Author Bio:

Carolyn R Scheidies is a wife, proud mother of two, and grandmother of three wonderful grandchildren she loves to spoil. Though her writing career is important, it is not more important than her family or her faith. She is a member of the Hope EFC missions church in Kearney where she serves as a deaconess, secretary of the church board and as a Sunday School teacher.

A graduate from the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) with a degree in journalism, Carolyn's published credits include over two-dozen books, several of which have garnered awards. Her children's picture book was an EPPIE Finalist in 2006. Which was a nice surprise! She's written for a variety of publications, has a regular newspaper column, worked as an editor, speaker/teacher and book reviewer and, early 2013, signed a three-book contract with Harlequin Heartsong Presents. One of her Kearney Hub columns also won her an Amy Writing Award earlier this year.  

Scheidies speaks to different groups, leads workshops, lectured at UNK for several years and has taught adult enrichment writing classes at Central Community College. She has been interviewed on NTV, KHAS and AFR radio as well as in numerous print and online publications and had a monthly book review segment on NTV when she was a regular book reviewer.. http://IDealinHope.com.

Whatever she does, Carolyn’s goal is to share hope, and that hope is found in Jesus Christ.
