Family by Design

Rena sighed as she shut the door behind her and locked it. She glanced out the window as her date walked back to his car. It had been a lovely evening—good food, nice conversation. The trip to the museum was pleasant, the drive was pleasant, and the goodnight kiss was, well, pleasant.

Blank Slate

Laura looked up when the woman seated next to Adrianna turned the light off over their seats. Her gaze was drawn out the window when something large and dark flipped in front of a pair of headlights, and she felt her fingers grasp tightly to the wallet in her hand as the bus driver called out for everyone to brace themselves. She clenched her eyes as a large white vehicle that had been heading north-bound on the other side of the freeway slammed into the charter bus.Read More

The Ball's In Her Court

Denise was surprised when she heard a knock on her window and looked up to see an officer peering through the opening. "Are you OK Ma'am?" She had been too wrapped up in memories to realize the police car in front of her had moved.

“Yes, fine. No problem.” Just falling apart here. The young officer looked as though he wasn’t sure he believed her. “You don’t look well. Are you sure you don’t need some help?”

Introducing Heather Justesen

Hi, I’m Heather Justesen, writer of LDS women’s fiction.

Ask anyone who knew me growing up, I would as soon have my nose in a book as go to the neighbor’s to play. I suppose it was only a matter of time until I started making up stories of my own.

Though I dabbled some in high school, I didn't write again until after I graduated from Southern Utah University with a BA in English literature in 1998. People always ask me if I studied English because I planned to be a writer, but honestly writing was the furthest thing from my mind until after I graduated (or I would have studied actually writing during that time, instead of books written by people who've been dead for hundreds of years!).

After nearly ten years of writing, I finally saw my first book in print, The Ball's in Her Court, quickly followed by Rebound and now Blank Slate. In January of 2012 my publisher will be releasing my fourth book, which is tentatively named Family by Design.

When I'm not writing, I'm running as a volunteer EMT-I with my local ambulance service, playing in the kitchen, in the yard gardening, or with my menagerie of chickens, geese, ducks, guineas and the lone tom turkey.

@NCP1983 thanks! I'm going to do a story about Grayson still. I was hoping for this spring, but it's looking like later in the year instead.
