"It can take forever. My novel was requested by an editor in May, I didn't get the call until Dec 28th that she wanted to acquire the book. Most of my published friends have waited 5 to 8 months hear from an editor."

My debut novel, Secret and Lies coming Nov 24th to a bookstore near you.
So here's a little about the novel...
Faith Morgan is struggling with her faith. Years of neglect leave her doubting that God will ever fix her marriage. When a coworker accuses her husband, Jonah, of the unthinkable, Faith begins to wonder if she really knows him at all, and if it’s truly in God’s will for them to stay married.
Pediatric cardiologist Jonah Morgan is obsessed with one thing: his work. A childhood incident cemented his desire to heal children at any cost, even his family, but now he finds himself at a crossroads in his life. Will he continue to allow the past to haunt him, or find healing and peace in a God he shut out long ago?
Secrets and Lies will be available virtually everywhere books are sold - Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Borders, Books a Million and at independent bookstores. It's available for sale on my website as well. Click here to pre-order at Amazon or here for Barnes and Nobles.
Still not convinced? Want to know more about the book and my writing? I have a blog Secrets and Lies The Novel where I've posted two shorts stories and more about the book. You may visit my website to learn more about me, read an excerpt and learn about my free-lance fiction editing services. Also, don't forget to sign my guestbook and let me know you stopped by.
Blessings,
Rhonda McKnight

I sold my first book five days after my first son was born, and went on tour pregnant! Thank you for being a part of She Writes. Looking forward to seeing lots of you here as we grow.
Warm best,
Kamy
