Hi, I'm Rosalyn Rooney! I am a small business owner who loves the Lord Jesus. I'm the author of almost 30 books and love sharing my works with others. Apart from writing, I love crocheting, reading, playing the piano, going for walks, and spending time with friends. I hope I can inspire other writers to share their books for the Glory of God.

Also, I have an etsy shop where I sell crochet patterns and homemade items! https://www.etsy.com/shop/RosysCraftC...

“For the first time in fifteen years, he felt a mother's love again.”
R. A. Rooney

R.A. Rooney, The Art of Thankfulness

“If God wants us to be family again, which I think he does, he will bring us all together again, even if it takes a long time!”

“If God wants us to be family again, which I think he does, he will bring us all together again, even if it takes a long time!”
R.A. Rooney, The Man on the Run

“I was so thankful He gave me this chance to enter a painting, for painting was my weakness. If I could do only two things in this world, I would choose to paint. And breathe, but painting came first.”
R.A. Rooney, The Art of Thankfulness

“I kicked a fallen pear from the sidewalk and went to find the rake. Leaves covered the lawn and a brisk breeze sent more flying here and there—the orange and brown covering the green.”
R.A. Rooney, Grasping the Gratefulness

“Hints of gingerbread scents were in the air as Chloe opened the Christmas Shop door. Shelly was no less baking in the back and Chloe was determined to help decorate the cookies. Or houses. Whichever.”
R.A. Rooney, Songs In Our Memories

“Deanna took a deep breath, dried her hands, and opened the oven door. Wonderful brownie aroma filled the air. She glanced at the clock and pulled the pan out, setting it on a cooling rack. “I did it,” she barely whispered. She tenderly cut a piece of crust from the edge and popped it into her mouth, savoring the glorious taste. “I did it!”
R.A. Rooney, Miss Novelist
