I can not tell you how many times in my life I can honestly say "it was only by the grace of God that this has happened." I am so privileged to be a child of God a professed Christian. What God has done for me and is doing for many others who choose to put their lives in His hands is amazing.
As I am putting all the finishing touches on my debut novel I am currently working with two other magazines; relatemag.com and suite101.com. I enjoy writing for both. The freedom to write on my topic of choice is both a blessing and a joy. I am so enthusiastically happy and was wowed when I received a note from the editor in suite101.com informing me that he had featured my article.
Honestly I have to tell when I wrote this article I had no idea it would be featured but am so glad. The message in the article is priceless because it explains how to come to the saving grace of Christ and the importance of His word in your life. I can honestly attest to God's favor, grace in goodness in my life. If it were not for Him I would not have this amazing opportunity to write. It has been a desire long in the making and God has opened every door possible to make this happen for me.
I invite you to read the article and share it with others as well http://crystalkelly.suite101.com/reading-vs-studying-the-bible-a403562

In the Meanwhile
As you all are eagerly waiting to see the final phases of CHANCES come to its completion I want to point your attention to writings of mine that may interest you. I also write for a magazine entitled relatemag.com. This online magazine is geared to the fashioning of young women from the ages of twelve to twenty three in a positive light.
Relatemag.com is an alternative read for young women who are trying to venture out into their own skin all the while feeling comfortable. In our society today there are so many things screaming for their attention that will distort their self perception in a disastrous way. Let us as their parents or just as influences in their lives direct them to reads that will build their self perception.
Relatemag.com covers popular topics such as fashion, beauty, relationships, health, the ever famous 'boys' section, movies, books, celebrity news as well as many other topics that interest our youth today. Introducing your young women to relatemag.com will be a great part of impacting their lives and allowing them to see they are not alone in their struggles. Check out my latest article at http://www.relatemag.com/2012/02/give-up-the-pattern-to-receive-the-promise/ This article deals with giving up the pattern of yielding to the pressures they experience allowing them to receive the wonderful life God meant for them to have.

I've Made a Decision
Dear Friends I am so happy to have received valuable advice from many in regards to the publishing of my book. I have received advice and personal experiences from many individuals in regards to their publishing experiences and success. Although I am well aware that a great book can and will generate great success I needed a little direction as to which way to go.
I am so pleased to have confidently come to the decision of going with a traditional publisher. Self-publishing would allow me complete and absolute control over my project as well as generate a higher profit. This is a really good thing. But as it is I am a first time novelist. I have no imprints in the industry. I am well-aware that marketing will be a responsibility of mine on either end but I feel as though direction through a publisher will guide me in the way I need to go.
I currently putting the finishing touches on my debut novel CHANCES and putting it through a very thorough editing process. I have several publishers in mind and will be submitting very soon. The next post I hope to write is my novels acceptance to one of these publishers. As always I am so grateful and honored that you have chosen to be a part of this journey with me.
