Walk Worthy Press: Flippin' The Script

Author Testimony

I can't name the exact day I became a Christian. I was probably three or four years old. I've grown up in church and lived in an awesome Christian family.

So why do I write Christian fiction? Well, I've always loved to read. And I guess I'd say that I write fiction because I love a good story. I'm a fan of most genres of novels, but I'd have to say I favor a good romantic comedy. And if Christmas (my favorite time of year!) figures into the plot in any way, then I get really excited.

When people ask me who I write for...who my target audience of readers is, I can't pin it down to any one age or gender or even ethnicity. I try my best to write an entertaining story for people who like to read good books. And hopefully, the story itself will transcend all of the other particulars.

When I first got into writing, people with more experience in the field told me to write the kind of books I wanted to read. And that's what I try to do! (However, I haven't yet come up with a great plot for a Christmas themed romantic comedy... Hopefully, one of these days, it'll come to me.)

Christianity is a primary part of my characters' lives, because it's a primary part of who I am. People also tell aspiring writers to write what you know, and I know about being a Christian. I know that praying the prayer of salvation didn't make me perfect overnight (or even twenty-something years later!) I know that Christians experience real emotions and face real problems, and that sometimes, we put on happy faces even though we are hurting inside.

But I also know that God is the inventor of GRACE and that He is patient above and beyond anything I can ask or even imagine. And that's the main message I hope to convey in anything I write.
