While attending the Lexicon Writers' Conference this summer, I was drawn to a man who looked a lot like my grandpa. He passed away from cancer about five years ago and he was my number one supporter in everything that I did. The minute I saw Dave Kilby, I knew that I was supposed to be there. I had this feeling that both God and my grandpa were looking down on me and supporting my decision to be a writer. I went up to Dave and told him how I felt drawn to talk to him and come to find out...he lived in Kingwood!! He was there supporting his wife Karen Kilby. Karen approached me later that day and she was the nicest lady ever. She even reminded me of my grandma (another huge supporter of mine). Anyways, Karen has written many articles for Chicken Soup for the Soul and decided to write her own book entitled Becoming a Woman of Purpose A Thirty-One Day Devotional. Just recently Karen held a book signing at the Kroger located at the end of my street, so I just had to go!! I picked up a signed copy for my friend Christiana and me and can't put it down! I look forward to reading each story every morning before heading off to work. I suggest you click on the title of the book and purchase one today!!
