Background
Information
|
|
I have been a Bible Scholar and teacher for over 30 years and now work in a Christian Montessori Day School. Married to John for 51 years, mother of 4, Grandmother of 6, great-grandmother of 1. Major influences have been the rural community and values with which and in which I was raised, the Bible in several versions, and authors such as Pascal, C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien, Trueblood, and many Sci.Fi. writers.
In the interim before rejoining AuthorsDen, I have compiled two new books of poetry and am working on a third; Revised Angel World Trilogy and renamed it Windfallow Chronicles. Also wrote two more books for the series, and am working on book six. I've also become a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and watch some part of it every day.
My latest adventure has been designing and publishing a collection of my best poetry from 40+ years of writing. SPLINTERS OF LIGHT was published by XLibris and is now available in all markets. To see a description of the book and to order an autographed copy, please go to www.mindsinger.com and click on 'the store'. SPLINTES OF LIGHT is available in soft back, hard back and ebook formats; also available from the Amazon Kindle store.

In the past few months I have been putting my work online as ebooks. The first five will be the Windfallow series, or the Chronicles of Windfallow. The first book, THE GREAT BELL, Rocks And Gold, The Deceiver, Carnivore and A Curious Light are now available . Hopefully, from this site as well as many others.
RACHEL'S DAUGHTERS will be republished as an ebook under the title, "THE OTHER SIDE OF CHRISTMAS", and my collected works of poetry in SPLINTERS OF LIGHT, will be published in this fasion soon. I have joined the Christian Science & Fantasy site. This is a good one to find, especially for Christian authors.
My newest book, SPLINTERS OF LIGHT, is now available on all book markets as well as Amazon Kindle. It is a resource for devotionals, sermons and authors. Two hundred pages of poems and short prose pieces, it contains the award winning poem, "Minnie Remembers" and is introduced by Gloria Gaither.
