Plunged is a huge part of my mission! I'm Shilo Creed, author of 42 novels under 4 pen names. I have won 7 literary awards, and sold over a million books. But it wasn't all roses and sunshine along the way. Once I knew God called me to write, I did for 10 years without selling a copy. That was really hard, because I was getting up at 5:30 am to write before the kids got up (I'm a homeschool mom, and we were in an RV full time traveling). I was pouring myself into what God called me to do and not seeing any fruit. But He is faithful, so I had to be that too. I wrote for years, just for Him, with my wonderful husband encouraging me every step of the way. Obedience is the testing ground, then the fruit comes!

That is my story, one that I hope encourages you to keep going, work hard at your calling, and seek God's Kingdom first.

I have a podcast for fiction authors called The Author's Mind where I interview successful authors about the craft of fiction writing. It's a great opportunity to learn from people, sort of like grabbing a cup of coffee with an author and picking their mind.

You can also connect with me on YouTube at Shilo Creed: How To Christian which is like tech support for your spirit!

I am so glad you are here, and I can't wait to discover what you are working on!
