Building Cindy’s website was a true honor. As someone who loves sunflowers, I was delighted to see her site adorned with their cheerful presence. Sunflowers radiate simple joy. Their golden faces trace the sun’s arc across the sky, standing tall and bright from sunrise to sunset. They remind us to always seek the light, no matter where we are planted. Cindy does too. She has experienced her share of challenges but finds hope in her faith and is passionate about encouraging others. Cindy’s journey is marked by transformation, resilience, and a desire to help people see the beauty in their own stories. You can find Cindy’s website at cindycollier.org. ...

Shelly’s website is one of my favorites! The creation process began with a deep dive into Shelly’s vision. Understanding not just the look she wanted, but the feelings she hoped visitors would experience. Every color, image, and word was chosen to reflect her warmth, creativity, and sense of adventure. We collaborated on everything from the layout to the smallest details, ensuring her personality and the spirit of her stories would shine through every page. Seeing it all come together, knowing it genuinely represented her, made the process both exciting and deeply rewarding.

Shelly believes that inside each of us is a natural-born storyteller waiting to be released. Her own journey is as captivating as the stories she tells. After leaving behind city life (and high heels) for the rugged beauty of Alaska, she brings a unique perspective to the Southern Fiction she writes. Her stories are brimming with hope, humor, and unforgettable small-town characters. If you enjoy heartwarming tales set in places where everyone knows your name, you’re in for a treat.
