Author Faith Richardson
Author
Faith Richardson is a confirmed, non-recovering 'bookaholic'. Early
favorites were the Enid Blyten 'Adventure' Series, Trixie Beldon and Cherry
Ames, the Nesbit stories, and, later, Madeleine L'Engle's and L. M. Montgomery's
novels. Today, her bedside
reading has returned again and again to the works of authors who have influenced
her most profoundly: stories by C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and George
Macdonald.
As a young author, she was privileged to be mentored by Madeleine L'Engle (author of Newbery Award winner, A Wrinkle in Time) and to assist her in Writer's Workshops at Regent College, Vancouver School of Theology, and Oxford College.
Faith is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI) and the Canadian Society of Children's Authors, Illustrators and Performers (CANSCAIP).
Along with books, pets have always filled her life: horses and ponies, a certain donkey, dogs, cats, birds, fish, and guinea pigs, to name a few species . . .
Faith is also a Registered Nurse and Family Nurse Practitioner. Her books grow out of a tradition of healing arts: story and medicine.
"Stories reach to the deepest part of us; stories are how we order our lives and the world around us. It is no wonder that healing can occur through the telling of our story, our life." ~Faith Richardson~
