Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…

Featuring J.A. Rose

J.A. Rose is an introverted daydreamer with a passion for sharing the hopeful and inspiring stories that have shaped her imagination. She lives on a farm in Idaho and her best friends are her cats and miniature goats. A lifelong vow to maintain her sense of wonder and creativity drives her writing, as she aims to inspire that same sense of magic in her readers with engaging and imaginative stories that are undeniably hopeful even in the face of darkness.

About Her Short Story

A YA Fantasy Short Story about Reagan, a highschool girl in a world where words are magic, who is trying to help her older brother win a writing competition so that her sister can get what she’s always wanted, dance lessons. But after failing her writing class, Reagan believes that her contribution isn’t worth it. Her life takes a turn after she strays too deep into the library and becomes lost. The only way she can escape is by proving to the library and to herself that she has what it takes before she is fully consumed by the magic.
