Hello, friend!

I’m so glad you are here.

In this marred and messy world, we need stories. Stories that break past the barriers we put up around and between ourselves and reach our hearts. Stories that help us understand where we came from in the past and where we are today. Stories that aren’t afraid to wrestle with the darkness but also point us toward the light.

If stories like that stir your heart too, I’d love to connect with you. I’m collaborating on a new series of hope-filled stories with Lauraine Snelling, and you can find our new release, Seeds of Change, here. Or you can sign up for the mini-magazine I send out a few times a year to receive extra stories of hope, reader goodies, and community connection. Sometimes I share snippets and stories here on my blog too.

I hope to connect with you soon! May the peace of the Lord always be with you.

Blessings,

Kiersti

New Series with Lauraine Snelling! And The Story of How That Happened…

Once upon a time, a shy homeschooled teen in rural northwest New Mexico eagerly anticipated the arrival of the rural bookmobile each month. She devoured most of the books in their several shelves of Christian fiction, but her favorite series became the Red River of the North historical novels by Lauraine Snelling. She fell […]

Trusting God’s Timing: A Novel’s Journey (Guest Post and Giveaway with Lori Benton!)

You may remember me mentioning Lori Benton and the depth and detail of her award-winning historical novels in the past–I’ve been blessed indeed by both her writing and her friendship. Lori’s novels always strike me deeply with both her sensitivity in handling intercultural history and relationships, and the redemptive power in her stories. Her upcoming […]

The Shaking: Of Arendelle, America, and Stepping toward Healing

My sister and I love Frozen. Okay, maybe we’ve all heard “Let it Go” enough times by now, but there’s something about this sweet story of the love between two sisters that connects with our hearts, and I almost always tear up at the climax when Elsa is hugging Anna-turned-to-ice. Plus, all the little […]

Our Gift: A Poem in Honor of My Son’s First Birthday

I don’t usually write poetry–in fact, I’ve told my students many times that they write far better poems than I can! But for some reason, in this season of quarantine, free verse poems have been bubbling up in my heart like never before. So this week, in honor of my sweet little boy’s first birthday […]

The Birth of a Baby Boy…and a Mommy

Nearly seven months ago, a little after two o’clock in the morning and after about twenty-five hours of labor, a soft, warm, pink, little bundle was laid naked on my tummy, with a lusty yell and damp golden-brown curls. And my life was forever changed. There’s a reason I’ve been rather absent from this […]

The Color of Life: A Journey toward Love and Racial Justice

This winter, I’ve had the privilege of being on the launch team of Cara Meredith’s debut memoir, The Color of Life. Cara and I belong to the same literary agency, and I’ve followed and admired her work since first hearing her as a guest on one of Barb Neal Roose’s podcasts (which are wonderful—check […]

Getting Ready for a Baby

Merry 4th Day of Christmas, friends! I’m glad we don’t have to stop celebrating Christmas quite yet, even if the 25th is now past. I love the old English tradition of the 12 days of Christmas, carrying us right up to Epiphany on the 6th of January. Sometimes I enjoy the days after Christmas even […]

Giveaway and Guest Blog with Kathleen Maher!

Today I’m delighted to host a new writer friend, Kathleen Maher! We have connected through being regular contributors on the Heroes, Heroines, and History blog, as well as a common interest in Native American history and racial reconciliation, which all weave into our stories. I hope you enjoy getting to know her as much as […]

Of Summer Rest and Writing News

Hello, friends! It’s summertime…a special time of year. Does it feel like it where you live? After a June mostly in the 80s—sometimes even 70s—summer came with a vengeance for us, with one day reaching around 117 in our area. We survived thanks to our three window unit air conditioners (which kept the […]
