Have you ever noticed that there are books in heaven? Some are sealed. Some are open. But they exist and, as Solomon wrote, "of the making of many books there is no end." He was not being cynical. He used the Hebrew word for eternity, without end.... So, my conclusion is that to be one of God's writers is an eternal calling. We will be able to keep writing forever. May my preparation here on earth set the tone and the direction for the books He will assign me to write in heaven! If God has called you to be one of His writers, may you embrace that calling with joy. Learn the craft. Write what He assigns you. Become skilled in following the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and let God determine who finds, reads, and hears your books. Let Him receive all the honor for allowing you to write an important book. Then trust Him for the next assignment.
Stories are my passion - especially when they provoke the confrontation of authentic faith in dysfunctional families. They also have to show honor, be redemptive of lost or untold stories, produce transformation and illustrate wisdom. Usually they also address historical issues of race in America. But they start in the heart and come out the pen weaving and leaving memories that remain long after the pages are shut.
About Me

Expect surprises to come from her pen.
