Wow that's awesome! I enjoy your style of writing, even if christian fiction isn't really my thing. Definetly inspiring to see someone of the ex-jw ilk can get published, maybe some more of us will persue this as well. I hope your book does well.

Thanks you guys for the Congrats and support! This is a dream come true for me, and proof that my world didn't crumble when I left the JWs. I think folk from my congregation and family were waiting for the heavens to open up and smite me! Hey Valis, thanks for the welcome, but I've been around for awhile :) I haven't posted in months, but I always read the board. Love you guys.

Congrats, Tiffany. Your writing style is lively and the characters are vivid. I'm not at all surprised that you were able to get it published. I'm having a little bit of trouble seeing Troy from her viewpoint, though. I mean, a 6-year-old can make a peanut-butter sandwich. I used to keep a "snack shelf" for my kids when they were very young, stocked with foods they could manage by themselves, where they could reach it. That way they didn't have to go hungry just because Dad was writing a new song and Mom was working on her novel...But now I'm rambling...
Troy sounds just like my husband, except mine supported the family for 25 years first, and didn't fill the living room with music machines until he'd been making serious money for a while. He's been unemployed for a couple years though, through no particular fault of his own - so he gets to build music all day between bits of housecleaning.
And, you know, I love to kick back in the evening and listen to him play. It means he's in his right mind, so all's well with the world.

Of course my family (ALL JWs) are agahst that I write Christian fiction. They don't plan to purchase my book, because of course, that would be supporting 'Christendom'.
Well, of course. Every JW knows that any ex-JW who publishes a book makes billions of dollars off it (like Ray Franz, for example). And since you are publishing Christian fiction, all of those billions will go to support "the churches" TM . You'll probably have a new layer of gold leaf added to the Vatican dome.
Seriously, though, congratulations!

Hey Tiffany,
It wasn't until this morning I was able to take a look at your bio and first chapter. The links for both your name and book title take me to "Rev. "Dr. Renita J. Weems" and the book title "What Matters Most". Is this you or are the links messed up?
Best regards,
Bryan

Bryan,
It seems that it does happen sporadically when you put my name in the author's block. I have informed the webmaster of that site. In the meantime if you scroll to the bottom of the page on the right you may click on the picture of my book and it takes you to my page! Thanks.
Tiffany
