Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…

This third edition of Voices of the Future weaves together short stories of healing and home in a memorable and heartwarming collection. Experience the next generation’s creativity and vision through tales from rising young creatives.

Featuring Juliet Artman

Juliet Artman strives to be everyone’s big sister and cheerleader. She writes contemporary fiction for young women, where characters seek the joy of the Lord despite everyday struggles. Juliet writes to encourage a weary heart to keep smiling.

When Juliet isn’t in her purple bedroom writing or practicing chords on the piano, she is pouring into young people. Juliet has built her own house cleaning business where she employs teens to clean with her, and in the evenings, she interns at a local worship ministry where she helps students grow in musical skills and love for the Lord.

About Her Short Story

Aunt Tina is moving across the country, and Vanessa must take over the cake decorating at her Dad’s bakery. Vanessa has soaked in all Aunt Tina has taught about cake decorating for six years, but is it enough to serve customers as well as her Aunt?

When Vanessa’s first order is for a complicated baby shower cake in the style Aunt Tina specialized in – the one Vanessa hasn’t mastered – failure stares Vanessa in the face. Will she ever be able to fill Aunt Tina’s shoes? Vanessa must learn Aunt Tina’s secret to success. And that secret may have nothing to do with spatula techniques or buttercream. It might actually have a lot more to do with going forward no matter what.
