Mandy Haynes is the author of “In the A Simple Story of Creation”. This book is written for the young, a way to introduce children to the wonderful world of God, Jesus, and the Bible. A way for them to see a flower and know that God created not only this flower, but all the flowers To see a dog or cat, and know that God created them plus more. This book is made to be personalized to your child. In the back there are blank pages to put your child’s photo, to show them that God not only loves this world, but He loves each and every child. I first wrote this book for my grandchildren, and then for a friend’s grandchildren. It is a great way to help with your own teaching of God word to your child
Biography Mandy Haynes has spent hours on barstools, at backstage venues, and riding in vans listening to tales from some of the best songwriters and storytellers in Nashville, Tennessee. She now lives in Fernandina Beach, Florida with her three dogs, a turtle, and a grateful liver. Walking the Wrong Way Home was a finalist for the 2017 Tartt Fiction Award.
Mandy worked for twenty-six years for Vanderbilt University Medical Center before deciding to run away to Amelia Island. She started as a clerk, working in the mailroom and making thousand of copies of patients medical records - but worked her way up to finish the last sixteen years as a pediatric cardiac sonographer at Monroe Carroll Jr. Children's Hospital.
Some of her favorite memories include her time as a receptionist/administrative assistant in Addiction Psychiatry, break-room antics with her fellow refund clerks, and of course all of the families and children she met in cardiology.
Fans of Fannie Flagg, Sue Monk Kidd, Wiley Cash, Rick Bragg, Harper Lee, and Harry Crews might enjoy her writing style. These stories are for readers who like to chase their stories with a shot of whiskey while burrowed under a hand stitched quilt.
