Award-winning author, Lena Nelson
Dooley, has more than 675,000 books in print. She is a member of American
Christian Fiction Writers http://www.acfw.com/ and president
of the local chapter, DFW Ready Writers. She’s also a member of Christian
Authors Network, CROWN Fiction Marketing, and Gateway Church in Southlake , Texas .
Lena loves James, her
children, grandchildren, and great grandson. She loves chocolate, cherries,
chocolate-covered cherries, and spending time with friends. Travel is always on
her horizon. Cruising, Galveston , the Ozark
Mountains of Arkansas , Mexico . One day
it will be Hawaii and Australia , but
probably not the same year. Helping other authors become published really floats
her boat, with fifteen signing their first book contract after her mentoring.
Three of her books have been awarded the Carol Award silver pins from American
Christian Fiction Writers and she has received the ACFW Mentor of the Year award
at their national conference. The high
point of her day is receiving feedback from her readers,
especially people whose lives have been changed by her books. And she loves
chocolate, especially dark chocolate.
Her latest release is Love Finds
You in Golden, New Mexico, from Summerside Press which recently won the Will
Rogers Medallion Award for excellence in publishing westernfiction. Lena is currently under two 3-book contracts with Charisma
House/Realms.
In addition to her writing,
Lena is a frequent speaker at women’s groups,
writers groups, and at both regional and national conferences. She has spoken in
six states and internationally.
