About Me
My imagination has always been highly active. Ever since I was little I have had stories developing in my mind, beginning with crazy pretend adventures with my two younger brothers. I first started putting those stories down on paper when I was eight years old, according to the oldest written story I have in a beat up old, green notebook. My love for writing came from my mom. I may never have considered writing if I had not seen her writing when I was young. Her decision to homeschool me also played a huge part in my writing. I don't believe I would have had the time or energy to write as much as I did growing up if not for that, and I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am now.
My first stories were one page chapters that were each their own mini stories about the same character. My biggest inspirations then were the Babysitter's Club Little Sister series and, my very favorite, The Pony Pals series. All the stories I wrote between the ages of eight and thirteen were about girls and horses since that was all I could think about. The first story I can actually say I finished was my own version of one of my favorite Pony Pal books. My love for writing Christian fiction started with The Pirate Daughter's Promise, which I began writing when I was fifteen.
The decision to publish independently came about mostly out of impatience to have a book in my hands and not knowing what else to do. However, in the years that have followed, I've developed a deep passion for the world of indie publishing. Looking back at where God has taken me through it all and discovering where He's still leading me is incredible. Indie publishing is now a fully informed choice that I don't see changing in the near future. I look forward with great anticipation to see where God continues to guide me.
One of the biggest choices I've made is to begin publishing under a new pen name, Jaye L. Knight. My focus right now is Christian fantasy, though I may eventually come back and publish something non-fantasy under Molly Evangeline. It's an exciting new chapter to my career as an author. You can follow all the new developments here at my second website.
