I'm a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers guild and have fantastic critique partners I met there! I also have numerous friends/mentors that have helped me learn the craft of writing. I continue to grow and learn so much every day! But the most important thing for my heart to remember is that without God, my words are in vain.

About Betsy Ann St. Amant
|
|
Betsy Ann St. Amant, an inspirational author in North Louisiana, has a heart for three things - chocolate, red polka dot shoes, and sharing the amazing news of God's grace through her writing.
Her published works include a new release by Steeple Hill Love Inspired, RETURN TO LOVE, July 2009. The sequel is A VALENTINE'S WISH and will hit stores February 2010. Betsy's third book with Steeple Hill, RODEO SWEETHEART, is set for an April 2010 release.
Betsy also has a romantic suspense by the title of Midnight Angel, published by The Wild Rose Press. It's currently available through Amazon.com or Borders.com! (or click on the link under the cover art to purchase the book)
Other novels include two short story e-books, also available through The Wild Rose Press (www.thewildrosepress.com) entitled "If Wishes Were Dog Biscuits" and "The SS Grace".
Betsy had a short story published in Volume Two of the book by Xulon Press, "Praise Reports: Inspiring Real Life Stories of How God Answers Prayers" and a short story in "Life Savors for Women" - by Tyndale House. She also contributes regular articles on faith and marriage to Crosswalk.com. Her humorous poem on the topic of writers block was published in the February 2007 issue of The Christian Communicator magazine.
If you thought she wasn't busy enough already, she ALSO hosts author interviews on her blogsite: www.betsy-ann.blogspot.com. You can visit her there or on her author website - www.betsystamant.com!
A few facts about Betsy:
She's been happily married to her husband Brandon for almost five years, and recently gave birth to an adorable baby girl - Audrey Elise. Yep, there's a new little fan of reading in the St. Amant household! =)
As a new stay at home mom - well, make that work at home mom! - Betsy stays busy crawling after her daughter and writing on her latest novel. You can also usually find her somewhere with a book and some chocolate in her hand. (or shopping for shoes with a Diet Coke in her hand!) =)
Betsy also enjoys singing, watching chick flicks (The Notebook, The Lake House, and Princess Bride are just a few of her favs!), eating Nerds (she thinks the red ones are the best!), shopping (Betsy firmly believes a girl can NEVER have too many shoes!), watching hockey games (Go Louisiana Mudbugs!) and spending time with her friends and family.

INCITE: Compassion
We all know the story... After a time of careless living the prodigal son returns to the home of a loving father who awaits him with open arms.
Just as this father welcomed his son, at the heart of God's plan of redemption is a father's heart of compassion. Who, regardless of your history, waits for you with open arms.

LIFEF: From Your Friends at
Lingk2us.com
What makes you uniquely special? What would you do if time or money were of no object? Or what big idea have you been quietly nursing as time passes by?
Many of us spend our lives trying to answer these questions to no avail while others push these thoughts aside and get on with the business of practical living. As human beings, we are all not only born with inherent gifts, talents and abilities, but also posses the capacity to directly or indirectly impact our immediate surroundings. Yet somehow, much of it gets lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. Think about the things you did as a kid, when you were limited only by your imagination?before paying the mortgage became the priority or well intended friends and family members callously wrote on the tablets of your heart. If you could mentally revisit that simpler time; obvious clues about your authentic self and your life's purpose would become apparent. Were you the 'go to' kid in the block? You know, the popular one!The one who's natural leadership ability and 'Big' ideas rallied the group into action. Or maybe you were the more creative type. The kid who explored every hue under the rainbow and through the use of odds and ends and other homespun materials, created imaginative designs that far superseded the ability of his peers. Whoever you are; remember that your true self (the kid you have been carrying with you all along) along side time, money and your ability to dream big are God given assets to help you reach your fullest potential. And remember that as long as you have the gift of life it's never to late explore the possibilities.

Wow, that is really neat! :D I notice you're a member of the Jane Austen Addicts (I am awaiting approval to get in.) What is your favorite book by her?
