The Oregon Christian Writers Conference is always a highlight of my summer. This year, my daughter, Crystal, who is also a writer, attended with me along with her husband, Daniel. They flew back to their home in Jerusalem on the second day, but made some important contacts first.
I met with good interest on the part of an agent and editor in my upcoming book, Amazing Youth of WWII. There is always more to do before a book is finished than we at first anticipate, so I’m back at the computer writing like crazy.
In the meantime, I’m also writing devotions for God’s Word for Today and articles for Live.
The Oregon Christian Writers Conference is always a highlight of August for me.
This year I shared about my new book, Amazing Youth of WWII. It’s half finished now, and editors and agents begin to get interested at that point.
Some have asked to see the full proposal. Some want to wait until it’s complete. That will be another year. The research is very consuming. Here are some photos of my time there at the conference.
As I celebrate the fact that my book, Amazing Youth of WWII is about 50% complete, I want to tell you the story of one of the people who is featured. Chiune Sugihara is unique in that he was the Japanese consul in Kovno, Lithuania, and Japan sided with Germany in the war.
