Hello, Tribe! Today’s the official release of Found in Translation, although Family Christian at Virginia Center hasn’t received its copies yet and Barnes & Noble across the street doesn’t plan to stock it. Gee! I was hoping to take pictures of it on the shelf SOMEWHERE. But that time will come. I trust you’ve all [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, ladies. I hope you’re enjoying this holiday as much as we are. I don’t know if all of you are familiar with book trailers, but they’re very much like movie trailers. I’ve had one professionally made for Found in Translation, and it looks GREAT! Would you all please check it out here and [...]
Just wanted to let you ladies know that Barbour Publishing is postponing considering books 3 and 4 of the Altered Hearts series until they see how the first books sell. That makes good business sense, of course. They’re talking about reconsidering them for late 2012, although that’s no guarantee. At least my editor sees a [...]
Whoops! Although I haven’t seen any announcements, it looks like the November Christian Fiction Online Magazine is out now. More important, I gave the wrong link to get directly to my story. Go here.
Most of you are probably unfamiliar with a really neat website called Christian Fiction Online Magazine.

I’m not sure exactly when that will come out, but the [...]
Hello, Tribe! I think each of you has a tee-shirt now, and I hope you’ve gotten to wear it a time or two while the weather’s still warm enough. (Of course, if you’re like me, you wear tee-shirts year round.) I wanted to bring you up-to-speed on what’s going on with Found in Translation. The [...]
I realize I’m getting ahead of the game a bit, but the release of Found in Translation in January is getting closer all the time. Here are two useful articles about helping someone market a book: How Can You Help Promote a New Book? If You Love a Book Author and Want to Help Them [...]
I’ve submitted a synopsis of the proposed fourth book in my Altered Hearts series to Barbour Publishing. If you want to read it, please send an e-mail to Roger@RogerBruner.com with “King’s Highway” in the message subject. I would appreciate your prayers for Barbour to make the right decisions about Overshadowed and On the King’s Highway. Right [...]
Greetings! I was going to ask some of you to look over the first 30,000 words of One-Eighty, which I had hoped would be the third book in the Altered Hearts series, but my publisher asked me to do something different. Please pray that the synopsis I sent my editor will be what they’re after [...]
I thought you might want to know that Barbour Publishing thought Lost in Dreams would be a more appropriate and teen-appealing title for book two in the Altered Hearts series than Prancing on Pebbles. It’s definitely a great title, and the cover is really nice, too. What do you think? Oh, and Lost in Dreams [...]
