Claiming Her Inheritance by Debra L. Butterfield

My debut novel, Claiming Her Inheritance, was birthed last week, March 16 to be exact. And yes, it’s very much like giving birth to a baby, but without all the pain.

My launch interview on March 16 with my publisher Tamara Clymer had my adrenaline pumping. I couldn’t sleep. Midnight arrived and rather than lie in bed awake, I sat down to start the next Sally Clark book. If you missed the interview, it’s available on YouTube.

In the next book, Sally heads to Montana to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with her new family. Along the way, a blizzard strands her in a small country church in western Kansas.

Start Your Year with Unshakable Faith

by

Unshakable Faith Bible study Leaders Guide

Would you like to be empowered with inner strength?

Are you frustrated that your faith seems to waver with the difficulties that comes your way?

That inner strength you desire is available to you through the Holy Spirit residing within you. And you can have faith that is unshakable!

I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

psalm 16:8 NLT

In these trying times, having unshakable faith is more essential than ever. That’s why I wrote the Unshakable Faith Bible study. I spent years learning the basics of faith, listening to sermons, attending Sunday school, and reading and studying the Bible.

Nowadays, very few churches even have Sunday school anymore, and I don’t want you to spend 20 years learning the basics. So I’ve covered the fundamentals and more in this 7-week study.

Where do I start?

The Motivational Editor Has Moved!

by

The Motivational Editor has moved to, of all places, TheMotivationalEditor.com!

My website changes weren’t as seamless as I had hoped. What made the process worse was that it began at the same time as the country went into lock down over COVID-19. What I thought would take days stretched into months.

I have been unable to post new blogs on this site or the new one. But now the work is done and the shift made. All the same great content on writing, editing, and publishing is still available. You’ll find it at TheMotivationalEditor.com. I’m still be freelance editing, but also writing more!

In the coming weeks, I’ll be updating this site to a new theme and new focus. DebraLButterfield.com will now be devoted strictly to my work as an author. So now my reader fans will have a place to find me, the author, instead of me, the editor.

Thank you for your patience in this process. I hope to have things up and running smoothly soon.
