Dahveed 6: Update 3

Progress on Dahveed 6 may be slow, but it is there!!  I've completed the review, selection, and rough sort of the note cards for the book.  Now, I am reading the story from 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles again in the Hebrew, looking for clues in the text for help in plotting the story.  For instance, in 1 Chronicles 15:2 the word translated "chose" and describing the Levites is Bet Het Resh in the Hebrew.  But in 1 Chronicles 16:41, the word used to describe the "chosen" Levites sent to Gibeon is Bet Resh Resh.  The first means to carefully select the best.  The second means to select through elimination.  So, why are different words used to describe the Levites who were "chosen?"  What are the implication of the two words?  How are they used elsewhere in the story?  What might the author of 1 Chronicles be hinting at when he chose two different words?  More questions like the above can sometimes lead to interesting plot twists.

Please continue to keep me in your prayers, that this book will be written when and how God wants it to be.  God Bless.

Dahveed 6: More news

Thanks so much to all of you who have kept me in your prayers.  My dad's health has stabilized enough that I am back on a schedule where progress on Dahveed 6 is possible.  I finished my review of all my note cards -- over 10,000 of them -- and am currently doing "catch-up" research.  Next step, pulling the note cards I will use for Dahveed 6.  Then I will begin to plot the book.  But, one step at a time!!

Dahveed 6

I had a little project that needed to be done before I began reviewing note cards for Dahveed 6.  I needed to get all my note cards typed into the computer.  I've worked on it sporadically for three or four years, but never really made it a priority.  December, January, and February, I made it a priority.  There are now over 10,000 note cards in various files on my computer where they are--finally!!--easily searchable!  The cards are also tagged, so the current project is to review all the tags, subdivide and combine as necessary, and then pull out the ones for Dahveed 6.  I found a lot of cards that applied to Dahveed 6 while I was typing them in . . . So progress toward the last book of the series is on-going.

However, my father's health is declining, and a good portion of my time is, at this point, taken up with helping him.  Please pray that God's will and God's timing prevail for both my Dad and Dahveed 6.

Book Signing Scheduled

For those of you in the area, the Christian Book Center in Berrien Springs, MI has scheduled a book signing for me on Sunday, Nov 30, 2014, from noon to 3 p.m.  I'll be there to answer questions about my books as well as sign them. 

From comments I've seen and heard, Dahveed 5 turned out to be a good book.  Thanks so much for all your patience and encouragement as I wrote it!


I just thought of something.  On more than one occasion, the CBC here in Berrien has held a book for me to sign before shipping it out.  So Sunday, the 30th would be a good opportunity for having books for gifts to be signed.  Just call 1-877-277-4800, tell them which book to set aside for me to sign, leave the name of the person who will receive the book--please spell the name for me!--and after I've signed it, they will ship it out.  This might be helpful for those of you outside the southwest Michigan area.

Dahveed 5 is now available!

Thank you all so much for your patience!  Dahveed 5 is shipping, and can be ordered through your local ABC store.  If the ABC near you closed, click on "Ordering Information" on the main menu of my website: www.terrilfivash.com and contact the Berrien Springs ABC.  They will be happy to take your order.  For those of you waiting for the e-book, it is still on track for a November 1 release.  Spread the word.  Word-of-mouth is the only marketing I have.  God Bless.  Terri.

Dahveed 1 again available as an e-book!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Dahveed 1 can again be purchased as an e-book! It is the author’s corrected edition now available.

Look for Dahveed 2 in the near future. The author’s edition of that will be significantly different than the previous e-book put out by the publisher. A couple of significant errors will be corrected, and deleted scenes added back in!

For those of you who use the Book Nook, I’m working on it! Barnes and Noble changed their publishing platform, and I’m still working the formatting kinks out of the files. Watch my posts for updates.

It's Done!

Dahveed 5 latest re-write is finished.  Formatting for editing is complete, and the first installment has gone to the editor!  I'm very happy with the way the story shaped itself.  Definitely better.  We'll see what the advance readers think, and go from there.  Thanks for all the prayers.  Please continue!
