I was blessed this month to feature two new-to-me authors—Shannon Kent and Cheri Swalwell. The process of finding interviewees, then interviewing them, then scheduling their episodes can be a bit tricky when it comes to timing. A couple of weeks ago, I did an interview with an author whose episode will not publish until March, but we were talking a little about the busyness of Christmas. I had to remember to stop and put the timing into perspective so those of you listening won’t be thrown off. Of course, Christmas decorations are appearing earlier and earlier every year, so March might not be too far off (Kidding—I hope!)
Shannon Kent is the pen name of Shannon Sue Dunlap. Her penchant for happy endings began early, and she was thrilled to find more of these in the fun and flirty world of Korean Dramas. Her trip to their beautiful homeland offered many colorful experiences that she included in her two stories for the My Korean Crush Series, Flower Boy Tour Guide and Reality Show Romance. She likes to share her opinions with fellow fans under the pen name Dramarookie at the Dramas with a Side of Kimchi blog. Shannon has also released her first inspirational romantic suspense novel Decoy Valentine which we discussed in the episode on December 1st.
As a preacher’s kid and world traveler, Shannon has an interesting journey into the world of writing—and Korean drama. Connect with her via her website at www.shannonsuedunlap.com and/or follow her Amazon Author Page where you can access all her titles. You can listen to the full episode here.
Cheri Swalwell is a Christ follower, wife, mother, author, speaker, and podcaster. She is the author of the Redemption of Green Pines Series, Meeting Up with Love Series, as well as non-fiction books.
She offers something unique, other than her books. Taken directly from her website, “Jesus in the Every Day is a monthly membership where you can begin your day with a chance to focus on seeing Jesus in the everyday moments, day-to-day experiences. The more your focus is on God’s blessings around you, the more hope, joy, peace, and love will grow naturally within you. Soon, you will be so filled, every day, that you will naturally share that hope, joy, peace, and love with others.”
It is a reasonably paid program (which you can try free for 30 days) offering inspiration, devotions, and a podcast she does in partnership with a friend. You might want to delve into her Jesus in the Every Day to keep you connected to the Lord. Who doesn’t need more of that? Plus, a portion of your membership will support local and global missions.
All this, and more, is available via her website where you can connect with her and/or follow her Amazon Author Page
