To All Readers of Author Haven

First let me say how much I appreciate your support of this blog. It's been a pleasure to serve you. If that sounds like a goodbye, well yes it is one.


I started this blog as a place where writers, many of them wounded in the fray that is the publishing world today, could heal, learn and grow. Over the past several years, with the help of three wonderful co-bloggers who shared my vision, Author Haven has truly become an online writing retreat. I intend to leave it up indefinitely and hope you will continue to access its many helpful posts. I'll continue to update the bookshop.


Read on to learn where you can find the regular contributors of Author Haven.

Marlene Anderson, MA, LMHC, NCC

Marlene Anderson now maintains an active forum where she helps the hurting. Here's a word from Marlene to you: It has been a privilege to write articles for Author Haven, sharing what I have learned in life both professionally and personally.   If you have found my blog posts encouraging and motivating, please join me on my website, Focus with Marlene Anderson, as I  continue to speak to and about the challenges we face today. My website is currently under renovation, but will soon be going strong with blogs and thought-provoking conversation starters.        Blessings, Marlene Anderson, MA, LMHC, NCC.

Michael Duncan

Michael Duncan has just celebrated the release of his debut novel, Shadows, first in the Book of Aleth fantasy series.  From Michael: To all those who have found their way to Author Haven, I want to thank you for your kindness and support.  This blog has been a delight. Truly the title has been deserved: a haven for authors who seek to fulfill their call to write. 


It was the ministry of Author Haven that kept me going forward with my desire to become a novelist.  The words and wisdom that I found here (and those tidbits that I offered) provided the needed impetus for me to press on.  Now, with my first novel in print and a second coming in the summer of 2012, I look back and know that being a part of Author Haven was integral to this accomplishment. 


To Janalyn, Marlene and Kathryn, I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of this and giving me a platform to voice my heart.  Thank you to all who have followed this blog and encouraged me with your comments and blessed me with your faith.  And, though we sign off here, I invite you to find me at my new address: Michael Duncan.  I pray that the mercy and grace of our Lord and Savior fill your lives in abundance.

As for me, Janalyn Voigt, I'm working on Tales of Faeraven, my epic fantasy series, and a historical romance while blogging from Live Write Breathe, my author blog. In addition I offer book giveaway drawings, author interviews, expert book reviews, and reader fun at Novel Books: Creative Writing. I've enjoyed the time I've spent with you here at Author Haven, and I hope you'll follow me over to my other digs.
