Presented by Winnie Griggs
Winnie Griggs, a Plain Dealing resident, has written historical and contemporary romances for three different lines. Her work has won a number of regional and national awards, most recently the 2011 Lorie for Best Inspirational Romance of 2010. A small town girl herself, Winnie’s books focus on family, community, and faith. The motto on her website reads Small Towns, Big Hearts, Amazing Grace. By using examples from her own works, Winnie will reveal when and how to thread backstory into the storyline, doing so in an effective, non-intrusive manner.
Married to her college sweetheart, Winnie leads a busy life. Her favorite activities, in addition to writing, include raising a bevy of animals-ranging from dogs, cats, and hamsters, to 4-H sheep. To find out more about Winnie, visit her website at www.winniegriggs.com or on facebook!
