25th is the official release date.  Be sure to pre-order so you can get your copies ASAP!  E-mail us at khprovidence.1@verizon.net to order. 
Then hopefully, soon after March 25th, the long-awaited, much-expected, The Tiphereth Trilogy, will be in your hands and you will look like one of these pictures!

More updates to come!
