Sincerely, Mayla by Virginia Smith (Tour Day 2)

Bio Sketch

Virginia Smith

Virginia Smith is an award-winning author of humorous novels, a
speaker, and an avid scuba diver. She left her twenty-year career as a
corporate director in the summer of 2005 to launch her career as a
writer. Since that time she has received contracts for ten inspirational
novels. She writes in two genres: contemporary fiction and mysteries.
Sincerely, Mayla is her fifth release, following Just As I Am,
Murder by Mushroom, Bluegrass Peril and Stuck in the
Middle.

Sincerely, Mayla is the long-awaited sequel to Ginny’s debut novel. Of
her new book, Ginny says, “My quirky heroine wormed her way into
people’s hearts in Just As I Am, and they demanded more. I’m excited
to give Mayla center stage again, and thrilled to know that readers love
her as much as I do.”

Ginny has published articles in a variety of magazines, and her short
fiction has been anthologized. She maintains an active membership in
several professional organizations, including Christian Writers
Fellowship International, and American Christian Fiction Writers. She
also serves on the board of directors for the Christian Authors Network.
In March of 2008, she was honored to be named Writer of the Year at
Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference, an award selected by the
conference’s 72 faculty and staff members representing a cross section of
the Christian publishing industry.

When she isn’t writing or speaking, Ginny and her husband, Ted, enjoy
exploring the extremes of nature – snow skiing in the Wasatch
Mountains near Salt Lake City, motorcycle riding on the curvy roads in
central Kentucky, and scuba diving in the warm waters of Mexico and the
Caribbian.
