Vera Bell is a Georgia Author of the Year nominee and a recipient of multiple literary awards. Though her faith journey began in childhood, a series of transformative events led her to embrace Christ, reshaping the stories she feels called to tell. After writing a secular historical romance trilogy, she now creates from a place grounded in deeper purpose. Her new novel, Of Flaw and Scorn, is her debut Christian historical romance, where fate collides with faith against the backdrop of the first Viking raid on Ireland. A former commercial artist, Vera lives in Atlanta with her husband, two teenagers, and one fur baby. Her favorite place to write is on her porch, overlooking a pond lined with river birches and magnolias. The topics she never tires of are bygone eras, our universal human condition, and the deeper currents of love, hope, and redemption. You can get a FREE gift at https://www.verabellauthor.com.
