Did you know the snowier the winter, the more abundant the wildflowers are in the spring and summer?
I love when truth reveals itself in nature.
Because this is truth.
God uses the dormant seasons in our life, the harsh seasons in our life, to bring about beautiful things. Breathtaking things.
Like a once-snowy field bursting with wildflowers.
Which is why I’m so pleased with the title of my debut novel.
Wildflowers from Winter releases May, 2012 through Waterbrook Multnomah.
My baby has a name. A real-live name. I hope you like it.
Let’s Talk: What truths do you see in nature?
Congrats on your success!
I see all truths in Nature. The most heady is that mankind is not alone, that we didn't create everything, and that it's not all about us.
I have this giant tree outside my window, which seems very God-like to me, though I can't tell you why I think so. I call it The Majestic Maple Tree–and it's not maple. But it sure is majestic.
I see God-like tranquility in New Hampshire's Swift River, too. Don't know why, but I see and feel a Presence in both things.
I am late on this one, but fantastic choice Katie.
Ack! Just now got a chance to read this! LOVE LOVE the title! CONGRATS Katie!!!!!!
Hi Katie –
Great title! I love when a name carries so much meaning.
Blessings,
Susan 🙂
Ohhh, I LOVE it, Katie!!!
AWESOME! Congrats again and again!
Wonderful, Katie! And so much better than anything I cooked up. 😉
Fabulous!! Now I can tell everyone I know to look for it this spring 🙂 And what an appropriate title for a spring release, eh?!
Hugs!

It's a perfectly beautiful name, Katie.
Great title, Katie. I'm imagining some great cover art to go with the title.
Love it Katie!!! Congrats!!
🙂 Perfect! From the picture on Monday, all I could think of was Dreaming on Daisies…but I like this one better. 🙂
Gorgeous. Gives me tingles.
Beautiful title Katie! Can't wait to read it!
God's truth in Nature: God is an amazing artist. Lakes always reflect the canvas of His skies.
Great title! And many congrats on your debut novel!
Love the title, Katie! And you're right, "God uses the dormant seasons in our life, the harsh seasons in our life, to bring about beautiful things. Breathtaking things." Definitely something to cling to as we journey through those 'winter' times. Congratulations on your book! God bless!
It's definitely a "grabber," Katie! So happy for you, and anxious to *get me one of these!
Killer!
Love, love, love the title.
Wildflowers from Winter.
Beautiful.
It speaks of hope.
What truths do I see in nature?
Life has cycles to it.
Beauty is accessible to all. (Think of hikes along beaches. Or in mountains. Or even just around your neighborhood.)
So, so happy for you, friend.
Ooh, I have goosebumps! LOVE!
Congratulations! That's a beautiful title.
LOVE IT! No wonder you're excited. 🙂 Now I am going to be eagerly anticipating the unveiling of the cover art.
How lovely! Congratulations!
I love the name! Can't wait to actually read it!
You inspired me. Check out my new post. http://janclinewriter.blogspot.com/2011/08/its-harvest-time-again.html
Jan – my story centers around a farm! You should be able to relate to my characters!
As a farmers wife, I love the way nature teaches us. Congrats on your title – it's lovely. The birth of a new book is always so exciting to me – even if it's not my own. It's just so nice to see the process moving on and on. Just like nature.
Kelley – wish I could take more credit, but truth is, I can hardly take any credit at all! I tried my best to brainstorm title ideas for the editorial team, but I didn't give them much to work with! They came up with this one on their own. All I had to do was approve!
I can't wait to read it!!
Love the title! Can't wait to read it!
Did you come up with it, or was it a team effort?
It's beautiful!! I can't wait to see the cover. With a title like that, I know it will be gorgeous!!
Love it.
Congratulations!
Eeeeeek!!! I'm so very excited for you. LOVE the title. Doing the Snoopy dance for you!
Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone! Your support and encouragement makes this all the more fun!
What a wonderful title, Katie! You must be thrilled. I love how it goes so well with Wishing on Willows, too.
Great title, Katie!
Well done Katie. This is exciting!
How exciting! Can't wait to see the cover!
What a beautiful title! I can see why you're so head over heels for it. Wonderful!:)
That's a wonderful lesson from nature. Terrific title. Congrats!
It's very soothing and peaceful. I love it!
Lovely title, Katie!
I love it, Katie. Congratulations.
What a lovely name!
Love it!! When I saw the photo on Monday, I figured it had something to do with flowers. Such a peaceful name. Thanks for ending the torture. 😉
I can envision cover art from the lovely word image, Katie. Congrats!

Awesome title! Congratulations!
Unfortunately where I live weeds are also abundant after a snowy winter.
So exciting! Congrats on being that much closer to your release. I love the title…very intriguing.
I'm a big believer that God uses the physical world to help us understand the unveiling of His spiritual plans for us all the time!

In love with it!
Especially b/c our hibiscus and other flowers went nuts this year after our harsh winter…All of our flowers bloomed higher and more vibrant.
So cool!
