Since
people often ask how this dyslectic artist became an author, here's Paula Rose
Michelson's story in her own words:
"I was such a good storyteller that when
speaking of something that really happened, I was often asked if it was a
story!
While
in my 30’s I began writing a memoir called Journey Home. My husband’s course of
study in college prepared him to teach English and creative writing at the
college level. Imagine my surprise when he insisted I find a publisher for this
work. Though a huge complement, I set that idea aside because we were busy
raising our girls.
I
started writing when I became as Messianic Jew, I found myself invited to
speak at Woman’s Ministries events and retreats. For each event, I wrote a
piece that fit with my presentation. I'd read the piece, and then gifted it to
be given away or raffled.
A
few years later, I was surprised when a women asked me for a print out of the
piece I'd written for the event where we meet. It seemed to me that she
attended each event I was speaking at - leaving with a duplicate copy of what
I'd written.
When
my husband and I decided to worship at a Messianic Congregation, she greeted me
with open arms. Later, I discovered she owned a small Messianic publishing
company, and wanted to publish my work. We meet and discussed ideas. Amazed and
blessed, I did some research and began writing character sketches for the three
women the reader would meet in the book we decided upon. However, when Naomi
(the least important of the three) started telling me her story, writing the
six volume faith saga called The Naomi Chronicles became my passion!
Nine
years later, I’ve self-published three of the six Naomi Chronicles. The first book of that saga, No Other Choice is now an Amazon Bestseller in Inspirational Romance (Women's & Family) Fiction! You can find all my fictions, and nonfiction Kindle eBook downloads on
Amazon." http://amzn.to/1z8ydzA
I'm loving this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your affirming word, James! I look foward to getting to know you.
DeleteWhat a wonderful story Paula. You were meant to be a writer if God had opened so many doors for you!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
DeleteI agree! When speaking to those who are called by God to write, I love to share this story because I've discovered over and over again that God doesn't call the equipped, He equips those He's calls so we can glorify Him!
Thank you so much for sharing and being obedient to write and share with others the gift God gave to you. God is so awesome in obedient people.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading this post. I'm glad God connected us at the heart and look forward to seeing how He will draw us closer to each other as we serve Him!
