In this episode, I share the story of how I got started in my book publishing/writing career. It all began with a song. I wrote a song, which, through the prompting of my mother, was developed into my first book. In the podcast, I promised to share with you the lyrics of that song, and they’ll be at the end of the show notes.
That first book I wrote is titled, The Prodigal Daughter: Hope for Runaway Christians and Those Who Await Their Return
Ruled by despair, remorse and anger, author Linda Fulkerson’s life had become a classic rendition of the cliche, “What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?” Desperate. Overwhelmed. Isolated. Trapped. She hit bottom.
On the elevator of life, those descending will all exit on different levels – some much lower than others. You don’t have to go all the way to the basement! Stop now and push the “up” button. This book will show you how.
The Prodigal Daughter offers practical suggestions to:
– Renew hope
– Realize God’s love
– Regain peace
– Reconcile relationships
– Return home

And, the last book I discussed in this podcast episode was Dead Broke, a murder mystery.
Sports photographer Andrea “Andy” Warren, whose faith has dipped to the same depths as her checkbook balance, receives a phone call that forces her return to the Arkansas hometown she renounced, where she hopes to avoid her meddling mother, her ex-fiancé, and the local sheriff.
Upon her arrival, she soon discovers a series of changes in the “never-changing” community. A handsome stranger has arrived, a festival is in the works, and a person she desperately needs is dead.
When her estranged brother is charged with the crime,
