But too often I've been disappointed at lascivious sex scenes that could have been left out without any change in the plot.<br />That said, I'm looking forward to some great story lines that are clever and CLEAN. Shades of Esther?<br />Andrea. I do like the pen name, too. It has a nice ring to it.

Writing with both in mind is hard. I tip my hat to you (if I was born in another century) but in 2015 I am sure God can use you in your new books. There is always a still quiet voice in all we do when we are close to him.<br /><br />I do hope you find a new church you feel more at peace in too.

My goal is to simply write a great yarn, and find readers who may or may not share my worldview. Debbie Macomber is a very successful author who has sold over 130 million books. A Christian who writes for the general market. I'd like a turn!
