pages of the following writers.
N.J. Lindquist (Nancy) has been a good friend in
the writing community since we met at a God Uses Ink conference a few years
ago. We have frequently critiqued each other's material prior to publication.
She has published a number of youth novels, a mystery, . . . well why not
visit her site?
Eric E. Wright I have known for some time, but I really
got to know him by reading his book Through a Country
Window. Eric has worked in Asia and Ontario as a teacher, pastor,
freelance writer, and seminary professor. Click on the button to begin
your journey to his site.
Mark Clayton, among other things,
coordinates publications at Partners International. That makes him my editor
for A Bridge to the Mountain. He belongs to The Word Guild and just
happens to be Anna's nephew. Have a look at his personal
web site.
Sandy McMurray also belongs to The Word Guild. He functions as the
webmaster for their great site. If you need help with computer problems,
or even if you don't, check out his professional site.
Keith Clemons lives just down the road from Fergus near
Orangeville (okay, a few country miles down the road). He has written a great
novel that deals with the ugliness and evil of abortion and
euthanasia. Follow the links to his publisher's site--from there you
can link to his personal site.
Linda Hall's book Sadie's Song is a must read for people in
pastoral or counselling ministry--even if they claim not to read
novels! It gives a reader insight into abuse within the church, and
becomes a tool to use with someone in abusive circumstances. Check Linda's
site for it and other great books by this award-winning author.
Marcia Lee Laycock writes a weekly column, "The Spur." You can read
it at her website or order her book, The Spur of the
Moment. I first met Marcia at an Inscribe conference in Edmonton. She
lives in Alberta about 100 km from where I grew up--and she attended the same
college. Small world!
Donna Mann lives near Mount Forest, about 50 kilometres north of
Fergus. We first met at a God Uses Ink Christian writers conference in Guelph.
God has gifted Donna in many ways--as a pastor, a writer, and a
grief councillor. Go to her web site to check out her newest book, WinterGrief.
Kevin Miller--Formerly, a virtual friend, I had met only on line, we later met face-to-face at Write!
Canada in June/04. Have a look at his interesting web site.
Elma Schemenauer I first met in college. When we met again years later we
didn't recognize each other. Why not? Women often change their last names and men go bald and grow beards.
Elma has written more books than many people have read. Go to her web site and count them!
Angelina Fast-Vlaar won the First-Time Canadian Christian Author Award for her non-fiction
manuscript Seven Angels for Seven Days: A Widow's Journey (June 2004). Have a look at her web
site to learn about her other writing activities.
Kimberly Payne and I worked with a third writer to deliver a newspaper column-writing
seminar at the November 2004 Write! Toronto conference. Check out her web site to stay fit.
