2025 Writer Update #3

Writer Updates

Shelley Shepard Gray and Pepper Basham are unable to Rendezvous with us this year. We’re sorry to miss this opportunity to spend time with these ladies. Shelley has a family wedding to attend. Our congratulations to the bride and groom! Pepper has recently moved (and is commuting for her day job). Join us in praying for these families during their busy seasons.

You can learn more about Shelley Shepard Gray and her books on her website at shelleyshepardgray.com and Pepper Basham and her books on her website pepperdbasham.com.

Cheer your sad reader-heart by adding Unshaken and Sense and Suitability to your shelves or favorite ereader. You can find these, as well as other featured titles and recent releases from Shelley, Pepper, and participating writers, in the JustRead Amazon Storefront.

Join us in welcoming our two new 2025 writers, Liz Bradford and Jenny Erlingsson! We are so thankful to these two ladies for stepping in on short notice.

Virtual Gathering Places

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. – Proverbs 16:24 

Come one, come all to the Rendezvous Community Facebook group! This group is a great place to ask readers and writers about their experience at past events, and it’s open to anyone interested in Rendezvous.

Once you’ve registered for this year’s Rendezvous, you’re ready to connect with fellow 2025 attendees via BAND (this popular desktop or app community platform has email notification capabilities and is linked on the registration form)! Sneak peeks, buddy reads, travel/lodging coordination, and frequently asked questions are just a few of the topics we’ll cover in the weeks leading up to this year’s event. We encourage all attendees to connect before and after the event through BAND.

Let us know if you’re familiar with our new additions!
Will you Rendezvous in St. Louis this November?
