G'morning.

Meet By Grace's releasing author Deb Kinnard.

Deb Kinnard started writing at age ten, frustrated because there was no preteen girl with a horse on "Bonanza."  From there she progressed to short stories and truly dreadful poetry.

In college, she gained two degrees in health care and spent time observing hippies, basketball stars, el-ed majors and other strange species.

While raising two active girls and cherishing a husband, she enjoyed a career that encompasses Spanish translation, volunteer work at a crisis line, years in assorted ERs that don’t resemble the one on TV, and a day job at a big Chicago teaching hospital.

She’s an active member of American Christian Fiction Writers, volunteer editor for the nature e-zine "Feathers and Petals" and a loud singer at church. In 2002 and 2003, she sold her first two novels, POWERLINE and OAKWOOD, to Treble Heart Books. ANGEL WITH A RAY GUN was released by ByGrace Publishing in 2006 and the BRIDES AND BOUQUETS 2007 anthology ("Something Borrowed") was released in 2007.

When Deb’s not at the computer writing, she keeps busy with reading, sewing, playing the guitar, and skiing in the winter. With her husband, she enjoys the "Connections" outreach team at church. She reads a lot, lately mostly in medieval fiction and nonfiction. She loves to travel and meet new people, some of whom turn up later in her stories. So if you meet a short woman with a light in her eye…
