Every once in awhile I finish reading a book that is so amazing that I run straight to my computer and check out the author's website. Typically I find information about the author such as what books he/she has written and a few facts about their life. When I went to Jody Hedlund's page I found what I was hoping for. I found a wealth of information on writing. I'm not sure how many times I've gone to her blog or her list of resources for writers. It's been a lot.... I go there whenever I am in need of encouragement. One of the things that encourages me the most about Jody is that , like myself, she home schools her children. I love homeschooling but the combination of it and writing sometimes makes my heart sink and my head spin. Seeing someone that successfully balances both is so inspiring. Another thing that inspires me is her faith. It is evident in everything she does.
Her latest book, Rebellious Heart, is coming out later this month and I am part of her "street team". I am also apart of a giveaway (you could win a copy of Rebellious Heart!). I hope that you will enter at the bottom of this post! I am reading it right now and so far I am loving it. I should have a review up soon!

I'm inspired by many writers. I like following Jody on Pinterest and repin many of her inspirational pins. I've read her first two books and have her third on my to-be-read stack. Would love to win her latest release!
ReplyDeleteKathi Macias is one of the most inspiring authors I know. I mean, sure I am inspired by MANY authors, but Kathi inspires me to action. Doing for others and helping those in need not just looking out for myself -- very inspiring. Of course, I loved Jody's book Unending Devotion -- goes right along with Kathi's books on human trafficking.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting waiting waiting to read her newest book. Recently became a BIG fan of hers after reading A Noble Groom. She is a great writer and I love her blog also. My husband writes stories and has found a good deal of inspiration on her blog. LOVE YA JODY! Daizeefli@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired by each new author I explore.

I really enjoyed Jody Hedlund's last book and I'm very interested in reading this new one. I'll have to check out her blog because I would love some inspiration. Thank you.

Jody Hedlund is quickly becoming my favorite author. I cannot wait to read this one.
ReplyDeleteYou're so pumped that I'm felling it too. This author must be something.
ReplyDeleteThere are many authors I find inspiring. One blog I enjoy reading is Writes of Passage; several authors take turns writing each day.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed several of Jody's books (the rest are on my want-to-read list). It would be wonderful to win a copy of Rebellious Heart.
Thanks for the chance.

Anyone who can balance home schooling with writing, well, my hat is off to her. Around here, it didn't feel like there was much balance at all during those home school years.
ReplyDeleteAll my bloggie friends inspire me! I think this might be the first time I've been here though. So hello! I found you through Sheena-kay :)
ReplyDeleteCourtney Joseph! http://womenlivingwell.org/ just wrote a book that comes out Oct 1 and it is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI like following the writers on Seekerville. It's fun to learn about what goes into making a book and all their research.
ReplyDeleteI just can't wait to read Rebellious Heart! I finished A Noble Groom about a month ago and was so sad when it was over! I was sent on a scramble to read all Jody's books after reading The Doctor's Lady. Between my mom, sister and friends we've been passing around her books like crazy, it's been fun.
ReplyDeleteThe author that inspires me is Francine Rivers. She is such a good writer and I absolutely love her books!!
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by several writers who I've come to know through blogs, interviews, and their novels--Angela Hunt, Anita Higman, Kathi Macias, Tracie Peterson and Terri Blackstock. There are many more.
ReplyDeleteThe authors that inspire me, & which are my favorites, are Julie Lessman, Liz Curtis Higgs, & Joanne Bischof.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Jody's books & would love to read/win this one. Thanks for the opportunity!

No, not exactly. I do love some of the blogs of favorite authors, MaryLu Tyndall, Vannetta Chapman, and Sarah Sundin's history tidbits. All of them have had some wonderful and inspiring posts.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
