Besides being an Indie Author, I’m a wife, mother of four, ladies’ Sunday School teacher, sweet tea drinker, history fanatic, romantic, bubbly, lover of broccoli, and a retired cake decorator who has a soft spot for Christmas trees, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
After years of watching Murder She Wrote, I’ve partnered with my best friend to write Christian cozy mysteries under the pen name Chelsea Michelle. What I’m not is a laundress (or at least not one who keeps up very well), tall, or patient in a doctor’s office.

There is nothing like the natural feeling of story ideas as they're being birthed in my mind or the feeling of the keyboard as my fingers dance over the keys. I do many things for my Lord and now writing is one of them. (less)

I think every author envisions their work in publication. I've heard a LOT of authors admit to having finished drafts early in their career that never made it to publication, and I can certainly relate to that. Before I wrote my first published novel, I had written 1.5 novels in a 3 book series which currently sits unfinished. While most authors say they'll never go back to those unpublished novels, I'll never say never. Who knows! I just may go dig it back it up one day. :) (less)

"I am not a fan of fairytale retellings, so when I saw that this one was a retelling of Goldilocks and the 3 bears, I was first of all baffled at how you could do that with people as a romance and then a bit leery that it would be lame or cheesy. It w" Read more of this review »

Quotes by A.M. Heath  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Please, dear brother, do much more with that Bible of yours besides carry it for luck. It will bring you no such luck. But if opened, it will bring you life.”
A.M. Heath, Where Can I Flee

“Frank closed his troubled blue eyes and tipped his head back, but quickly regretted it. The moment he blocked out the light of the campfire, he was back on the smoke cover land. The ground beneath him seemed to be reaching up, eager to soak the life blood of the men around him. In every direction, the cries of the wounded screamed out. The constant sound of the drums echoed across the hills and through the valleys as the thundering cannons answered their call. With a gloved hand, he rubbed his eye lids as if the action might disperse the memories. It didn't.”
A.M. Heath, Where Can I Flee

“It would be altogether simpler if the rugged man before her wore gray, but instead he would be handsomely attired in Union blue.”
A.M. Heath, Where Can I Flee

Patti J. Smith

“It takes less courage to end your life in a burst of glory than to face the mistakes you’ve made and start over.”
