Gail Poag Smith asked Melanie Dickerson:

I am reading your latest (I think) book The Maiden Warrior and it came into my life during a really trying time. God has used the scriptures and prayers in the book to encourage & help me during a very difficult time of life. I'm looking forward to reading more by you. By any chance are familiar with Cecil Murphey? I worked for him for a few years. Gail P. Smith

Melanie Dickerson Hi, Gail! That is very sweet of your to tell me. I'm so glad to hear it.
Yes, I get Cecil Murphey's newsletter! He actually provided a scholarship that helped me go to the ACFW writers conference when I was still trying to get published! I met with my future editor at Zondervan at that conference! And I recognize your name as well as his assistant. God bless Cecil Murphey and God bless you. :-)
