Belinda’s Writing

What do I write?

I write for children. Deep, rich truth with a sprinkle of fun wrapped up in story format. My shorter works use engaging, playful language meant to be read out loud.

Foreverly Tales

Work in Progress

Foreverly Tales bring Godly value to children’s hearts and souls by the power of Heavenly transformation WITHOUT MAGIC.

From ugly to beautiful, from selfish to sharing, from stone to flesh – God transforms us to be more like Him.

Each title in the series builds our unique identity and self-image in Christ, for example, “I am beautiful; I am loved; I am cared for; I am protected…”  Each book finishes with an illustrated affirmation for the reader, straight from the Bible.

Why do I write?

I write because I’m compelled to write. I’ve always been a writer – always will be. I wrote picture books throughout my schooling and attempted writing my first novel when I was in grade 7; I stashed it away in a blue pencil case and worked on it whenever I could, even in the back of my German class.

Over the years I have filled a filing cabinet with ideas and drafts I was too shy to know what to do with. Gradually God has kept reaffirming and directing me, giving me confidence to move forward. I now see writing as a ministry – narrative is the most beautiful and impacting vessel for learning great truths and I am passionate about spreading God’s gospel of love and truth to children.
