Hazel Rolston: March 2008 Archives

This week my pre-occupation is preparing for my book launches; one in N. Ireland and the other in Bristol, (details of the launches can be found at IVP's website).

Last Friday (the day of publication) came and went and consequently, as far as I know, some of my books are on some shelves somewhere! I hope if you are someone who has purchased a copy of 'Beyond the Edge' that it has been/will be helpful in some way. I guess my hearts desire is to connect with anyone who can resonate with my life; to accompany a fellow sojourner and if necessary help divert their route away from the lure of Despair.

I feel pretty nervous as I 'launch', as l am just an ordinary woman who has committed her story to the written word and it feels very unusual to be the focus of these gatherings. Yet it is my hope that unfamiliar as I am to such events' that God is not, and that He has gone ahead of me to prepare the way as I launch into uncharted waters.
Hi there, welcome to my first ever blog. 

This is the week that 'Beyond the Edge' comes onto the book shelves and I am tucked up in bed with another cold! My body has a nasty habit of pointing out to me when I am feeling stressed!!

On one hand I am excited about finally getting my book published as it seems to have been one long obsession. I first started seriously thinking and talking about writing it 8 years ago! Poor Steve, my husband, has had to listen to my musings for many days, (hopefully not every day for the last 8 years as that would be 2922!) 

Yet admittedly, on the other hand I am nervous about it finally going to print. My old ego is constantly muttering in my ear "what on earth are people going to think of you when they read it?" and that becomes pretty tiresome and sometimes freaks me out. Hence I do feel that it is significant for me that it is being released on Good Friday, a day when Christians reflect on the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross, so that we might be reunited with him and helps to keep my current step of faith in perspective!
