Comment by Shannon Huffman Polson on July 10, 2012 at 6:58am: thank you Page! A lot of work ahead as you all know, but it's very exciting!

Comment by Page Lambert on July 10, 2012 at 6:57am: Shannon, I just checked out the Amazon link and love your bio, love the topic, love the natural and intelligent tone of the narrative. Looking forward to checking out your FB author page.

Comment by Shannon Huffman Polson on July 9, 2012 at 10:27pm: Hi ladies. Today is a pretty exciting day: I've just signed a contract for my memoir, North of Hope which comes out in March 2013 (Zondervan) about a river trip in the Arctic tracing a tragic journey from the year before. I hope you'll join me on the journey- it's been a very long time in coming and a lot of work ahead! Preorders are available here:
