Featured Interview With Lisa C. Miller
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I tend to be an optimistic person. I believe writing is a language of the heart and is a beautiful way to share one’s innermost feelings. I tend to be chatty so people are attracted to me. I am a friendly soul. I am married to a wonderful man . We have three children. There are times I feel like I was born with a pencil in my hand since I am rather comfortable with words and stories. I wrote my first story at six years old and shared it at dinnertime. It was about a pencil and my writing just took off from there. I starting writing in a journal as a teenager. I started life as a military brat. My Dad joined the Air Force when I was six months old. So the world has been my playground/ home. This is where I learned to treat people with respect and I learned to accept myself. I come from a Christian family which means I have always been in Church. When I was 17 I had a personal encounter with Christ. Since then I have been on a journey to learn more about Him and myself. I enjoy writing, reading, blogging, photography, scrapbooking, social networking, walking. I have never met a library or used bookstore that I didn’t like.
I am now married and we moved our family to the beautiful state of Alaska where the spirit of animals and men roam free. My husband and I are college students. we enjoy improving ourselves and learning in general.
I write inspirational poetry.

My parents also love reading so they took us (my brother’s and myself ) to the library and bookstore.
I feel like I was born with a pencil in my hand since i am so comfotable with words and books. I wrote my first story at six years old and my writing took off from there.

I have yet to find a bookstore or library that I am not comfortable in.

Basically books that inspire and encourage a people to be better than they are. I try to write the same kind of books.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I write through the whispered power of the Holy Spirit. I wants to write about the beauty and simplicity of life and reveal the beauty of Christ to the broken and lost souls of humanity. I have been given the ability to write simply and honestly from the heart so it is understandable. I believe writing is a language of the heart and is a beautiful way to share one’s innermost feelings.
I am an author working under the Holy Spirit’s daily direction. I focus on the Holy Spirits daily direction for my life and writing. I have enjoyed a creative partnership with the Holy Spirit for many years.
I write inspirational poetry and has published two books so far. I have been told by my readers that my writing reminds them of the Psalms of David. I have been told I am similar to Ruth Bell Graham and Helen Steiner Rice.
I want to encourage people through the written word with the help of the whispered power of The Holy Spirit I write about the beauty and simplicity of life. Through my writing I want to reveal the beauty of Christ. I listen for the Lord’s direction and write what is put on my heart to encourage the lost and broken souls of the world. I have finally come to realize my purpose in life is to write what is on God’s heart and encourage them with it.
