edit data

J M Archer lives in an enchanted forest filled with prehistoric trees, strange creatures, and the occasional stray cow—aka South Carolina. She writes high fantasy interwoven with the truth of God’s love and forgiveness, and the comfort found in the one true Lord, Jesus Christ. When not writing, she’s likely covered in paint, discussing random medieval facts, or arguing with a fat cat.

What’s Your Why?

Have you ever heard the phrase “My why”? It’s a way of saying why you do what you do. Personally, I think we should all have a “why” as a foundation for whatever we do. Really, the why is always there, whether we name it or not. But setting it out clearly before us is important.

Quotes by J.M. Archer (?)

“Many things are confusing for you now, but that is one reason why I was sent to you. Many things will change, including you. But don't despair because of what you do not know. You are not alone, and you are not forgotten. Answers will come in time.”
― J M Archer, Prophecy Awakens
