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 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)

Her new releases 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 monthly 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 three years, and recently found out she's expecting their first child! There will be a new little fan of reading around in July 2008!

When Betsy's not working full time for an oil & gas company or hard at work on her latest novel, you can probably find her on the treadmill with a book in her hand. (or shopping with a Diet Coke in her hand!) =)

Betsy also enjoys singing, watching chick flicks (The Notebook, The Lake House, and Princess Bride are 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, family and "son" Samson (a purebred black lab).

Happy Mother's Day. It still counts. I remember having my first Mother's Day when I was pregnant with my first. I think it counts. May the Lord be with you on this day as you celebrate the many Mother's Days ahead to come.

I wanted to let you know that you were in my thoughts and prayers as well as the thoughts of our Father.He has so many precious thoughts toward you that they cannot be counted. He stands over you and rejoices, with shouts of joy and singing. God knows you so well He even knows the number of hairs on your head. He has great plans for you. A wonderful future. What an awesome God we have, a God Whose love for us is incredible. May you go out today knowing that you are in His heart!
