Growing in Christ 

Wednesdays with Darlene














Hi Darlene, I'm so glad you're a part of Sisters in Cahoots! I'm sure you're going to keep us all on our toes, and I'm positive you have some pretty fantastic things in store for our readers! Let's tell them a bit about you, shall we?




What genre do you write?

I write Contemporary Christian Fiction, particularly drama/women's fiction.  Some have labeled my writing romance, but, I tend to think of it more as a drama.



Why do you write this particular genre?

I want to write fiction that can change lives.  Until Forever deals with the difficult subject matter of alcoholism.  Forgiveness is key in the story line.



What is your contributing column and what would you like to see happen with it?

I write the column "Growing in Christ."  My life's calling is seeing people, especially women, grow into the women God has called us to be.  Everyday we should see positive changes in our lives.  Everyday we should be more than we were the day before.  If we are to accomplish all God has called us to do, we must learn to deny ourselves and become more like Him.



What is your next major project?  

I am currently working on the sequel to Until Forever, which is titled "Forever Blessed."  Forever Blessed deals with the real life issues of domestic violence.  I am thrilled and humbled that God has allowed and called me to do what I love to do, write and speak so that we may all grow into His likeness.  My husband and I have just begun to work on a joint writing venture.  I won't tell you what it is just yet, but I can promise it's going to be awesome!
