Jolene Griffith, authorGreetings,

Most of my adult life was spent cocooned in a laboratory.  But I was my happiest when dragging data from instrumentation that would tell all about the sample I just ran.  Yeah, I was one dweeb, a nerd who loved scientific research. 

Sundays found me teaching my daughter's Sunday School Class and I loved doing that, too.  I never forgot about teaching youngsters and the love God has for them.

Then the unthinkable happened and I was struck with multiple sclerosis.  Within a few years, I found myself disabled and torn away from the thing I thought I loved most.  God whispered in my ear, "Return to your first love."  He redeemed my life with a love I would never have imagined -- writing about Him for children. 

I tried submitting my stories and articles to all the children's magazines, but the rejections piled up.  Then I latched onto Bible Fiction.  Now I could immerse myself in God's word while simultaneously writing stories that were true, with characters and dialogue that were possible -- even modernly vernacular. 

While I'm freshest writing children's sports stories, (I'm a retired softball and basketball player -- before the WNBA) writing inspirational stories about Bible heroes lights my fire today. 

I'm a living testament to God's redeeming love, and although my writing hasn't found itself on the best seller's list, I'm happy to contribute to the Lord's best seller, for His best, our children. 

In His service,
Jolene
