| Publisher's Weekly came out with an article about a controversy that's been hot in cyberspace for a few weeks now. It's about Asian American Christians, Youth Specialties (yeah, guys, the BASIC youth group uses their resources, you know), and my publisher, Zondervan.
I blogged about it here:
Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Need a title for book two
Only Uni
That's the working title of book two in my Sushi Series. I don't think anyone
even knows what uni is. And those who do probably think it's one of the
grossest things ever eaten. If you haven't figured out by now, I'm hopeless at
titles.
So that's where you come in! Any ideas for my new title?
Since the series is the Sushi Series, the name should reference Asian food
or Asian food utensils.
Here's the story 411:
Book Description:
This is the second book of a proposed four-book series about four cousins: Lex,
Trish, Venus and Jennifer. This is Trish's story, while each of the other books
focuses on the other cousins as heroines. The cousins appear in all four books.
They are all Asian American, fourth generation. Lex and Trish are full Japanese
ethnicity, while Venus and Jennifer are half Japanese and half Chinese.
Sushi Series Overview
Four cousins—Lex the Jock, Trish the Vamp, Venus the Swan, and Jennifer the
Oddball—commiserate their single status in the San Francisco Bay Area. As the
only Christians in their large extended family, they vow to fight the stigma of
the infamous family title, Oldest Single Female Cousin. But they have very
different ideas about not acting as desperate as they feel about their bleak
love lives. Who knew God would have His own plans of true love for each of
them?
Book 2 story blurb
Flirty biologist Trish Sakai has alienated her best friends and her family
because of her wild behavior with her artist ex-boyfriend, Kazuo. Then she
finds her father kissing another woman, and her mom suffers a heart attack.
Convinced God is punishing her for her sexual promiscuity, Trish comes up with
three rules from First and Second Corinthians: 1) Stop looking at guys, 2) Only
date Christians, and 3) Persevere in hardship by relying on God. If she follows
them, God will restore her life to the way it was before her mistakes. If she
can somehow regain her chastity, she won't feel as dirty and unworthy as she
does now. They're only three rules. How hard can it be?
Spenser Wong finds himself attracted to his coworker Trish, but his dinner
invitation gets slammed down with a lame excuse about Corinthians and rules.
That cools his ardor pretty quick. But then Spenser discovers that his old
enemy Kazuo needs Trish as the "muse" for his unfinished masterpiece
painting due in a few months for a gallery show. Kazuo pursues Trish with
everything he's got, but Spenser decides to throw a wrench in Kazuo's plans by
pretending to pursue Trish himself.
Trish is going nuts trying to stand firm against two hunky guys. Her three
simple rules aren't so simple anymore . . .
Well??? Any title ideas?

| Jesus loves porn stars.
I first read about XXXchurch in Relevant magazine. They are an organization that seeks to help people addicted to porn, whether non-Christian or Christian, whether teens, career people, or pastors. They are also committed to making the modern church aware of the problems of porn addiction and to bring it out into the open so that people can receive healing.
They are a brave bunch. Every year, they rent a booth at the largest porn convention in the country and seek to reach the people who attend. God is moving through them to rescue his people.
Check out their website at www.XXXchurch.com.They have resources and articles not just about porn, but also about tough topics that the church tends to shy away from, like masturbation (Save the Kittens). They also offer resources for parents (Pete the Porno Puppet).
There’s also a project called Pornmobile Confessions which has a podcast. It’s not only a powerful documentary, but it’s also open to music artists who are willing to donate their songs for the tape. You can check out the website for more information.
