Once again, we’re celebrating the good news authors have received. Give a High Five!! to the following for their accomplishments:

Jerusha Agen signed a three-book contract with Write Integrity Press for Sisters Redeemed, a contemporary fiction series. The series will debut in August 2013 with the first novel This Dance.

Mary Ellis has been blessed to have her novel Love Comes to Paradise, Book 2 of the New Beginnings series, nominated for a 2013 Lime Award by the Christian Manifesto. Living in Harmony, Book 1, won the 2012 Lime Award for Excellence in Amish Fiction.

Maureen Lang celebrates with cover designers Beth Sparkman and Stephen Vosloo from Tyndale Publishers.

Janalyn Voight shares two items of good news this month. On March 12, she’s scheduled for an interview on Alive in Christ radio to discuss how to live an examined life. The show begins at 7 pm. During her segment, which begins shortly after the 8:30 mark, she’ll talk about how the allegory in her epic fantasy novel, DawnSinger, pertains to living with purpose. Also, DawnSinger has been chosen as a March selection by the ACFW book club. She tells us, “There’s still time to read it before the discussion begins March 20th.”

Congratulations to all these writers for receiving recognition for their hard work!
