Rawlins on Writing

I wanted to write something that would have elements of faith and patriotism. These elements became interwoven with strong spiritual beliefs, already inside me, enabling me to craft a novel that would resonate with many readers.

It is through A Return to Meadow Wood that I hope to reach some of our Country’s veterans who suffer with PTSD with a message of hope. What makes this novel different from others on the subject is my perspective on the importance of God’s healing as a factor in curing this illness.

My belief in a God who is involved in our lives and who hears and answers our prayers, adds an extra dimension to the plot not usually found in this type of story. It then becomes more meaningful as the characters within it reach new levels of profound understanding. In the process, they find something holy and sacred, providing a measure of healing in their lives.

As an inspirational writer, crafting a story like A Return to Meadow Wood, taps into my hopes and feelings about a better future for all of us. In the end, if I have written a book that touches reader’s hearts in a positive way, this is the reason I write. In a much deeper sense, this novel becomes a novel for the soul. For you dear reader, it is straight from my heart, mind and soul.

Please accept my humble thanks for reading my book. May God bless you all with fruitful and abundant lives.
