      I'm getting old. Last week I wrote that I was being interviewed on Penelope's Book Chat and forgot to give you the link. Well, the interview went well. So well they want me back when I release the Stones Creek books. I suppose I talk rather than leave silent gaps which aren't good for radio. I must have talked about nonsense stuff because they […]

    • Book Review – Doing Max Vinyl by Frederick Lee Brooke
      When I started reading this book I had a hard time knowing who the main characters were. We’re introduced to a group of them in just about every chapter. Too many characters, introduced too quickly is a no-no in writing, unless you can break the rules and get away with it. Brooke does break the rules and it works in this case. The situations we find them in […]

Promotion in Motion: The Blessing Seer, by Paula Mowery

Posted by Lisa Lickel on August 14, 2012

The Blessing Seer

by Paula Mowery

This is Paula’s debut work. I’ve been blessed to know her since we started cooking up a project together quite some months ago. I’ve just gotten into reading her book, and let me tell you, it was hard getting off the treadmill this morning where the story was holding me captive. ~Lisa

About the Author

Paula Mowery is a pastor’s wife and a homeschool mom. She has always been an avid reader of Christian fiction. She began writing in the area of nonfiction creating three Bible studies which were self-published. However, she crafted fiction stories which she shared with friends and family. When one of her readers encouraged her to pursue publication, she joined American Christian Fiction Writers, learning more about the world of fiction. Her debut work of fiction is a novella published by Harbourlight, a division of Pelican Book Group – THE BLESSING SEER.

Learn more about Paula at her blog – paulamowery.blogspot.com

Read more of her writing in her monthly columns on ChristianMagazine.org.

About the book:

When God sends Addy a special messenger who challenges her to step from her comfort zone, she isn’t sure she’s up to the job. She feels inadequate to take on the task of encouraging others, and when she starts seeing visions, she worries she’s losing her mind.

Yet, Addy wants only to be used by God, even if that means seeing visions and risking relationship with family and friends. By stepping out on a limb, can Addy really accomplish something significant for God? What affect will her surrender to His will have on those around her? And, what affect will it have on her own life?

Paula, what do you love about this book?

Not to sound mystical, I love the way God just downloaded the outline for this book into my thoughts one night after I went to bed. I had to jump back up and write down the outline as fast as I could.

What’s the main thing you learned during the process of writing and publishing this book?

I had to deal with stepping from comfort zones and doing what God calls me to do just as the main character in the book must do.

What should your readers discover and want to share with their family and friends after reading this book?

I hope my readers will be challenged and encouraged to follow God’s direction in their lives. I pray they’ll learn how much God wants to bless if we are only willing and obedient.
