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

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

Track and Field competitor to create a program using an athletic as well as a
medical approach for self-help physical rehabilitation. He says, “Because my
patients have ranged from highly educated information seekers to less educated
“just tell me what works” individuals, the book has sections that go in depth
on explanations of the biology as well as sections that just hit the
highlights. Along with detailed picture explanations of the program, I believe
the contents of the book have something for everyone.”

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 loves—teaching, writing, and California. I’m really
looking forward to chatting online with other authors. The critiques and
sparking of ideas will be invaluable.

After
publishing a contemporary romance, Fresh Start,
with The Wild Rose Press, Claire gave in to her conscience and turned her talent
to inspirational romance. Once the burden of writing to please the masses was
eased from her shoulders, Claire unearthed a flood of story ideas that centered
around the challenges of living up to Christian ideals. 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. Learn more about Claire at www.clairesandersbooks.com .

I discovered my love of writing in third grade and have been doing it ever since. My fascination with the Bible, human nature, and life-and-death struggles compels me to craft spiritually, psychologically, and physically intense stories. I populate them with characters holding strong and opposing worldviews that inevitably lead to major conflicts. I like to challenge myself and my readers with where I take my stories and the themes woven throughout. My thriller, Fatal Reality, was a finalist in the Christian Writers Guild’s 2009 Operation First Novel contest. While I’m drawn mostly to fiction, I also dabble in non-fiction when a topic strikes my conscience. Often, I end up tackling controversial issues—though I don’t enjoy controversy—as I feel led in my heart. I live in Richmond, Virginia, where I run a freelance business called Wakefield Copywriting and Editing. I am married and have two sons.
