Shepherd's Inn

Quite a few years ago, I developed the idea for a seasonal book series which would go under the title Shepherd's Inn, a place where young people would spend some time as a transition between life and the next existence, whatever that might be. Cathie, my youngest daughter, shared her thoughts about such a project, and the series was born. It is my hope that somehow this first story will become a Christmas tradition, and the future books will become part of those annual traditions, such as Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, etc. I hope to write stories which will touch the hearts of those who read them. I believe that this first story and those that follow will one day be "discovered" by Hallmark and become a part of that system. This particular edition was published originally in 2013, and I sent the manuscript and a copy of the self-published book to Hallmark without any comment, other than all submissions must come from agents. I am still seeking an agent. It's sort of like a Catch 22; you can't get published without and agent, but agents don't like unpublished authors.
