Reagan Chapman, an avid reader since a young child, has found an enthusiasm for writing because of her active imagination. Her favorite time to write is with her two dogs snuggled up close.

Meet the author! Cindy Kirkpatrick is one of four authors featured Saturday during our ArtWalk book signing. Let us introduce you:
Faith Stories is a book compiled of great inspirational stories from around the world, as well as closer to home. The author hopes readers are inspired to recognize great faith in others and examine their own faith after reading this book.
She has been unearthing faith stories for many years from around the world. “As Jesus was amazed at the Roman centurion’s great faith, so I have been amazed at all the treasures I’ve discovered,” she said.

Novalise must choose between manipulating the king’s affection and trusting the voice in her heart.
Megan Schaulis is a special education teacher by vocation, but she found a passion for writing after a year of traveling the country in a small camper with her family. Her background in journalism helps her encourage young readers and writers.
