Sunflower Love is a collection of devotions featuring country life. Written by Sheri Schofield, who spent nearly thirty years among the wild creatures in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, these stories transport the reader to a place of peace with God. In the wildflowers, the storms, the antics of wild creatures, and her adventures there, Sheri takes the reader with her on a walk back into a simpler life, a place where the reader’s heart can connect with the Savior who loves each one of us more than we could ever imagine. A Savior who helps us overcome our personal struggles, who gives us hope as we turn our faces toward Him, as the sunflowers turn to face the sun.
Thunder rolled in my footsteps.
The clouds cried as I felt the weight of darkness!

Six Steps to Publishing
#1 Start Building Your Platform
Getting a book published has always been a challenge, but perhaps even more so over the last decade. Publishers assume a lot of risk when signing new authors. Therefore, they are interested in knowing how broad and extensive your platform happens to be.
#2 Write a Book Worth Reading
Every published author has a story about how they came up with the big idea for their book. Learn from them and look for ways to enter into your own personal creative zone. Be diligent and disciplined when it comes to writing. And most importantly, don't run away from feedback.
#3 Yes! Hire a Skilled Editor
Here's the biggest secret in the publishing industry. Even the bestselling authors have hired editors. In fact, they have teams of people who help them prepare their books for publication. However good you are with your writing skills, you need a second set of eyeballs on your manuscript.
#4 Sign with an Agent
Agents are the gatekeepers in the publishing industry. After you write your first book, you'll soon discover that publishers don't want to read it unless your work is recommended by a literary agent. Some agents already have so many clients that they will not receive an unsolicited manuscript.
#5 Choose the Best Publisher
Publishers, like ourselves, come in many different shapes and sizes. Some will only consider publishing well-known successful authors, while others are looking for rising stars and voices in the wilderness. If your calling is writing, remember that every author was once unpublished.
#6 Prepare for Launch
First time authors are usually surprised that it's easier to write a book than it is to prepare for publication and the subsequent marketing campaign. This is the season where you spend every waking hour growing your platform and communicating with your network of adoring fans.
