Meet the Voices presents Nick Daniels! Nick was born in the late 1970s, in a bustling city in South America. He wrote his first short story in third grade about a explorer lost in the Amazon jungle, then discovered Jules Verne during sixth grade and was hooked into fiction for life. He spent the next few years reading literature classics (mostly Dostoievsky) and contemporary Latin American writers such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar, and Mario Vargas Llosa, plus every book in the library that picked his interest. At age fifteen, he decided to write a novel about a woman who loses the ability to love. It remains (thankfully) unpublished. After graduating from journalism school, Nick moved to the United States to continue his education and write […]

Meet the Voices: Jean Shattuck
My Book Therapy presents Jean Shattuck as this week’s featured Voice. Jean started writing when she was thirteen.

This week, Meet the Voices features Lynn Squire. Lynn grew up on a farm in Southern Alberta where she spent her days playing a pioneer or a character from a book (and every so often succumbing to her parents’ work ethic). Her imagination would take her to faraway places and on grand adventures. But her greatest adventure began when the Lord Jesus Christ rescued her from a passage to destruction and became her captain for a voyage to a better shore. While she admits to occasionally straying from His intended course, her faith in Him infuses her writing. Lynn now resides in California with her husband and three children, and she corrals her vivid imagination into short stories, novels, and creative nonfiction. This led to the creation of her book […]
