Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…

The fourth edition of Voices of the Future weaves together short stories of adventure and imagination in a memorable and heartwarming collection. Experience the next generation’s creativity and vision through these brief tales from rising young creatives.

Featuring Savanna Ammons

Savanna Ammons writes sweet Christian romances that deal sensitively and biblically with difficult topics. Her short story was inspired by memories of visiting her great-grandparents in Seattle. When she’s not writing, you can find her working the front desk at her local library, snuggling her puppy, or pouring her next batch of epoxy resin for her small business. If you want to be her friend, prepare to endure dad jokes and puns as soon as she has the opportunity.

About Her Short Story

Cerise’s life runs on a schedule she’s perfected to a science. Work now. Rest later. It’s just how she functions—and a barista handing her a riddle during her lunch break was not in the plan. But when the riddle leads her to the glass-blowing shop she visited with her boyfriend months ago and kicks off a date-site treasure hunt, she’s torn. Does she follow the adventure laid at her feet? Or go home to her predictable, controlled rhythm?
