Author Interview

Meet Colleen Coble

Multi-award-winning author Colleen Coble was born and raised in the Midwest area of Indiana. Her upbringing, as well as her voracious reading appetite, gave her the tools to create some thirty-five-plus novels. In her own words she explained, “I remember the night I finished a book and told the Lord how tired I was of reading books that assumed He didn’t exist. I told God I’d do my best to write for Him, but He would have to open the doors.”

The Golden Silence

I understand children are a gift from God, but that doesn’t stop me from suffering moments when I’d like a refund. Or an exchange. Maybe one child for two cats and a gerbil. Or a rabbit.
