About Before I started pursuing publication I thought that all real writers write books. Now that I'm chasing that elusive thing called publication I realize that books are a small portion of the publishing world. There are many other paying markets for writers. To date my works are published in these venues: Articles based on personal stories for magazines like Mature Living and Sasee. Devotionals for magazines such as Open Windows, Upper Room and Christian Devotions. US. Inspirational poems for magazines like Alive, Word Aflame, and Bible Advocate. Stories for anthologies such as Whispering In God's Ear, Embrace of a Father, The Ultimate Gardener, Chicken Soup For The Chocolate Lover's Soul, and Christmas Miracles. I write in a variety of genre. Adult devotionals, children's picture books, and I'm working on an inspirational novel set in the South at the end of the Great Depression. Writing for publication is a never ending learning adventure. I pray I'm becoming more skilled each year as I seek to write (and publish) the stories God wants me to tell. Plus, I can't forget about blogging. It is an excellent way to force myself to write something creative every single day and to write tightly. Blog readers don't have time or patience for a lot of fluff. I'm also involved with planning a writer's conference called Write2Ignite! It's my way of extending a helping hand to others on the journey to publication. As you browse my website you'll find examples of my stories, articles, and poems. I hope you enjoy them. They are free to read. But I ask that you not copy them or send them out in emails, etc. If you'd like to share one of my pieces just send the intended recipient my website address, please. Thanks, again, for dropping in. Grace and Peace, Jean 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
