Recapping 2009 and What's coming in 2010

Hey all!
It's been a long time since I've blogged. But It seemed like a good time to get back to it.
2009 zipped by so fast I can't believe it's already 2010.
And just for the record I'm in the "two-thousand ten" camp, rather than "twenty-ten" I just think it sounds better.

The best fiction book I read in 2009 was The Help. Excellent debut novel by Kathryn Stockett. This is a secular book, so if you buy it on my recommendation, please be aware that it may contain language and subject matter you may or may not find objectionable.

Best non-fiction. I haven't read many, to be perfectly honest. But John Eldredge has caught my attention this past year. His book "Walking With God", came to me at a time when, quite frankly, I was questioning everything in my life: writing, church affiliation, calling, marriage. His open-faced vulnerability and willingness to share his real self to further God's agenda really spoke to me even though I can't say I'm in total agreement with every thought he wrote out. He sort of reminds me of Keith Green. Right now I'm reading his book "Desire". So far, so good.

Be looking for "Tandem" my second vampire novel for the Christian market. This will release in October and I'm very excited! "Thirsty" released this past October and is doing well. Look for it in Target!

2010 is shaping up to be another busy year. Besides Tandem, I'll be releasing a book under a pen name for Summerside Press. Look for Love Finds you in Deadwood by Tracey Cross. August 2010.

My husband is deploying again in a few days and we're so proud of him. Please keep him in your prayers.

God Bless you as you Live for Him!
Peace~
Tracey
