Lakeshia Poole self-published her first book in 4th grade - handwriting, illustrating and binding a comedic horror story, then selling it to her classmates. Throughout school and a 15-year public relations career, her passion for storytelling and publishing remained strong. Inspired by her college years at The University of Georgia she created the college fiction series, The Village (Don't Let Me Fall, Exes and O's, You Only Live Once -- coming soon). She's also published Faith Beats Fear, a unique daily devotional of inspirational fiction stories, Scriptures, and journaling prompts. When she's not dreaming up new story ideas, Lakeshia spends time with family or relaxing on her porch reading and sipping coffee. ...more

Why Feeling Confused About Your Purpose May Mean You’re in a New Season
