“Are you serious,” was my comment to an email I received from a facebook friend that wanted to go ahead and pre-order my book. To my own surprise, the book is NOW AVAILABLE to order and ship. As the first official purchaser of, “Is Your Ghost Holy,” I want to personally thank DIANE SMITH OF BONHAM, TEXAS.
Then to only add icing to the cake, I learned that 100 copies of my book had been ordered directly from the publisher TODAY!!!!
So, to all of you LOYAL family, friends and future fans —get to ordering. Don’t forget to tell your loved ones as well. And thank you so much for your support and prayers. May 1st is still my official release date as well as the FIRST BOOK RELEASE PARTY!!!!
Can’t wait to hear from you once you buy and read it.
Be blessed

While on Facebook the other day a friend of mine commented, “Everybody I know is writing a book, I feel like I should be writing one too.” I laughed at the thought and then quickly realized one of my goals of becoming a published author is and has been shared by many aspiring writers. You may not want to pen the next New York Times Bestseller, make Amazon or Barnes & Nobles Top 10 list or even Oprah’s Book Club, but what you do want is a finished copy of your very own published book, so you can check it off of your Things To Do List. 

For as far back as I can remember, I have been a writer. Not your J. California Cooper, Maya Angelou or Toni Morrison, but simply and modestly, Shay Bills. Like me, you’re probably thinking who would want to read my book? Like me, you’re also wondering how much does it cost or who would even publish my work? And like me for years, you’ve probably already talked yourself out of moving forward with the idea. Well dear friend of mine, the time has come for me–the ultimate, “I CANNOT do that,” to finally encourage you so that you CAN do just that and get to writing. 

You don’t have to tell a single soul that you are writing until you type the last two words, The End.

So go ahead and confess what thousands of others need to confess as well and get started on your journey to becoming a published author. Happy writing and I’ll see you here tomorrow.
