Being chosen for the Editor's Choice Award for her work with A Rising Hope has given Nova encouragement to continue with her writing. She believes that the next book will be much easier to develop based on the knowledge she's gained while putting together the first one.
The writing of A Rising Hope took place over a six year period during which time Nova became more educated than she wished to be about the business of writing. Formatting, editing, layout, graphics, publishers, etc., were almost enough to relieve her of the ambition to tell this most meaningful story.
In the book, A Rising Hope, the main character, Sara Whitehead, is a smart, ambitious teen who is in a hurry to get on with her definition of the perfect life. Her immaturity allows choices that lead to actions which result in anything except the successful fulfillment of her dreams.
Nova has not danced around the cold hard facts of life in this compelling Christian Fiction novel. Sara's life, as depicted in A Rising Hope, may give the reader insights not experienced before.
At this time, Barnes and Nobles and Amazon are the two main outlets for the book. Other outlets will be listed soon.
Interviews with local newspapers are scheduled and Book-signing appointments are being confirmed. Speaking engagements with local church and civic groups are also being arranged.
