This 'Collections of Reflections' comes from years of observing and listening to voices that often go unheard and lives that go unnoticed. Chris Pepple combines her ministry with her writing talents to capture moments in life that are touching and honest. The 'slice of life' short stories give the reader a glimpse into lives of ordinary women who walk through life with an extraordinary determination. The women in each story will seem familiar to each reader. Each woman in these stories walks through life with a unique yet universal story of faith, courage and love. Chris Pepple gives glimpses into women's lives whose voices should be heard and stories should be told.
I am a poet, a published author, and a writing consultant living in Germantown, Tenn. I am also a writer-at-large for Southern Writers Magazine.

I speak to writing groups on topics such as self-publishing, how to find your own creative voice and how to break writer's block. Along with speaking to writing groups, I also speak nationally to churches and nonprofit organizations on a variety of motivational and spiritual topics. Current speaking series: Writing Your Faith: A Guide to Leaving a Written Faith Legacy and Defining Suffering: Carrying our Cross and Letting Go of Pain. I also speak to young adults and senior high youth on being aware of domestic violence issues and dating violence issues which still affect so many families in our nation.
