Writing by Faith

If you look at my profile on Twitter, @SJWellsAuthor, you will see that I describe myself as a Christian author who writes historical fiction. But how does a blind girl from the hollers of West Virginia do that?

First, that blind girl had to persevere against all those who said she could not. Second, that blind girl learned to trust in Jesus instead of others or her own strength. Then, the only thing left to do was to sit down and write.

Ok, so things were a bit more complicated than that. Still, if one wants to become the impossible, then one must believe that nothing is impossible.

My first book "Wild Heart" was published in 2009. It's a Western. I wrote about it on this blog several years ago. Here is what the book is about.

Gage Colton, ex-gunman turned Christian is searching for the man who killed his father.  After witnessing a gunfight in Tombstone, he feels God urging him to change his plans.  If he obeys the Holy Spirit, it may cost him dearly; possibly even his life.  Shewana Christy, a young Cheyenne woman, is bent on revenge, in the hope that it will finally bring peace, something she has not known in a long time.  She has already avenged her mothers death and is looking for her father's murderer, when she is kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to hit the trail in the middle of the night.  With a posse in hot pursuit behind them, unknown dangers lurking ahead, and constant friction between them, will Gage and Shewana find what they were looking for, or will they answer that still, small voice of God, leading them in another direction?


It's available in print, ebook and on Audible as an audiobook. Just go to
