ABOUT SALLY
Hi, I'm Sally Chambers, an aspiring author of Hold Your Breath and Hope inspirational fiction, who has also written award-winning poetry, and short stories. My husband, Jerry, and I have enjoyed living on the East Coast of Florida for many years. He worked at the Kennedy Space Center and my career was first stay-at-home-mom then business owner. We have two married children, two grandchildren, and a great granddaughter. We're so blessed to have them living close--all are Floridians.
Click here The Stonekeepers or here Amazon Agenda to read about two of my completed novels. A story for a novella is complete, and a third novel, Sub Rosa Reef, is in the works.
Following a career as an agent for the Nationwide Insurance Companies, I retired and now devote much of my time to writing. Some credits are devotionals in The Upper Room, newspaper articles in Florida Today newspaper, and stories for take-home papers for Standard Publishing's Kidz Chat. I've also developed Sunday school material for children, written several short stories, recording them on audiotape for an Australian radio station, had fun writing drama, and have enjoyed editing two devotional books for my church.
Donning my editor's hat, I recently edited my daughter, Deborah Sandidge's book, Digital Infrared Photography, my Australian friend Zillah Williams' devotional book, Healing is a Way of Life, and my niece, Heather Reeder's book covering the A B C history of Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
Active with Christian Writers Fellowship International online, a member since 1997, I've participated as a moderator, writing a weekly topic for discussion, since 2005. One of the best online organizations I've ever joined has been American Christian Fiction Writers. And I'm a guest contributor to the Blog, Making Home Work, a wonderful group of young stay-at-home-moms. |

I love working with my online critque partners and attending a weekly Christian writers group led by editor/writer, Laura Brooks. That group's origination was inspired by the late pastor/writer, Jamie Buckingham.
I'm thrilled to be represented by my agent, Diana Flegal, of the Hartline Literary Agency. Check out Hartline's Blog too, at From the Heart.

Volunteering, and mentoring children and young adults has been a long-time passion.
I'm a member of the First United Methodist Church of Melbourne, taught youth Sunday school for many years, and currently attend an adult class. I volunteer weekly, reading to the children attending The Master's Workshop.
The Salvation Army holds a warm place in my heart, and I serve on the local Salvation Army Advisory Board, participating in a number of the Salvation Army's activities as well.
Jerry and I enjoy spending time during the summer in the mountains of North Carolina, a tiny spot called Loafer's Glory, once mentioned by National Geographic magazine! While there, I research for my novels, read, do puzzles, crochet, bead, and walk the trails we have on our land. Then on Sundays, we attend the little Vians Valley Church within walking distance. A little piece of heaven! |
"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast" (Psalm 139:9-10 NIV).
