A spontaneous focus group for my new upcoming book Encounters with the Ancients took place in my coffee shop yesterday. I was sitting next to two college students who were having a conversation about Jesus. So I asked them if they would read my new short story Teen Being Cyberbullied Meets Mary the Wife of Clopas. After they read it, I shared the concept for the book with them.

They liked the short story and the concept, so I asked if it was a book they would buy. They both quickly responded they would. So that small focus group of two happened at the right time for me. It gave me encouragement to keep doing the boring part of writing which is to go over things for editing. I sat down and edited all of the short stories that will be in the book.
This afternoon will be time to weave them together with the story teller. It looks like another coffee shop hangout is going to happen today after I meet with a few people at my church for English conversation group.
Thankfully I have already been through the process of uploading with Kindle/Amazon, so that part won’t take long. I might even have the book published next week.
So off to my church and then to my coffee shop aka my unofficial office.
What are your Saturday plans?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
