Okay, I think I broke yesterday's post by updating it so much. Really. At about 10 o'clock last night, the post wouldn't update anymore. So, let's just move on to today, forget about the past, look to the future, and all that.

I shared yesterday that I was live on the local KULR noon news, and that was fun. I have a tape of the segment, and I'll be digitizing it and sharing it with y'all soon.

Wait. I said to forget about the past, didn't I? Okay, then, let's move on to Day Two of this whole blog tour thing.

First up: Jason at Spoiled for the Ordinary had an entry yesterday, which I was trying to add to my previous post when Murphy began to take over. So here it is now. And, Jason's planning posts today and tomorrow as well. He's asked me to contain my glee, but it's difficult for me to contain my anything. You may find me spontaneously breaking into renditions of Broadway show tunes for no reason.

Sean Slagle also began blogging about WL yesterday, and I wish I would have been able to update with his first post, in which he makes some intersting observations about how our visually-oriented society (most literate with film) has different reading tastes. I certainly agree with that. On day two, he mentions some of the very nice reviews the book has received, and chimes in with an analysis of his own.

At Refreshment in Refuge, Gina has posted part two of her interview, in which I get to babble about being a control freak.

Chris Well, a fellow member of International Thriller Writers, posts day two of his interview. He asked the moment when I knew I'd made it as a novelist. I told I'd let him know when that happens.

At A Christian Worldview of Fiction, Becky makes the suggestion that WAKING LAZARUS is something akin to a fantasy story. I'd have to agree with that; a lot of what I love to read and write I'd consider fantasy set in our contemporary world. See what Becky has to say about it.

At Kathleen's Reading, Writing and...What Else is There?, we talk about character inspiration, and how my daughter became a boy--in the book, that is.

William G. Jones has a detailed review and synopsis of the book at Christianity 4 Life, and is very kind with his praise. My favorite line from his post: "To say this isn’t your typical CBA novel is an understatement." Well, heck, that's not the first time I've been called atypical.

And Brandilyn Collins, who has been an incredibly helpful and encouraging person to me--as well as to many other writers out there--has posted an excerpt and other information at her Forensics and Faith blog. She also points out I'll be signing copies of the book at ICRS in Denver on Tuesday, July 11th. Why in the heck haven't I mentioned that before on my own blog? See? Brandilyn's helping me out, even when I don't know I need help. Which, come to think of it, is most of the time.
