A Lot Has Happened Since My Last Post - Books and E-books and More, Oh My

Dianne's 3-book "Prophecies Fulfilled" series.

A lot has happened since I last posted here. I've had multiple books come out and have published e-books for writers. I've started another blog on Bible Prophecy and have been amazed by its success in terms of numbers of people visiting that blog.

All this and more has kept me so busy that I have not been keeping up with this blog, which is precisely for letting you know what I'm up to!

So here's me trying it again. My plan is to post here twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, to let my followers and fans know what's going on with my writing work. (Tweet that!)

One of the biggest things that happened for me recently was the publication of the third book in my "Prophecies Fulfilled" series, Prophecies Fulfilled in the Life of Jesus. It's pictured in the center in the image above.

This book was published in April 2014.

Sadly it was in print barely six months before the publisher put the entire series out of print last October.

Never fear though! The books are still available for purchase until the existing printed copies run out. So if you missed any in the series and want to get it to complete your set, you still have time. But quantities are limited so you need to get yours soon.

You may purchase through Amazon by clicking on the yellow "See All Buying Options" button. There, if you purchase from "Connect Press" you're actually purchasing from me and I'll be delighted to send you your book(s).

If you'd like to purchase directly from me and/or if you'd like your copy signed, leave me a comment below in the comments section and I'll get back to you about how you may do that.

It's nice to be back. I'm looking forward to posting more regularly here to let you know what's up with me. In the mean time, poke around the tabs at the top for more info. And be sure to check out the "Books for Writers" I've added to my collection to help any writers out there. (Click on the tab at the top.)

I started a new blog called Bible Prophecies Fulfilled so I could write more on the topic of my "Prophecies Fulfilled" series of books, and it has kept me so busy I haven't had time to post a note about it here!

I've wanted to start a blog on this topic for a long time, but just hesitated to take the plunge. Do I really need another blog to keep up with?

But I decided to do it. There's a lot going on in our world, and lot of interesting, possibly prophecy-fulfilling events coming in our near future--such as the first of four total lunar eclipses falling on major Jewish Feast days coming April 15th. It simply seemed too important to let it go.

So I started the blog with a Countdown to Easter. That's what that picture up there is about--you'll see that number count down through all the posts through Lent to Easter. I'm posting each day of Lent, which is every day except Sundays, about one prophecy that was fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Seeing what God has predicted in the past, then seeing how each prophecy was perfectly fulfilled, gives us confidence that God knows exactly what's happening on the earth and is in complete control. Seeing these past prophecies fulfilled gives us stronger faith for our current times as well as our future. And glimpsing how prophecies were fulfilled in the past ignites our desire to know what prophecies have yet to be fulfilled (which we'll begin looking at after Easter) and gives us solid belief they will indeed be fulfilled.

I hope you'll stop by and enjoy the new blog at BiblePropheciesFulfilled.blogspot.com and let it help you prepare your heart for Easter. And will you please spread the word and invite your friends to join us on this journey? Someone you know wishes they knew this information.

If you've noticed things going on in the world and wondered what it all means, you won't want to miss this blog. What's going on in the world and what it means is exactly what we're going to be talking about there.

Returning "home." Well it's not where we're originally from, but if anyplace feels like home it's Lamar, Colorado. We lived there from 1992 to 2000, we got involved in a church there, and we continue to see friends from Lamar often (not to mention going there often).

But since my last three books came out over the past 15 months, I haven't made an opportunity to take my books to Lamar and do an Author Event. That's about to change.

On Saturday, November 30, 2013, from 8:00 to 1:00, I'm going to be at the new Brew Unto Others coffee house in Lamar, Colorado.

• Dear America: A Letter of Comfort and Hope to a Grieving Nation (2002, Ampelos). My first book, I wrote this shortly after we moved from Lamar, in the days after the events of September 11, 2001. It includes "10 Things I've Learned While Sifting through Grief" and the story of the Bible in five acts. $6.95

In Store Author Event: Mardel in Colorado Springs, Saturday December 22th -- Christmas book just in time for Christmas!

I will be at the Mardel Christian bookstore in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this Saturday, December 22th, signing my new book Prophecies Fulfilled in the Birth of Jesus.

For details about this book, please click the "New: Prophecies Fulfilled Books" tab up above.

The Mardel store in Colorado Springs is located at 5964 Barnes Road. That's just east of Powers. Turn east at the traffic light, then turn north into the shopping center. You'll see Mardel's big sign next to the Hobby Lobby.

I will be there from 10:00 - 4:00, later if we're busy. I think they're putting me in the book section which is located toward the back of the store, so when you come in look for the book area toward the back of the store and to your right.

Please stop by and see my exciting new book! Through it you can read through the Christmas story and take a look at 35 different prophecies. Then travel back in time to see who wrote the prophecy, when (including the date if possible), and in what context. Then travel forward in time to see how it was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus.

This book is not only great for your individual reading, but also makes a great study for groups or book clubs. Includes application questions with each chapter. It is easy enough for those who are new to Bible reading to learn a lot, but also has some little-known facts and in depth study to interest those who have read the Bible for years. It's a great resource with all the information. Makes a great gift.

I hope to see you there. Please come say hello and let me know you saw it on my blog! Or Twitter. Or Facebook. Or Linked In. Or just where you saw it!

Travel back in time to the prophecies of the first Christmas
and your future Christmases will never be the same.
