I’m so honored to find Belle a finalist for the renowned Christy Award! My first Christy final was for Love’s Reckoning back in 2013. I sat by my agent at that glittering gala in St. Louis. Though I didn’t win I was still thrilled to final. Fast forward a few years & I’m so grateful for my wins & another final! I used to think I’d stop writing if I won just once but now, as long as God gifts me writing, I’ll keep trying to shine even a tiny fictional light in a world of darkness. For His glory. In the end that’s all that truly matters. Thank you to the Christy Award for your dedication to edifying fiction!
