"Alone But Not Lonely" Author: Shai Johnson
by Katherine HayesAlthough I am physically alone without my peers, I am never alone because God is always there. Now I am not saying I dislike people or do not want to hang out with friends. I am just cautious and I trust God to bring the right Godly friends into my life. Just because someone sees me alone does not mean I am lonely. I always have God there. He is my best friend. -
Author Spotlight on: Emmy Award Winning Nikesha Elise Williams
by Katherine Hayeshave written five novels and one collection of poetry. I’m not sure I have favorites. I always direct people to my debut, Four Women, because of how hard I worked to get it out it really means a lot to me and paved the way for the other books. My fourth novel, Adulting, was one of the most fun books that I’ve written. And my latest novel, Beyond Bourbon Street, because the story and topic is one I hold very close to my heart with it being set in New Orleans in my grandmother’s house.
Nikesha Elise Williams is a two-time Emmy award winning news producer and author.

God’s Plan - Author Arianna Dunn
by Katherine HayesI have always had this fixation on "better." I often feel life could somehow be better if I did this or if I did that. Maybe, I have watched too many movies or have become too accustomed to the depiction of life through the lens of social media. But I certainly feel at times that I am not quite where I need to be. I have found myself disappointed at the younger me for paths I did not take, or moves I did not make. -
Am I Enough?- By Sharon Johnson
by Katherine HayesI expect more of myself than anyone. I am also my own worst critic. I can make others happy with my work, but I still question how much more I could have done to be better. I have many days where I question if I am good enough to handle this field I’ve chosen. In most aspects of my life I question whether or not I am enough. -
Accidental Author—An Interview with Children's Author Tracey Burton
by Katherine HayesAnything I write is for children. I am inspired by real life. My Covid book was written from my angst about students returning to school and them being afraid of what was going on in the world. I wanted to find a way to inform them in a child friendly way. The next idea that screams at me during the silent hours of the night is a children’s book explaining the murder of George Floyd. It’s a work in progress.

Author Spotlight on Jenifer Jennings
by Katherine HayesTo date, I’ve published a total of eleven books. I have a Spiritual Collection series that has four books: a devotional, a collection of short stories, a collection of Biblical short stories, and a collection of poems. Then I have my Faith Finders series which is a six-book series featuring different women from the Bible including; Puah (from Exodus), Miriam (from Exodus), Rahab (from Joshua), Bathsheba (from 2 Samuel), Mary of Bethany (from the Gospels), and Lea (who is a fictional wife of Timothy from Paul’s letters). Recently, I’m working on a new three-book series called The Rebekah Series which features the life of Rebekah from Genesis. Each one becomes my favorite as I write it, but if I had to pick just one as my top favorite it would be “At His Feet.” Studying the Gospels and ministry of Jesus was so wonderful and sharing that through the eyes of Mary of Bethany has been such a gift. -
What is your WORTH? Authored By: Crystal Johnson
by Katherine HayesAs women, we lead hectic lives. We work, whether it is in the house or outside the home. We carry many roles: mother, sister, friend, teacher, counselor, doctor, plumber, maintenance worker and so on…and we still feel that we have no WORTH to us. -
"Silver Lining of a Pandemic" By: Vonyee K. Carrington
by Katherine HayesDoes the COVID-19 pandemic have silver lining? I would venture to say “Yes!” The next question is “How?” During this pandemic with each U.S. state having some sort of stay at home order and phased re-opening, we are forced to our families, ourselves, and our demons.

"What's Love Got To Do With It?"
by Katherine HayesMy father described love by explaining that God first showed us, love. He said that God had a special place in His heart for the church and viewed those in it as His bride. When we get to heaven we would meet up with God (our groom) for the great wedding feast. My father explained that earthly marriage was given to people as a way for us to enjoy the love benefits of what was to come in heaven.

Called to Give it to the Youth- By Sharon Johnson
by Katherine HayesAs we go through this period of a “new normal,” I’ve noticed how tough it is on my students. We are no longer in the classroom each day. Some children don’t have the most conducive environments to learn in. A few are dealing with the real impacts of this virus. They now realize this isn’t about staying home and playing on the computer, it’s about getting an education in a different way.
