Monica Lynne Foster always knew she would be an author, starting with her first book when she was about seven. Her book, "Charlie and the Dunce", was four whole pages! She can recall reading it to her family and receiving praise for a job well done. In hindsight, only God knows if her story was any good, but the encouragement she received from her family gave her the inspiration she needed to believe that she was a great writer. Over the years, she began writing several books but was intimidated by the publishing process, so she only wrote for herself. In her early thirties, she made the decision to write her first fiction novel. Because of her full time job as a Human Resources executive at a Fortune 100 company, she put her writing on the back burner and wrote a few chapters every couple of years. And then life happened... At the age of forty, God began preparing her for a redirection of her life. In June she became engaged for the first time. In September, the Lord put her in a deep sleep while visiting her bestie in Italy. When she awoke, He told her to stay in Philippians Chapter four until He released her. Philippians spoke of the Lord providing a peace that would pass all understanding if she kept her mind stayed and focused on Him. She read that passage of Scripture almost daily. On Sunday, November 4, 2012, she recalls watching Joel Osteen on OWN speak about dreams, and she realized she had placed all of her dreams on hold to solely focus on her Corporate job. But God changed all that, because the following day, He released her from that corporate job of fourteen years to explore and pursue her dreams. She married her love the following May in Turks and Caicos, and together they are building a thriving gas contracting and fireplace installation business, American Gas Works. But that business is her husband's dream. Through his encouragement, she returned to her joy of writing and began writing the Chanelle Series Novels, Bad Choices Can Be Deadly and Hands Off My Man. She also enjoys writing She also enjoys writing inspirational non-fiction and has Today Is Your Last Day...Say Wha?! (The First 24 Months After You Lose Your Job). She coaches and develops aspiring authors under her company, ML Foster Empowerment Group, where she believes that everyone should make their dreams their lives. See less
