High Lady of Contagious Pizzazz

I am very, very happy to welcome Kristen Usher to our team! Kristen will be leading our valiant efforts to share these old soul/new stories with the world. Her official title is…

High Lady of Contagious Pizzazz, Supreme Executive of High Fives, and Secretary General of Ginger Outreach

If you follow sports, then you know that when your team signs an outstanding player in a crucial position, you rejoice. We feel like we have done just that.

Andrew is trying to do everything a publisher uses dozens of people to do, and together we are trying to cobble together a ragtag team of volunteers and friends to get this new book off the ground and not neglect the others. We somehow managed it last year, with help. But our margins have shrunk and our to-do lists have grown, so we are beyond excited that Kristen Usher is going to join us to help with telling the story of the story.

Our sequel for The Green Ember is scheduled (as of now) to appear in late Spring, and we plan to share it with the world via Kickstarter. There’s really no better way we know of to share the book and we’re excited about doing it! Having Kristen on board is a profound blessing and injects so much (much-needed) enthusiasm in our squad.

Kristen will be our queen of connection, our maven of many meetings, our oligarch of outreach. She will be leading the charge on social media and elsewhere, making sure we don’t miss opportunities to connect with potential readers.

Sometimes she’ll be posting at my Facebook Page or on my Twitter account. When she posts on Twitter, it will usually be with a “-KU” appended.

Welcome, Kristen!
