I have been trying to write as often as I get a chance to. It is hard to find time when you have two little ones who get your attention throughout the day! I am happy to report, however, that I have completed a new children's manuscript and have been in 'edit-mode' ever since. It is a funny little story teaching children about being friendly to others.
I will let you know when it is ready to be sent out and what becomes of it! In the meantime, Grace has been enjoying it. She asks me to read it over and over to her. That makes it worth it all!
Not Meant to Be
Unfortunately, the last post is now irrelevant. The publishing company that DID tell me they accepted my manuscript has not followed through with their commitment. They stopped communication after "accepting" the story.
So, the Lord knows....and it was not meant to be published with that particular publishing house.
Pray as the Lord continues to lead and I will keep you posted on other prospects!!!

Accepted!!!!
My children's book, Pride Cometh Before a Weasel has been accepted for publication and the contract is in the mail! I am excited to see what the Lord will do through this story, which has been in the works for several years now. I will let you know more as the information is given to me.
The Waiting Game
I have been asked several times recently if I am currently in the works of writing something else. At this point, my focus has been on my completed children's book, Pride Cometh Before a Weasel, and I am waiting for a reply from a specific publisher that interested me.
I have also been contacted by my previous publisher, to inform me of their interest on the project!
I am praying that the Lord sees fit to do what He knows is best and I will let everyone know if the true story will be published anytime soon!
When I find the time to write again- like there ever IS time - I continue to have certain topics at the forefront of my mind.
In the meantime, Welcome to Motherhood, continues to sell on BarnesandNoble.com.
Thank you for your interest and anticipation!

Update
It's been a while so I thought I'd update you on a few things. First of all, the book can no longer be purchased through amazon, however there you can find a link to other sellers. Or, you can go to the barnes and noble website instead and order it there.I have been anticipating submitting my children's book to some publishers. The illustrator is working on things still, so I will keep you informed when that happens.
Also, I have felt the Lord tugging on my heart to write about a few topics in particular. I am getting the writing 'bug' and am trying to find time to get my thoughts together. It's exciting to see what the Lord has planned.
As for the Motherhood book, I am grateful for all of the positive feedback I've received. I am still learning the ropes of advertising it, but have been encouraged by local publicity.
Thank you for your interest and your prayers! ~LHJ
It's Here!
"Welcome to Motherhood: Encouragement Through the First Weeks" is now available!!
This small book is packed with helpful information and encouraging words for first-time mothers. My own copies arrived in the mail this weekend, and I was thrilled to hold the book in my hand. It was a goal...a plan...and a dream of my own and now it's real. I pray that it inspires young mothers (and future mothers) to stand firm in the privilege of motherhood!
For those of you who would like to have a copy, you may go to publishamerica.com or you can order it through amazon.com.
So now I embark on the task of marketing and getting the book out there so that it can be used in someone's life. And now I discipline myself to keep on writing and seeking the Lord for what He would have me to do next. This is only the beginning.
