edit data

Michelle Connell asked for a typewriter when she was two. She didn't get one. But she learned to read when she was four and started writing stories shortly after.

She loves to read and write and has been working on her own novels since her writing group asked her to try NaNoWriMo. She thought they were crazy at the time, but now thanks them as she has several novels of her own in the works. She co-wrote a book of prompts with her writing group, called Prompted to Write.

Now her debut contemporary romance is out, Cookie Encounter: a Chance Encounter Inspirational Romance. Her military inspirational romance, Heir Force, came out in 2017. Her next chance encounter story comes out in March 2020. ...more

In the Writer’s House #48: How the Corona Virus is Impacting Me

Hello Readers, How are you all doing, hunkered down in your abodes? For the most part, I have no complaints. But I am also not writing. I am mostly reading library books I checked out before they closed. I am now one book ahead on my 2020 Goodreads challenge. And watching James Bond movies. And […]

Michelle’s Quotes

“Going to Sunday School and church isn’t going to get you into eternal life with the Lord. And not going won’t keep you out. An eternal life with the Lord isn’t something you can earn. It’s our acceptance of Jesus as Savior.”

Willing To Review Christian Group — 684 members — last activity Aug 28, 2025 12:51PM
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
