Thank You Very Much!

Even after the writing is done, writing a book requires a lot of time and effort–hence the decrease in content over the last couple of weeks. That will start to pick back up soon, though, and in the meantime I want to introduce you to two groups of people who have been incredibly supportive of me and important to this process.

OK, “introduce” is probably too strong of a term since I won’t be going into detail about them. It’s important, though, that there names be out there. They deserve to be recognized, and thanked publicly.

First, my Launch Team. These amazing people have been incredibly supportive, and they just may be looking forward to the book as much as I am! Without their support and work, many people will be exposed to this Faith and the Magic Kingdom that otherwise may never hear about it. Some of those lives will be changed, and these are the people who will make that possible. So, thank you to…

• Al & Joyce Kessel – Co-Hosts of the Tales from the Mouse House Disneyland podcast, and some of my strongest supporters! (By the way, Al also does voiceover work and narrates audiobooks, so if you need either of those, he’s your guy!)
• Ami Brundick-Eller – THE Disney Goddess. “A God blessed, love soaked mama searching for life’s hidden Mickeys.”
• Brent Green – Owner/Founder at Leadership Equip International.
• Camden Ross – Creator/Developer of Reflective Bible Study.
• Debbie Robertson – Founder of Making Magic and Memories and co-host of the Be Our Guest podcast.
• Karen Seal – Founder/Creator of Just Me and My Running Shoes (yay Disney running!).
• Keith Spanberger – CEO of Living Water Teaching and blogger at Kingdom Thinking.
• Melissa AuClair – Author of A Kitchen Christmas: the Modern Girls’ Guide to Surviving the Holidays- One Batch of Cookies at a Time and blogger at Launch Your Creative Life & Bake Perfect Cookies.
• Rob Simpson – Author of The Only 15 Things You Need To Know About Leadership.
• Rod Rogers – Author of Make Money by Cleaning Offices and Make Money Mowing Lawns.
• Royce Harrell – Career Coach and founder of Diamond H Coaching.
• Tim Arthur – Podcaster, Film & TV (and Disney) geek, Educational Specialist at Cisco. Creator/Co-host of the Second Screeners podcast.

There is one other group to tell you about, but first I want to highlight someone very special who I wasn’t able to put in the book. Honestly, I just ran out of room, but that in no way reflects on her importance to me at all. Jen Rhodes did amazing work on the cover for both my ebook and the paperback version. Often, covers sell the book, and her talent will be instrumental in the sale of this one. I can’t thank her enough, but I can tell you that her main freelance work is as a voice actress. If you have any need for an audio drama, game, training program, promo, phone greeting, short story, or podcast, do yourself a favor and contact her.

Finally, the backers of my Indiegogo campaign. They are mentioned in the Acknowledgements of the book, but I want to put them here, too, and thank them publicly online. They are…
