Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a wild imagination and I still do. I've always been able to fantasise effortlessly and had the habit of writing everything down. Writing helps me process emotions and express myself. It's how I turn thoughts into something tangible. I've always loved fiction the sky is the limit! For years, I dreamed of writing a book, and now that dream has come true. All glory to God! My story, Ripple in Still Waters, reflects His presence, with Tori as a guardian angel. The book was inspired by my sister, Michelle, who passed away at sixteen months old before I was born. Writing allowed me to imagine her as Tori, seeing the world from heaven's view. Fiona, the main character, represents my younger self, and through her, I gave Tori purpose. I also brought my father back to life as Tony and honoured his real story. My sequel continues that journey, reviving more loved ones through the written word making them live again in spirit and imagination.All through school, English and Literature were my passions. I could remember every character, every storyline, and I loved being lost in fantasy. I started writing before the internet even existed. I took a correspondence writing course by mail, determined to learn the craft. Years later, I finally began the book that refused to leave my heart. I sent my manuscript to two publishers, and both wanted it! I chose the one who replied first it felt right. After hard work and faith, Ripple in Still Waters by Monique Champagne was born. Later, I released it as an audiobook, eBook, hardcover, and paperback. With my website now live, I truly feel fulfilled all by God's guidance.I once lived an active life: running, hiking, and doing Jazzercise. But at thirty-six, everything changed when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative joint disease, and chronic fibromyalgia. It took years of pain, perseverance, and nine years for doctors to finally diagnose me properly. Massachusetts General Hospital saved my life. I had been a caregiver for elderly, mentally challenged men with Alzheimer's a job I loved but could no longer do physically. When my doctor told me to stop working, it was devastating. But it turned into a blessing. I started writing full time, transforming my pain into purpose. I enrolled in another writing course, learning to write professionally at my own pace on days my body allowed.My daily routine now begins early with coffee by the window as I check emails and write surrounded by peace. I often drive to visit my elderly mother for errands, groceries, or just to sit and watch game shows together. My husband, my rock and biggest fan, encourages me daily. He proofreads my work and believes in me unconditionally. After thirteen years together, we married in 2020 - he truly is my best friend.Life remains beautifully busy full of ordinary blessings. I still clean, cook, shop, and garden. I love spending time with my family and grandchildren, sharing Italian meals from my husband's grandfather's recipe, laughing and making memories. I enjoy painting birdhouses that my husband builds, feeding the birds, and writing beneath the big maple tree on our deck. Though we've traded motorcycle rides for peaceful boating days, we cherish every moment. Living in the quiet woods feels like living the dream one day at a time.Ripple in Still Waters is a quick yet meaningful read. It's about faith, love, and seeing life through the lens of grace. Writing is my way of defying limitations and celebrating God's blessings. The best is yet to come and I'm grateful for every page of this journey.
