Book in Bloom

Do you have a book tucked away in you?

Maybe you’ve heard it repeatedly… “you should write a book!“.

Perhaps the dream to write has burned deep down in your soul for more years than you can recall.

It shouldn’t surprise us. We were designed to design…and created to create!

How ever that dream has bubbled up…you are not alone.

According to a national survey taken a few years ago, 82% of Americans say they want to write a book. That’s an astounding 8 out of 10 people who have a book in them. But only a small percentage of people actually ever pull it off.

Why? Well, while their personal “why” may vary, the bottom line is: it’s a daunting process. To put it lightly.

If the actual extraction of the narrative and penning of the words weren’t intimidating enough, there’s the giant “what do I do now?” that occurs once your manuscript nears completion. Could it be that you haven’t even started because the whole process IS so downright overwhelming.

Maybe you’ve already written your story, and like countless others, your manuscript lies dormant on your hard-drive or in a desk drawer somewhere.

Throw in the intricate workings of the traditional publishing route, and it’s no wonder so few books emerge from that 82 percent.

It wasn’t that long ago that aspiring authors had to spend precious long months preparing proposals, writing chapter samples and hunting for an agent in their desperate attempt to get past the gatekeepers of the publishing industry.

Not anymore.

With the best indie publishing tools at our fingertips, we live in the greatest day and age to self-publish (click here for the top 10 reasons why you should self-publish your book).

What if you could have someone come alongside you to help give birth to this dream?

Someone who’s blazed the same trail you’re headed out on, who has discovered the most colorful route, along with some common pitfalls to avoid. Someone who can champion your journey and help you reach that destination with your sanity intact and your soul still singing.

THAT IS WHAT BOOK IN BLOOM IS ALL ABOUT.

“Great is the art of beginning,

but greater is the art of ending”

– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Who is BOOK IN BLOOM for?

•  The aspiring author who longs to write and release a book and doesn’t know where to start

•  The indie author who has a completed manuscript sitting in a desk drawer somewhere and is unsure of how to get it into the hands of the public

•  The seasoned author who’s been writing for years and recognizes the benefits of self-publishing over working with a traditional publishing house

•  Any smart author who realizes the enormous difference between writing a good book…and marketing a good-looking book

BOOK IN BLOOM can bring life to your book no matter what stage it’s in.

Like a midwife for book delivery, I’ll come alongside you and help breathe life into the embryonic dream in your heart. And then, together, we’ll clean that sucker up and present it to the world in epic Lion King fashion. Gloriously alive and kicking.

BIB-AB-Testimony

Maybe your book is fully developed, and just needs to be dressed.  We’ve got your back.

PRESENTING YOUR BABY WITH PRIDE

While the saying may go, “don’t judge a book by its cover”, the reality is…we all do.  And because a book cover instantly communicates the core message of your book, it should do it creatively, with excellence, and in a way that grabs your reader’s attention.

BIB-SC-Testimony

Nutshell version: an eye-catching, professionally designed book is your most effective sales tool.

Okay, so your cover looks great.  What about the inside?

Nobody likes reading a poorly formatted book.  You may have poured yourself into your manuscript, but if it isn’t laid out in an attractive, easy to read way, you risk losing readers before you’ve swept them up with your brilliant content.

BIB-SWG-Testimony

You may have already discovered that there’s a massive chasm between being able to weave your words together beautifully…and being able to package and market them. Writing a book is only one piece of the puzzle, albeit a substantial one. It doesn’t matter how well your book is written, if it doesn’t look good – and isn’t marketed strategically – it just won’t sell.

And spelling errors? Grammatical issues? Goodness. Let’s just say, an eagle-eye editor is worth their weight in gold.

We’ve got some of those for you too.

THE BEST THING ABOUT TEAMING UP WITH BOOK IN BLOOM IS…

BY THE TIME YOUR BOOK IS EDITED, FORMATTED, PRELAUNCHED & MARKETED – AND IS ALL WRAPPED UP IN A WELL-DESIGNED COVER FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE – YOU WON’T OWE US YOUR FIRST-BORN CHILD.

(and that is news worth celebrating!)

Your story matters.

Let BOOK in BLOOM help you bring it to life.

Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty. But befo Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty.
But before the resurrection, there was a towel.

In John 13, just hours before the cross,
Jesus doesn’t assert power, He kneels.
He washes the feet of Peter.
He washes the feet of Judas.
He loves them to the end.

🎙️ Episode 017 | The Jesus Way is live.

What does it look like to choose love in the middle
of betrayal, grief, disagreement, and struggle?
The way of Jesus isn’t flashy.
 It’s faithful.

So very thankful for the life that came from his d So very thankful for the life
that came from his death.

May you know how wildly, wholly
and wonderfully you are loved…

“This is how much God loved the world:
He gave his Son, his one and only Son.
And this is why: so that no one need be
destroyed; by believing in him, anyone
can have a whole and lasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of
sending his Son merely to point an
accusing finger, telling the world
how bad it was. He came to help,
to put the world right again.”

John 3:16-17 | The Message

Boundaries are not the opposite of love. They are Boundaries are not the opposite of love.
They are often the evidence of it.

Jesus touched lepers.
He wept with friends.
He restored the broken.

But He also corrected boldly.
He withdrew intentionally.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.

You can forgive someone
without restoring immediate proximity.
You can love someone
without giving them full access to your life.

Episode 016 | Grace + Guardrails is available now.

Love does not require unlimited access. In Episod Love does not require unlimited access.

In Episode 016 of Oh, Good Grief, we explore what Jesus
actually modeled when it comes to boundaries.

He loved everyone.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.
He was full of grace and truth.
He welcomed the crowds, but confided in the few.

In a world that demands access to our time, energy, and heart, this episode unpacks what it looks like to forgive without naivety, love without losing discernment, and practice grace with guardrails.

Healing after betrayal isn’t linear. It’s messy. Healing after betrayal isn’t linear.

It’s messy.
It’s exhausting.
And sometimes it feels impossible.

In this conversation, Lisa Devine shares what it actually looked like to rebuild a marriage after infidelity: the boundaries, the brutal honesty, the forgiveness that had to be chosen again and again.

But more than anything,
it’s a story about the quiet ways God shows up
when everything feels shattered.
