RAMONA CECIL |
Ramona K. Cecil is a wife, mother, grandmother, free-lance poet,
and award-winning inspirational romance writer. Now empty-
nesters, she and her husband of thirty-four years make their home
in southern Indiana. Check out her website at www.ramonakcecil.

Her creative writing credits began first, with the publication of her
poetry. Between the mid 1980’s and 1990’s, over eighty of her
inspirational verses were published by Dickson, Inc., a leading
publisher of inspirational and Christian gift items. It was about that
time that a visit to Conner Prairie, a living history museum near
Indianapolis, IN, inspired the story that would one day become
Larkspur, her first inspirational historical romance novel. In 2002,
she became serious about writing Christian fiction and joined
American Christian Fiction Writers. Over the next few years, she
wrote five novels and four novellas. Her work has won first place
in two writing contests and placed highly in two others.
Larkspur, her debut novel, was the 2005 winner of Vintage
Romance Publishing’s Vintage Inspirations Contest. Part of first-
place prize was a publishing contract with Vintage Romance
Publishers, and the book was released November, 2006
(www.vrpublishing.com). Since then, a second inspirational
historical romance also set in Indiana, was accepted by Barbour
Publishing’s Heartsong Presents line. That book, Sweet Forever, is
scheduled for release March, 2008.When not writing, her hobbies
include reading, gardening, and visiting places of historical
interest.
Testimony
I give God all the glory for my writing successes. Early on, I asked
Him to guide me in my quest. He did. I ask Him to put people in my
way to help me toward my goals. He did. As I look back on my
writing journey over the past six years, it seems like an uneven line
meandering across a graph. Although high points are inevitably
followed by plunges, the line when seen as a whole, displays a
constant, creeping movement upward. God doesn’t promise that
the journey toward your goal will be without obstacles. But He
does promise to travel the journey with you and help you around
and over those obstacles. That is what He did, and continues to
do, for me. May I leave you with the words from Ephesians 3:20.
“Glory be to God, who by His mighty power at work within us is
able to do far more than we would ever dare ask or even dream
of. . .”
