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.

Happy New Year!
We all make New Year resolutions. But generally, within a few weeks they have all become casualties of our busy schedules, inconsistency or just plain 'ol lack of will power. So in light of this a most common pitfall, we thought we would ask our Shoutlife friends to ponder and answer the following question...
What is the smallest change with the greatest impact you can now make to bring you closer to a personal goal or just simply much needed change at home, at work or in life?

Hey, Betsy!
Here's hoping you enjoyed a warm and wonderful Christmas. Ours was everything the holiday should be, with lots of noise and laughter, good food and hugs.
Praying 2010 will deliver only good news, robust health, and happiness to you and yours, and that your every dream will come true... even those you haven't yet put into words!
Hugs,
Loree
