Mrs. Job's coming out appearance

Today I approved the cover for Mrs. Job. Finding no photo of a woman of her period who even began to convey her personality as I know it, we decided to go with an acacia tree. Elaine Ward of iUniverse did a fantastic job, patiently meeting the requests of my "good-artistically-eyed" daughter, Lisa. I tried to post a photo of it on Facebook, but I guess is must be in the wrong format. I'd have it on my web site, but that program doesn't like my Mac, so I have to wait for someone with a PC to help me get that accomplished. 

Anyway, she's ready. I hope she'll be really productive after her debut.

I'm excited about "Mrs. Job"

I found a clergy person willing to read my Mrs. Job manuscript. I admit, I was excited and scared. After all, she is steeped in Biblical history. She could have nicely told me that I had strayed too far from the Biblical source, or from the reality of life in the desert, or that the writing was dull. Instead, she called to tell me that she didn't just like it; she loved it. She said more good stuff, but I don't know that it's appropriate to repeat that until she puts it in writing herself. She said she'll write a blurb for me for the back cover. 

Based on a recent e-mail, I should soon be receiving the editorial evaluation from iUniverse, the publisher. That might turn out to be a downer. Who knows? But for now I'm going to bask in the pleasure.
