An Online Home for a few Right-Brain Rambles
My Motto: "Vivere cum integritas en gracia dei!"
Launching a new book out into the world has emotions like no other experience! I find myself praying for this project almost like praying for my children. I want it to be successful, of course, but mostly I hope and pray it will carry a great message of hope, healing, and encouragement to every reader.
I’d love to have a “street team” of prayer warriors join me in praying for the book and the people who read it.
Care to join my “team?” Welcome aboard!
Hey, friends!
The time has come!
You can now place your order for my new book Seven Essential Daily Prayers.
Scheduled release date is September 1, 2019, but YOU CAN ORDER NOW at a SPECIAL “BOOK-LAUNCH” PRICE.
For a limited time–until September 30–I have marked the price down by 40% from $12.99 to $7.80 + $3.00 P&H.
Please note: This is a pre-launch announcement, so your order will ship as soon as we have books in stock–estimated date is September 9. However, your early order will help immensely! It will help us (A) have a rough idea of how many copies we will need in our inventory, and (B) help provide some much needed funds for a successful launch.

Working my way through the loose-ends process of preparing the SEDP book for publication. For any other writers out there, don’t–I repeat, *do not*–skip the final steps of recruiting beta/proof-readers for your manuscript! Having more eyes on your work is crucial to polishing it for release. This is beyond true. It is fundamental to the success of your work.
Just sayin’! 🙂
This is an exciting day! It has been a long time coming! Yesterday I ordered three proof copies of SEDP from Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), the self-publishing service from Amazon.com. The SEDP book has been over two years in development. I am beyond ecstatic that it will be available in just a few more weeks!
Here is the list of the “Seven Essential Daily Prayers:”
The book is filled with personal stories, historical illustrations, and biblical insights. And, it is only about 125 pages! The paperback edition is 8″x5″ — perfect for carrying with you when you travel, commute, place in a purse or backpack. It will also be a great discussion starter for Bible study groups and prayer meetings. I will be developing study guides for the project soon with several different types of groups in mind, e.g. men’s prayer breakfast, women’s Bible study, church mid-week service, or just for individual devotions.
Stay tuned. I’ll let you know when the whole project is a “go!”
01/29/2019. Update. Finished first draft of Chapter 1 today. Progress. Good feeling.
Here’s a preliminary idea for the cover of a paperback book edition of the Seven Essential Daily Prayers. It shows front, back, and spine. And, at this point I have no idea why the spine content is out of alignment. Just wondering what y’all think of this. Comments welcome! Email me at loren@lorenfentonauthor.com.
Progress report: As of today I’ve made a pretty good beginning writing the content. I’ve finished the Introduction, and I’m about 1/3 into the text of Chapter 1, “Purity for My Mind.”
I’m working on a self-determined, self-imposed deadline. Feeling good about this journey!
Watch for more updates as the project moves toward publication!

My Seven Essential Daily Prayers course on GoodlifeNews! Online Academy is nearing completion! Five of the seven lessons are now live online. The remaining two should be ready by the end of this week.
You can't imagine how happy I'll be when this project is completely finished and available in it's entirety!
Just click on the picture above. It will take you directly to the course landing page.
Also, just one more thing: Please let me know your thoughts about the course. Your feedback is incredibly important and welcome. TIA!
Over there you should see a form asking for your name and email. This is the simplest and easiest form I’ve found for my blog. I’d love to have you subscribe! If you do, each time I publish a new post you will get a note in your inbox with a link, so you can read it at your convenience. Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time. Nevertheless, I covet the privilege of sharing stuff about my writing activities with you. And, if you happen to enjoy something, it would really please me if you shared it with your friends! TIA!!

Well, it has been a pretty challenging few days this week, but we are getting a LOT closer to publishing the paperback edition of Whimsi and the Big Election! I spent two very long days 
designing and finishing the cover. In the end, I had to have Ruth help me finish up. She is much more experienced than I with the graphics app we use, which – if anyone is interested – is the Corel Paintshop Pro 2018.
I wanted to post a picture of the final cover here, but right now my webhost gives me a message that it is too large. So, I opted for the one you see at the left. However, if you would like to see what Whimis’s cover will look like when it is eventually published, you can go over to Whimsi’s Facebook page. Just click HERE.
I am SO looking forward to getting this project done! Even though I wrote the story, I still truly enjoy it! Plus, I believe Whimsi’s story has some wonderful – even vital – lessons for young children (and for some of us older kids, too!).
Blessing to all. Keep walking with the King!

My story “Spooky Bumps in the Night” is in this week’s Guide Magazine, November 4, 2017 edition! If you can find a copy, the story starts on page 4. Your local Adventist Church Junior Department will probably have some copies. Check it out!
New Facebook BannerI created a new banner for my “Loren L. Fenton, Author” page on Facebook. What do you think?
