BIO

“Tell me a story,” has been my question since birth.

Since I love them so much, what better way to share the fun and interesting things I've learned than in writing stories myself?

I'm a “retired” Navy wife who has lived all over the United States, including Hawai’i.

Raised in San Pedro, California, a melting pot of many languages and cultures, I've traveled the world meeting people and laughing my way through ridiculous circumstances.

I love history, music, books, reading, my terrific family, amusing friends, travel opportunities, and irony.

A New York Times and ECPA bestselling author of five novellas and a Navy SEAL novel, I'm the biographer of Mrs. Oswald Chambers and Lettie Cowman, as well as an essayist in Utm

I keep writing; even if it isn't very good, I keep typing in the words. You put in enough hours, something will turn up.

Or, I give it up and take a walk, read a book, spend time with my family. Sometimes you need to clear you head and let "the boys in the basement," do their magic. http://michelleule.com/2012/02/17/fin...(less)

A Prayer for Your Descendants

Have you considered writing a prayer for your descendants?

My great-great-great-great-great-grandmother did. (That’s five generations back).

Someone wrote it down, and I found it while researching my family tree.

(Honestly, the obscure old books I’ve scoured over the years!)

She wrote it first for her children, then her grandchildren, and then “for all who come after.”

That would be me.

I cried when I r

Now this was an unusual book . . .

And the fact that it's based on a woman who really did travel to New France in the 16th century, get exiled onto an island with her nurse and lover, watch them die — along with her baby —and live to return to France

If you like a deeply descriptive and emotional novel (I'm not a fan), you will probably love this story of William Shakespeare's family life--and death.

Beautifully evocative and a deeply emotional tale, O'Farrell's novel is lovely.

Quinn is an excellent writer, but this book just rambled on and on and on. The ending was fine--and surprising--but each woman's story could have been shortened and simplified.

Each chapter was a different woman--which became a bit confusing as I got

Interesting novel which helps put the events found in Chronicles and Isaiah into an understandable format.

I couldn't put this novel down, so well written, and such an intense story--that happened to be true.

I'm tired of reading WWII novels, but this one captured my interest, and I couldn't put it down until the final, heartbreaking end.

Powerful.

Topics Mentioning This Author

Tony Horwitz
“There are people one knows and people one doesn't. One shouldn't cheapen the former by feigning intimacy with the latter.”
Tony Horwitz, Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War

Oswald Chambers
“God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God. ”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing...Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation.”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Updated Edition
