Normandie and her husband Michael sail as evangelists wherever the Lord leads them on board Sea Venture, a 50-foot ketch that has been plying Pacific waters and the Sea of Cortez in recent years. She's been a sailor all her life, still plays with her sharpie, Puff, in coastal NC waters, and loves having graduated from dinghies to their on-the-water home. She studied sculpture in Italy and Washington, DC, taught sculpture and placed commissioned work in homes and offices all over the country before deciding that she really wanted to pursue her other love: writing. Having worked as an editor and technical writer, she found the transition to crafting fiction a stretch. She'd spent years paring. Now she had to enlarge, describe, manage dialogue. In the process, several novels found their way into the shredder, where they certainly belonged. Then she began a fun series, the partial of which won the Alpha Award for best new fiction at the Sandy Cove Christian Writers' Conference. But the whole wasn't quite Christian enough, said the editors. So she wrote an action memoir for actor, director, and producer Reza Fazeli entitled Survivor. It's a fun story full of murder, mayhem, and miracles, and is available in English at Amazon. Another manuscript completed, and enter an agent whose enthusiasm promised much and delivered nothing, not even with a second new women's fiction story in her hands. Exit same agent, and now here Normandie is, in the hands of professionals. Such fun. www.normandiefischer.com

I'm a Christian day school teacher and author living in Aliso Viejo, California. I grew up devouring books and still do. My goal is to write lively, entertaining, and humorous fiction which will also let children know in a gentle way that Jesus loves them and will help them through any problem. During my early days of teaching, I wrote a great deal of curricular and devotional material for Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis. That led to my being asked to become head of the children's book department. When I got there, I found the book department had been closed for three years, was $300,000.00 in debt, and everyone who knew how to make a book had been fired! With God's blessing and a great marketing partner, I gradually came to be in charge of children's, family, devotional, and teacher resource books. By the time I left nine years later we were making 90 books a year and the book department showed a greater percentage of profit than any other segment in the publishing house. Now I'm back to my greatest love, teaching, writing, and California. I'm really looking forward to chatting online with other authors. The critiques and sparking of ideas will be invaluable.

Her current work-in-progress is about a terminally ill man who believes he must ease his way into heaven by seeking forgiveness from those he's wronged. He sends his nephew to the house of his ex-wife's sister in order to ask her to visit him. But she is visibly upset by the request and sends a one-line note to the dying man. I never told. The meaning of the enigmatic note and Christ's teaching about forgiveness are revealed as the nephew struggles with his loyalty to his uncle and his love for the young woman. Claire lives in the Houston area with her teenage daughter. When she's not writing, you can find her working in the garden, walking her two very spoiled dogs, and dreaming of places to travel.

Since signing with Hartline Ann has signed to publish New Garden's Crossroads in the Quakers of New Garden (3/1/12) Novella Collection with Barbour Publications. I have wanted to write since I was in third grade. I earned a degree in agricultural communications from Purdue University in 1985, where my two favorite classes were soil science and creative writing. For 10 years after college I was a full-time news reporter and photographer at small local papers and one farm-oriented weekly here in Indiana. My husband and I have three children and a full-time farm in northern Indiana where we raise grain, hay, beef cattle and free-range poultry. I have sold a few devotional articles since leaving the newspaper. I am a member of ACFW and enjoy time spent with fellow Hoosier writers.

I did not begin seriously writing until a few years ago, Christian based novels with a ghostly edge. Currently I am employed at Francis Marion University as the coordinator of the RN to BSN Program, which I developed. I am also adjunct faculty with Indiana Wesleyan University teaching on-line Transcultural Nursing, Geriatrics, and Population Health. I am a frequent speaker on health issues, bio-terrorism preparation, and end of life considerations. I was asked a couple of years ago to provide a monthly lesson to a group of retired women at our church.
Since coming to Hartline has signed a contract for her novels Women of Valley View:Callie and Women of Valley View:Terri with Harbourlight Books - “You gave up too soon.” Five words from an aspiring author that awakened a dream in my life I’d been trying to ignore. I’ve known for twenty-five years that this is what God called me to do, but I wanted to do it my way. My way didn’t work so well, so I hid my calling, and buried my dreams, for a lot of years. Then one day a new friend spoke those words to me and it was like a light bulb switched on in my heart and soul. Write for Me and do it My way. “OK,” says I, and here I am. I’ve fallen in love with the characters in my series. I hope I can pass those feelings along to my readers. &n | ||||
