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.

Betsy also recently contracted a contemporary romance novel with Steeple Hill Love Inspired, titled Return to Love. Look for it July 2009!

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 four years, and recently gave birth to an adorable baby girl - Audrey Elise. Yep, there's a new little fan of reading joining the St. Amant household! =)

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 for shoes or purses 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.

Hello my friend;

Please visit this web page and read their testimony, 26 days ago I left you a comment, that if you could help in anyway, we would greatly appreciate it. We are down to the wire and have 2 weeks now until they have no more home, if you can find it in your heart to donate anything, it would be a BIG help to Angie and her 4 children.

Daily Bread site I created for this Outreach for this family, in this season of need.

Hi I just saw your profile and noticed you were from La. I am always interested in what is coming out of La because I too was born and raised in La cajun country. Sounds like you have a very full life and have been quite blessed to bless others with your gift. May God continue to bless you.

Mass confusion, mob uproar - in Decision Valley! I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live. Joel 3:14 Deuteronomy 30:19 The Message
I pray that every decision you make is a God-directed decision of Life, leading to His blessings for you.
Blessings,
Susan

He saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 The Message
I pray that you see yourself cleansed - not by your own efforts, but by the grace of your Loving Abba Daddy.
Blessings,
Susan

“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.” 1 John 4:20-21
