Three Books, Two #1 New Releases, One Launch Day

Three Books, Two #1 New Releases, One Launch Day

Erica Kingsbury, author of the Juniper Creek series (Girl in the Barn, Road Home, Uprooted) and Not Alone: God's Presence on the Path of the Special Needs Mom On July 2nd, Erica Kingsbury did something most authors never attempt — she released three books at once. Two of them hit #1 New Release in their categories on launch day. In this episode, Erica and Carolyn pull back the curtain on how a summer typing project with her nine-year-old son turned into a full middle-grade fiction series, why they made the "absolutely crazy" decision to launch all three books simultaneously instead of staggering them, and what it actually cost — late nights, tangled edits across three manuscripts, and a promise to her husband that she'd never do it again. They also talk beta reader reactions, favorite characters, what's coming in book four, and why no author should be building alone. What You'll Hear In This Episode How Juniper Creek was born from a mother-son typing project during summer break Why Erica thought she was called to write nonfiction for moms — and what changed her mind The real reasoning behind releasing three books at once (and the editing nightmare that followed) What it felt like to wake up to a #1 New Release ranking on launch morning Beta reader reactions to that book two cliffhanger (a parental preparedness warning is issued) Erica and Carolyn's favorite books in the series What's next for Juniper Creek in book four and beyond Erica's advice for any author sitting on a series idea that feels too big to start Quotable "Your book is not just a story — it's the infrastructure for a movement you're already building." — Dr. Carolyn Wiley "You don't eat an elephant all at once. You eat it one bite at a time." — Erica Kingsbury, on tackling a series that feels too big Parental Preparedness Warning No spoilers here, but book two ends on a cliffhanger. Buy book three at the same time — you'll want it.

From Rock Bottom to The Fire Inside: Stacy Dodd's Redemption Story

This one is personal. Stacy Dodd walked into my life over ten years ago during one of my darkest seasons — and through a small group he and his wife Stephanie opened their home to, I met my husband Bryan. So when I tell you this episode means something to me, I mean it all the way down. But this conversation isn't really about me. It's about what God does when someone finally stops running. Stacy Dodd was a homeless meth addict living in the woods by the time he was 33. He went to prison. He met Jesus in a prison cell. And he walked out under those gates swearing he would never go back. (He goes back twice a week now. Voluntarily. With a Bible and a sign-in sheet.) Today Stacy is a certified intervention professional, nonprofit CEO, Mississippi State Representative for Celebrate Recovery Inside, and the author of five books — including his brand new release from Rose & Pearl Publishing, The Fire Inside: How God Turned Rock Bottom Into a Kingdom Assignment. In this episode, we talk about: What it felt like to share his testimony in front of 1,300 people for the first time — and what his pastor said two weeks later Why rock bottom might be the greatest gift you never asked for The difference between the person and the person on chemicals (this reframe alone is worth the listen) What Celebrate Recovery Inside actually looks like inside a jail cell How to know if you're enabling vs. helping — and the hard line Stacy draws The Holy Spirit as the secret weapon nobody talks about enough What's coming in his next book, The Interventionist Whether you're in the middle of your own story, or you're exhausted from loving someone through theirs — Stacy has something to say to you today. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Personal Connection 03:05 The Power of Testimony 06:39 Stacy's Journey from Addiction to Redemption 11:09 Finding Christ in Prison 14:59 The Impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 18:37 Celebrate Recovery Inside: A Lifeline for Inmates 21:11 Navigating Jail Ministry 25:18 Understanding Addiction and the Role of Chemicals 28:52 The Holy Spirit: The Fire Inside 31:48 The Value of Self-Worth and Guidance 34:22 The Transformative Power of Rock Bottom 40:17 Navigating Addiction: Support for Families 44:20 Becoming an Interventionist: A Personal Journey 51:01 Understanding Enabling vs. Support 57:38 Published Pearl Youtube Intro Video (1).mp4 📖 Grab The Fire Inside now: Amazon Paperback/Kindle → https://amzn.to/4bjPo9w Hardback releasing soon — check back! 📚 All five of Stacy's books: Amazon Author Page →https://amzn.to/4vJ7QRn 🌐 Connect with Stacy: https://stacydodd.com 📞 Need help?

Get Your Book In The Spotlight

What's the difference between authors who land national media and authors who stay invisible? It's not talent — it's PR. In this episode, USC-trained publicist Jasmine Bloemhof (aka Jazz) pulls back the curtain on what real PR looks like for authors, why you don't need a massive national stage to see results, and how her BLOOM Method™ takes experts from invisible to undeniable. Jasmine has secured 1,500+ media placements and generated over 1 billion media impressions for her clients across TV, podcasts, and national outlets. In this conversation, she breaks down: ✨ How she got started in PR and what 20 years in the industry has taught her ✨ What PR actually is — and what authors get wrong about it ✨ The BLOOM Method™ framework, step by step ✨ Whether you need a national stage to make PR work for you ✨ Can you really do your own PR? What that takes — and where most authors get stuck ✨ The real difference between DIY PR and bringing in a publicist ✨ Why visibility isn't vanity — it's stewardship of the message you're called to share Jasmine's BLOOM Inner Circle is a 6-month cohort that includes her signature framework, live coaching, monthly pitch reviews, and a guarantee: your first media placement within 60 days, in writing. Founding spots are limited and close June 30 — the next cohort doesn't open again until January 2027. 👉 Book your free Clarity Call with Jasmine here: https://calendly.com/jasminebloemhof/discovery-call [https://calendly.com/jasminebloemhof/discovery-call] Connect with Jasmine: 🌐 https://bloomintothespotlight.com [https://bloomintothespotlight.com/] 🎙️ The Published Pearl Podcast helps Christian authors turn their books into strategic business assets and movements.

Are you wrestling with wisdom at your crossroads?

Unlock the profound power of wisdom rooted in the Mississippi Delta and discover how faith, poetry, and storytelling can transform your life—starting today. When Billy Howell—better known as Chilly Billy—and his wife Madge introduce their groundbreaking book, Wrestling with Wisdom at the Crossroads, they reveal a spiritual blueprint designed to deepen your understanding, ignite your creativity, and strengthen your walk with God. This isn't just about poetry or aphorisms—it's a way to see your life's crossroads as opportunities for divine transformation. Billy’s journey from a small-town Mississippi boy to a philosophical voice steeped in Delta culture is a masterclass in authenticity and purpose. His vivid aphorisms—over 2,700 written since 2015—are more than words; they are reflections on addiction, recovery, faith, and the paradoxes of life. Madge’s illustrations breathe life into these truths, turning them into visual meditations that anchor your soul. Together, they craft a narrative where faith meets art, and the sacred merges effortlessly with the ordinary. In this episode, you'll discover how to incorporate Scripture into daily conversations, create meaningful rituals, and engage all your senses in spiritual growth. Billy and Madge share practical insights on starting a devotional practice, hosting intimate faith gatherings, and embracing imperfections in your publishing journey—all rooted in a genuine desire to walk closer with God. They break down the transformational interplay between reading aloud, engaging multiple learning styles, and the importance of community in fostering spiritual resilience. You’ll learn about their Mississippi Delta tours—fellowship in motion—and how their unique culture shapes their understanding of faith, creativity, and belonging. Their story is a call to embrace your own crossroads, recognizing them as divine opportunities for growth and obedience. This episode is perfect for authors, spiritual seekers, and believers eager to merge artistry with authentic faith. If you’ve ever felt the nudge to share your story but hesitated, this episode reminds you: your voice matters. Your story can inspire change, and your journey is part of a larger Kingdom purpose. Whether you're a writer, a leader, or simply hungry for deeper wisdom, Billy and Madge’s insights will empower you to step boldly into your next chapter.
