Donita K. Paul retired early from teaching school, but soon got bored! The result: a determination to start a new career. Now she is an award-winning novelist writing Christian Romance and Fantasy.

"I feel blessed to be doing what I like best."

She mentors all ages, teaching teenagers and weekly adult writing workshops.

"God must have imprinted 'teacher' on me clear down to the bone. I taught in public school, then home schooled my children, and worked in private schools. Now my writing week isn't very productive unless I include some time with kids."

Her two grown children make her proud, and her two grandsons make her laugh.
