Tell us a little about yourself. We are a mother and daughter writing team currently residing in New England. We began writing the "Unshakable Faith" series in 2010. Our second book in the series will be coming out soon.
What was your motivation behind this project? Our genealogical record consists of several interesting events. The first book in the "Unshakable Faith" series utilizes one of these events as a starting point for the book--namely the wreck of the Angel Gabriel in 1635. Additionally, one night in early 2010, as we were conversing, we found that we both had been thinking about writing. Moreover, we were astonished to learn that we had the same time frame in mind--a time depicting this nation's godly heritage. I have to say that, after learning that we both had a desire to write this particular series of books, it felt as if God was directing us.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? We intend to incorporate a brief gospel message into each of our books. We hope that there might be some who will be moved by the salvation message. As each of the books will contain a bit of history, we trust that they may be educational as well. Additionally, we hope to entertain folks with wholesome relationships overflowing with romance.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Besides learning a lot during the research phase of the book, we were humbled by the fact that others would be reading our words. Words that we hoped would, not only entertain, but would draw them closer to God.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Some of our favorite authors are: Lori Wick, Julie Klassen, Dee Henderson, Kristen Heitzmann and many others.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Charles Bryant—the world’s best husband and father, meticulously perused our manuscripts and offered helpful edits and suggestions.
Nate Dorman, an exceptional son-in-law and husband, willingly offered his support for the time his wife devoted to writing the book. Additionally, his excitement over the series has been encouraging
