The Purposeful Pen with Amy Simon
“Have you ever considered writing children’s chapter books? Or maybe you wonder if there’s a place in your life and writing for childlike faith. Listen in on this fun conversation with children’s book author Melody Trowell.”
“If you can’t resist a story that begins with “Once upon a time,” then you’ll love Melody Trowell. Her debut novel channels all the charm and whimsey that make fairy tales fun without sacrificing the grounding moral force that makes them endure.
And, now, Melody will pull back the curtain and share a little bit about herself with us, including her interests, hobbies, writing process, and even a few photos…”
Library Bindings with Michelle Watson
“Cheryl Moore talks with new author Melody Trowell about her first book 'The Girl Whose Frown Shook the Ground'. Melody shares her experiences where faith, teaching, and writing intersect. A significant focus is how she approaches her students at a Christian college, seeing them as image bearers of God and treating them with love and patience.
She discusses how the Lord opened doors for her book and favorite illustrator Amy Grimes. It is a great story of how she has intentionally aligned herself with God's plan.”
