Welcome to Dorey Whittaker Books
I am the girl who should not have lived;
Except God had Other Plans for Me. .
I am an Award Winning First Time Author;
Without Proper Credentials;
My Genre of Choice is Christian Fiction;
These are not your grandma’s old stories;
This Novel started it all in 1996
51 and dying
63 and still alive
written in 1996 when i thought i was dying
All Six prior novels were to prepare me
to write my story
I Had Worked In The Business World Since The Age Of 18
AND I LOVED IT! BUT WHEN GOD WANTED TO CHANGE MY FOCUS
(FOR ME) GOD NEEDED TO SLAM CLOSED THE DOOR
I HAD ALWAYS USED, BECAUSE IT WAS KNOWN TO ME
and GOD gently backed me into a career I WOULD HAVE RESISTED
BECAUSE I WAS NOT AN AUTHOR -
I COULD NEVER BECOME AN AUTHOR -
I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO BE AN AUTHOR -
SO WHAT DID GOD DO -
HE MADE ME AN AUTHOR - IN SPITE OF MYSELF
I spent years, protecting my manuscript from critics;
Oh, I shared it with friends and family, because I was NOT
an AUTHOR! I Am just a Person Who Has Great Character
living in my head. AUTHORS have CREDENTIALS;
AND I DID NOT; so the prospect of, “Professional Critics,”
“KILLING MY DREAM,” terrified me.
I protected my baby for 12 Long Years.
In 2004, after attending a Women Of Faith Conference, I felt moved to submit my manuscript for Consideration, in their, “So You Think You Can Write? Contest!!
I Did Not Win – But My Manuscript Impressed Them!
My Manuscript Floated Around For 3-4 Years Until Thomas Nelson
Publishing Picked It Up, but I was so excited by their offer, that I
got taken in by a "Vanity Press Deal;"
It Happens to many Wannabe Writers, but YOU MUST LEARN
FROM YOUR MISTAKES, AND MOVE ON!!
BUT GOD -- Don't you just Love It When God Uses Our Mistakes
to Turn Things Around For Us!
He Took That "Vanity Press Edition," in the hands of a Fan, who felt
lead to enter That Novel into a Contest For First Time Authors
WHICH WON ME, AUTHOR OF DISTINCTION,
and An Interview On CBS RADIO; GOD IS GOOD!!
