5 Questions..with Shawn Jones

Mrs. Shawn Regina Jones will be one of three people recieving a Little Wellness Arts Award, Sunday November 11th at 4pm at our first Arts and Music Festival at The Shore Mall!

Mrs. Jones is a successful wife and mother.

I can say she has been a beautiful friend for many years.

Mrs. Jones is also an accomplished dancer and now a accomplished dance instructor.

So when we started to encourage each other to complete our books I had no doubt that she would become a successful writer.

Three years later, hundreds of people have been touched by the words in her books Womb Rain and Pictures in Glass Frames.

I was able to get Shawn R. Jones to answer these 5 questions as she prepares to be one of our first Little Wellness Arts Center Award Winners at our Arts and Music Festival on Sunday November 11th.

Q- What Do You Want People To get from PICTURES IN GLASS FRAMES?

SRJ-I reveal the intimate details of my tragic family history and restored adult life, so my readers will trust God with the difficult circumstances they face in their own lives. I want my readers to know that even though their faith is sometimes challenged, it can also be restored.

Q) What do you think the next book will be about?

 SRJ-My next book, Watering Flowers in the Rain, is also a collection of devotions. So far the recurring message seems to be that God's provision is enough. I am also working on a poetry book, titled Gray Areas.

Q)What would you be doing if not writing? 
 
SRJ- I would still be tutoring several students a week and teaching more dance classes.

 Q) What writers influence you now?

SRJ- Bestselling author, Lysa TerKeurst. I recently read her book titled, What Happens when Women Walk in Faith. I am also a big fan of C.S. Lewis, author of Screwtape Letters. I would say those are the Christian authors I have been influenced by recently. I am also greatly inspired by Toni Morrison.

 Q)What is the best thing about being a writer?

5. The phone calls, e-mails, and warm hugs I receive from people who have been touched by my book are the absolutely best rewards I have received from my writing. Those moments are invaluable. It is in those times that I am reminded that God is working.
