Um, 186 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:18,560 I believe the shadow of Death, I started in like 2016 187 00:12:21,380 --> 00:12:26,360 and I submitted it to seven. I got denies, 188 00:12:26,890 --> 00:12:31,150 um, letters saying that it wasn't good enough. Um, 189 00:12:32,930 --> 00:12:35,470 one wanted to change it, change the characters. 190 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:38,070 Apparently my main character's last name means something in Spanish. 191 00:12:38,070 --> 00:12:42,150 I have no idea what, um, and, 192 00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:46,350 and so on. So it took a long time for someone to actually pick it up, 193 00:12:46,350 --> 00:12:51,310 and I was so thankful when, um, Collins, um, said they would, 194 00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:53,990 and then they reviewed it and did some changes, 195 00:12:54,010 --> 00:12:58,870 but the changes had to fit their guidelines as well. And, um, 196 00:13:00,490 --> 00:13:02,780 then I, I did, um, 197 00:13:04,110 --> 00:13:08,640 cafe for Jesus in 2020 and, um, 198 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,600 which 2019 I started, it put 2020, 199 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,240 I submitted it again. It took a long time for, 200 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,960 for anyone to pick it up and, um, I'm glad to page and, um, 201 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,960 Colin Charper worked together on this to get it in to where it's at now, 202 00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:32,890 and it's in Bonds and Noble and Amazon and books are 203 00:13:32,890 --> 00:13:33,723 millions soon, 204 00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:38,010 and you can order it online and there's many of, 205 00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,330 of independent bookstores to, 206 00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:43,890 to advertising it online for the holidays 207 00:13:45,370 --> 00:13:46,203 discounted. 208 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,130 Sure. So there's still time to get those holiday orders in and, uh, 209 00:13:53,130 --> 00:13:55,730 and maybe give this as one of, uh, 210 00:13:55,870 --> 00:13:58,690 one of the up and coming gifts for this holiday season. 211 00:13:58,950 --> 00:14:03,530 You know? Yeah. It's a, it's a good read. Every, every um, 212 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,570 person that reads it to their children, they send it, um, find it funny and, 213 00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:11,170 and numerous, uh, and also with, with uh, um, 214 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,810 a message at the end that in today's society, 215 00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:22,130 it may not fit the norm, but, um, you know, 216 00:14:22,130 --> 00:14:26,250 putting Faith First is something that 217 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,650 I guess is not the norm of what's going on. 218 00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:36,053 So. 219 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,290 When you began writing the book, did, um, 220 00:14:39,390 --> 00:14:44,050 did that message stand out? Is that something that you thought, you know, 221 00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:48,010 if I'm going to write, uh, anything, I want to, uh, 222 00:14:48,010 --> 00:14:51,840 encompass kind of this sentiment in that book? 223 00:14:52,830 --> 00:14:56,200 Both books? Yes. And believe it or not, 224 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,000 I got some denials from publishing companies because 225 00:15:01,370 --> 00:15:04,000 of the faith. Now, 226 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,720 you can't mention certain things like scripture, 227 00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:12,600 but because of the faith background that's in the book and, 228 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,360 and, and the way it leads out, 229 00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:19,750 I got denied from a lot of companies that, well, 230 00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:22,190 if you did this or if you change it to that 231 00:15:23,790 --> 00:15:24,770 and to make it more. 232 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,610 They wanted to make it all almost more of a secular book. 233 00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:30,170 Right? Correct. 234 00:15:30,290 --> 00:15:34,610 And then to have any kind of faith based inspiration there. 235 00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:39,690 Exactly. Something more of a, um, 236 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,850 John Stanford or something in that realm instead of, 237 00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:48,970 um, the faith behind it. Um, 238 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,570 I mean, it is a, a suspense novel, 239 00:15:53,790 --> 00:15:58,530 but it doesn't get into the graphics of a Jackie Collins, 240 00:16:00,590 --> 00:16:05,370 you know? So, um, but uh, 241 00:16:05,370 --> 00:16:06,290 it is, it, 242 00:16:07,830 --> 00:16:12,170 the first book did well enough for them to ask 243 00:16:12,630 --> 00:16:13,370 for a second, 244 00:16:13,370 --> 00:16:17,730 and I thought that was surprise surprising 245 00:16:18,390 --> 00:16:23,330 and thankful, and I'm been blessed on both of them.

And, um, 324 00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:47,490 apparently I have something to why I'm still here. Something, 325 00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:54,330 um, they, they blessed me at Bonds and Noble, um, 326 00:21:54,330 --> 00:21:59,330 they gave me, um, the awards, um, from Bonds and Noble and, and I, 327 00:21:59,330 --> 00:22:03,570 and I was blessed with that.

Um, 329 00:22:07,420 --> 00:22:10,730 so apparently maybe the book itself 330 00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:16,580 would make a difference in someone's life. We renew the faith 331 00:22:18,780 --> 00:22:23,440 and, and, um, we remember the deception is never the answer to anything. 332 00:22:24,790 --> 00:22:29,160 Keep the faith strong and we should believe wait on God. 333 00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:36,340 And once we do that, everything will fall into place, 334 00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:40,110 you know, and we shouldn't, um, 335 00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:44,150 just worry about life because we should have no fear. 336 00:22:45,450 --> 00:22:47,550 God will take care of us each and every day. 337 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,270 So, I mean, that's probably why I talked away the accident, um, the, 338 00:22:55,330 --> 00:22:57,830 the things.
