It is really kind of weird knowing that those who have bought my book have bought those other books. What a priviledge to be put in that category of inspiration! You can't ask for better.

On Amazon, there is a review, for my book that reads : *****
Excellent Book one that you must have in your library, December 24, 2006
Reviewer: Redfeather "Tom" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
Devotional books and books of encouragement are literally a dime a dozen, but Friday Fellowship by Peggikaye Eagler surpasses them all. Friday Fellowship is a book written by a true servant whose desire it is to draw closer to her Lord, while at the same time helping others find the same peace and understanding that she has found. Friday Fellowship will not only help you develop a personal devotional time with God, but will help you to grow in your faith and find the peace and strength that only Christ can give. To quote from the words of the author, "My prayer is that God would speak to you though the poems, His Word and the essays. I do not want this book to be just a `feel good' book to fill you with warm fuzzies. I want your heart to be challenged and confirmed and convicted." Peggikaye Eagler has achieved her goal in her incredible book, Friday Fellowship. If you are needing to develop that personal quite time with God or simply needing something to enhance your relationship with God, then you really need a copy of Friday Fellowship by Peggikaye Eagler. Come walk with this author as she so elegantly shows you how to grow in Christ and find that relationship that every believer desires.

I'm getting a bit annoyed at this point in time with the self publication houses. I think, if one more person says "how long before you recoup your investment?" or "how much did it cost you to publish it?" I'm going to faint.

It is very hard to smile at this point and sweetly say "No, you don't understand, I'm not self published, they are paying me to publish"

After saying it fifty times or more, it's getting annoying ...and I just want to say ...NO ... THEY PAID ME!

EXCUSE ME, THEY are paying not me!

Or any number of impatient responses.

Me, being me, doesn't respond that way. Thankfully. I usually just explain that I'm with a royalty publisher, and they are paying me.

It's not that I find anything wrong with self publication, and I know people who choose that route on purpose ..and I know people who are planning on choosing that route ... and there are many reasons why they would choose that route.

It's just right now ... I'm annoyed ... because it's the assumption that I went that route ... the surprise that I am good enough to not have HAD to go that route is no more surprising to me than to anyone ...so I'm not sure why I find it so annoying. I just do.

Well ... it's 1:30 am ...so I'm going to bed.

  1. LOLOL its totally awesome that you didnt have to go that route and that someone is publishing you. I think these people are just amazed. This is not the norm anymore I think and there are tons of would-be writers out there thinking that it cant possibly happen. It probably never occurred to them that it could and did happen to you.
