July 2010 Newsletter

Lamentations 3:22-23: It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Translation: God's giving us new chances in 2010, and His blessings are ready and waiting.

Greetings and Happy Fourth of July!
I am taking a breather for the next few weeks before I head off to my next event.
Excerpts of my 2011 release, Crowning Glory, will be available soon. Until then, check out a brief synopsis of Karen Wallace and Levi Tolliver's story: patsimmonsexcerpts.blogspot.com

June was packed with book signings at military bases: Luke AFB in Phoenix: Nellis AFB in Las Vegas; Los Angeles AFB; and I ended June at Ft. Campbell army base in Kentucky.
Please remember our military personnel. View June photos at photos.patsimmons.net

I attended my second family reunion in two months. This time it was on my father's dad's side (Cole-Scott-Thompson). What made this family reunion wonderful was the old black and white photos, some from 1964. It showed my great-great-great uncles born in the late 1870s...WOW.

I love it when I don't have to travel far to attend conventions, and the 2010 International Christian Retail Show was held in St. Louis, Missouri, this pass week. I had a chance to see fellow authors, including Michelle McKinney Hammond. I like her confidence in God and inspiration to women. I had a preview of Kim Cash Tate's September release: Faithful. You've got to read it!
