September 2009..Breaking News!!

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Mark 6:41
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus looked up to heaven and blessed them. When God sends His blessings, it's always more than enough.
******************************************************************************
Hi friends,
I want to praise God for His riches and blessings. The Lord has truly opened the windows of heaven and pulled me out a blessing that I don't have room to receive, and I give God the glory for His favor. Please share in my joy, and know that it is not my intention to come across as boasting.
At the end of this newsletter, please take the time to read my personal testimony about a disturbing event that happened to me.


My August events included attending my husband's family reunion party in Mississippi and my book release party for Not Guilty of Love in St. Louis. Check out my pictures at photos.patsimmons.net.

There has been a change of plans in regard to the last book in the Guilty Series: Free from Guilt. God intervened and told me not so fast. The bad boys from Boston are coming to town and they're nothing like their Jamieson cousins. Can Parke and Malcolm whip them into shape? Find out in Guilty by Association and meet Ace and Kidd Jamieson.

So here's the new schedule:
Guilty of Love, 2007
Talk to Me, 2008
Not Guilty of Love, 2009 (available now)
Still Guilty (April 2010)
Crowning Glory (October 2011)**
Guilty by Association (2012)**
**That's the plan, but I'm not responsible if the Lord comes back, then I'm out of here!

BREAKING NEWS...

Black Expressions Book club, a book of the month mail order club, has picked up Not Guilty of Love as the September selection. Black Expressions Bookclub is similar to Double Day or Crossings, but primarily offers African-American books.
Not only is this an honor for any author, but it guarantees months of national exposure. So if you are a member, please get your copy. FYI, all books purchased through Black Expressions are in a hard copy edition.

Not Guilty of Love's first review.
4 STARS from RT Bookreviews magazine:
"This follow-up to Guilty of Love will speak to anyone whose friends and love ones do not understand their faith. The characters are well drawn, and Simmons has a real ear for dialogue. A great read!!"
Dee Y. Stewart

Thanks everyone who came out to my book release party and made it a success. 44 books were SOLD!

Not Guilty of Love is #22 on OOSA Online Bookclub's Know What's on Our Shelf to read list.
When is the last time you visited my site www.patsimmons.net? I have book signings scheduled in Kansas City, the St. Louis and Illinois area, Chicagoland, Houston/Dallas. Check them out and come out and support me. A big Thanks in advance.

Beginning September 30th-November 5th, Barnes & Noble will feature Not Guilty of Love on endcaps in the aisles of selected bookstores across the country. Remember that blessing I mentioned earlier about God pulling out? I don't have room to receive it, but as my husband always says, "I'm going to give it my best shot."
