Are you a natural-born storyteller? Do you enjoy creative writing? Or would you like to learn how to write a story? Or polish a story that you have been working on? If you answered yes to any or all these questions, then this summer class is for you. I will walk students through what makes a story stand out, how to create a compelling scene, what are industry standards for fiction stories, and other key details of writing a fiction story. We will interview a character or two and talk about emotions in writing. There will be creative writing assignments. Fun discussions. Group challenges. And in the process, we will talk about all the major aspects of creating a story that others will want to read.

A lifelong love affair with the Bible, combined with the gift of storytelling, led Cindi to explore the what-ifs of Bible stories. Using a unique point-of-view, she invites readers to step into the daily lives of well-known Bible characters.

Cindi has a Bachelor of Science from Palm Beach Atlantic University in Biblical counseling, which helps her understand the personhood of her characters. Her Master of Education from Jones International University honed her writing skills. And a Master of Biblical Studies from Luther Rice University fed her passion for bringing the Bible to life.

Cindi has published non-fiction, The Fight for Your Spiritual Life, which explores Spiritual Warfare, and a fiction novella, The Choice, which looks at the fall of Lucifer and the creation of Adam and Eve. The Longing, her first novel, is currently being reviewed by a publisher. The Challenge, another novel, retells the story of Job from the eyes of a door greeting Angel is in the editing stage.
