THE CALL

 

by

 

Linda Wood Rondeau

 

The day was June 21, 2000. I was fifty-three. I walked into work with an odd sensation. For a moment, my spirit felt adrift, floating over the scene in front of me, allowing me to see something beyond the daily grind.

 

“You don’t belong here anymore,” the Spirit said to me.

 

“Then where do I belong?” I asked.

 

“Take my hand and follow. I will take you to the other side of darkness.”

 

I obeyed. Sat down at my desk, wrote a poem, then wrote my letter of resignation. Was writing the thing God would have me do? I’d spent the last twenty plus years in human services. I counseled families, seniors, and children. I’d worked in schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. I’d been too involved in the mundane of human tragedy to write about the lessons God had taught me through my vocation.

 

Though I’d contemplated writing for the past five years, I was too exhausted at the end of my work day to conjugate a sentence.

 

“Now is the time,” the Spirit said.

 

I realized that God had to take me from where I was to bring me to where he wanted me to be. He promised to take care of us financially. I only had to trust. “I will show you more than you ever hoped or dreamed,” he said.

 

The road to book publication was filled with twists, bumps, and upsets. I managed to obtain an agent, published shorter manuscripts, and did the platform building thing. Joined critique groups, invested thousands in conferences, and joined on-line writing groups. I completed eight novels before I finally published a book-length manuscript.  

 

I recently celebrated my seventieth birthday.  

 

My journey is still characterized by twists, bumps, and upsets. The writing life has more surprises than a fun house. Yet, I would not want to have traveled any other road.

 

For now, there is no evidence of slowing down my writing career, despite the ravages of aging. I have seven books currently on the market, and one contracted. I have several more in various stages of completion waiting to find homes. In addition to writing, I am a senior editor at a traditional publishing house. I teach on-line writing courses, and occasionally serve as faculty at writing conferences. I am looking forward to teaching a writing workshop at our local library.

 

Though I most likely spend more on marketing than what I earn, I refuse to quit. God has fulfilled his promise. We have all we need.

 

What a journey! More than I would have imagined on June 21, 2000. I will continue the road God has put me on for as long as he says, “Take my hand and follow.”

 

 

Book cover blurb for The Fifteenth Article 

In a post-apocalyptic era, factions compete for control of a global government gone amuck. The President Elect of United Earth, fearful of separatist movements, desires to add a Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitutional Government’s Articles of Constitution that would make defection, past and present a crime punishable by death without benefit of trial. As the cry for freedom crescendos, Ahmed Fared, Rowland’s Second-elect, fears a civil war—one that would usher in a third dark age and calls upon the God of the Ages to once more intervene in the affairs of men.

Blurb for Snow on Bald Mountain: A novelette sequel to Miracle on Maple Street

(Giveaway book)

Ryan McDougall still has much to learn about this life called Christian. When his wife tells him she is pregnant, he looks to make a change, especially since Ma’s cousin Millie has moved into the already crowded house on Maple Street. Ryan takes a job as caretaker for a Bald Mountain estate owned by an eccentric, elderly woman. He hadn’t expected to become attached, not only to the natural beauty that surrounds the property, but to the owner herself, the widow of a famous politician and the daughter of an early 20th century petroleum tycoon. As the McDougalls befriend their generous employer, Bald Mountain bursts with new energy until a Christmas blizzard and pregnancy complications bring Ryan to his knees yet again. 

 

 

DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT TO BE PLACED IN THE DRAWING TO WIN A COPY OF SNOW ON BALD MOUNTAIN BETWEEN NOW AND SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH AT MIDNIGHT MST.

I'm familiar with and following Linda, but I haven't read any of her books yet. Snow on Bald Mountain sounds really good.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Becky. I am familiar with Linda's writing style through her blog posts from various group blogs, but have not read any of her longer works either. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Arletta From ND At 11/12/2017 10:20:26 AM

Thanks for exposing me to an author whose work I have never read. I'm always happy to find recommendations for good reads.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Arletta! So glad you stopped by. It is always fun to meet new authors.

Hi Kathleen. Thank you for stopping by and entering the drawing.

Lynn Watson From Bartlett, TN At 11/7/2017 12:33:59 PM

Love the encouragement for those of us definitely over 50. The dream has been there for decades. The serious writing journey began in 2016. I just turned 66. Thank you for sharing, because I plan to keep going for a long long time.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Lynn. So glad you stopped by. I have known Linda for a while now, and she is a definite inspiration to us older writers. Like you, I turned 66 this summer and still pursuing the dream as I work on my WIP that has been on the back burner for way too long.

Cleo Lampos From Oak Lawn, IL At 11/4/2017 7:02:15 PM

So glad to see you writing and creating dynamic novels, Linda. You have been a role model for me for several years. Blessings on this new venture.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Cleo. Thank you for visiting the blog and leaving a message for Linda.

Jerolyn Lockhart From Las Animas, CO At 11/3/2017 1:18:24 PM

Thank you for your story of faith, Linda. It's encouragement, and a testament to the faithfulness of God when we follow His direction. I hope to win the novel you are offering! God bless.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Jerolyn. It's always nice to see you here (as if you don't see me enough in person! HA!). I'm glad you enjoyed Linda's post.

Vivian Furbay From Colorado Springs, CO At 11/3/2017 5:04:55 AM

This sounds like a story where you really have to trust God to get through these difficult situations in the book. If I am blessed to win a copy, I would like a paperback book.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Vivian. Thank you for stopping by and letting us know you were here. I hope the drawing goes in your favor.

Linda Wood Rondeau From Hagerstown, Maryland At 11/2/2017 5:11:07 PM

Thanks for hosting me today.
