Florence Joanne Reid attended BBI, Bible Baptist Institute, night school, for three years while still in high school then attended Cedarville University but didn’t finish college. Instead, Florence went home and married William Reid, whom she met in church. They had twenty-four good years together before he went home to meet his Heavenly Father. They have nine children, twenty-one grandchildren, and as of this writing, fourteen great-grandchildren. Florence loves to read sci-fi, mysteries, love stories, history, and intrigue, besides the Bible. She started writing when in her late thirties then rewriting and making the stories better. For hobbies, she sews, embroiders, creates doilies and snowflakes, and knits, and occasionally paints landscapes. For her stories, she does all her maps.
