Hello everyone!

My name is Kristin Bradley and I am new to the forum. I am very passionate about well-written fiction, both in reading and writing it.

My passion started with Jane Eyre—I’ve never found a book to resonate so deeply or leave me speechless. A truly well-written piece of fiction! It left me inspired to see additional works of art come into the world. When I happened upon a quote from Rachel Starr Thomson, I felt encouraged I was on the right track:

“I finally came face to face with Jesus’ parable of the talents and realized that if I had a gift and desire to write, I had a responsibility to write. That prompted a significant shift in how I treated my writing and how I put it into the world.”

Around that time the Lord called me to pursue my writing full time. After I started my new journey, I realized I had no community to share my joy of well-written fiction with—until I happened upon Story Embers.

I look forward to meeting everyone!
