I have some exciting news today! My friend Lydia is a fellow student of mine in a conservatory studying the publishing industry and writing craft. And one of her stories is getting published this fall!
She is a part of The Author Conservatory's #VoicesoftheFuture Volume 7: Stories of Strength & Sacrifice! This week is the cover reveal! AND you can pre-order directly from Lydia to get a signed paperback at the link below!
Blurb for Lydia’s story, “The One That Got Away”:
For someone with no end of money, tax-collector Zacchaeus bar Simeon doesn’t have much. No friends, no family, and no God. They’ve all cut him off. He’s completely alone. Not that he’ll ever admit he cares.
But when a miracle-worker arrives in his hometown of Jericho, Zacchaeus can’t help investigating. This supposed prophet stops for blind beggars, so maybe he would spare a glance for an outcast tax-collector, too.
Unfortunately, Zacchaeus is a wee little man in a big crowd, easily lost and easily ignored, and if he can’t reach this Jesus of Nazareth, he’ll walk away unseen and forgotten yet again.
Be a light in the darkness!
I.M.J. Wood
