Oh, You Want to Know More? Glad You Asked!
Hey! I'm Ryana Lynn (Miller) Peterson and I'm originally from Central North Carolina, currently living in Northern Maryland! I married Jacob Peterson on December 19th, 2020, thus transferring my base of operations! As the third born of seven kids, I am the only red head! I am an Independent Fundamental Baptist and staunchly Pro-Life.
When I'm not writing Historical Fiction or a Christmas Novella about First Responders, I might be found reading (probably historical fiction, a devotional or a mystery), trying out a new recipe (while adding to a list of kitchen mishaps!), making a blanket for the newest niece or nephew on the way (a tradition I accidentally started and adore!), researching Creation Science (Did I mention that the Geologic column is a hoax?), singing with my husband (conservative, Christ-honoring music!), learning about web design (I must stress the learning part!) and spending time outdoors (I love a good walk in the great outdoors!). I am also learning about household logistics and continue to help in our family's ministry, fbnradio.com. (Please check out our site!)
I graduated from homeschool in 2013. I knew that I wanted to be an author, but I had no idea how much work was involved! My first novel was published in 2015/2016 (Printing around Christmas and New Years is not a good idea!) four years after I wrote the first draft.
My Testimony
In September 2001, 9-11 took place. I was five years old, and I remember people talking about the planes flying into the twin towers. I didn’t understand what was going on, but it scared me. When I heard about all those people dying, it set me to thinking about where I would go after I died.
On July 3rd, 2002, when I was six, my sister Gera and I were playing David and Goliath in our backyard. Dad was grilling in preparation for America’s birthday the following day. Different things from sermons I’d heard came to my mind, and I began asking dad some questions. To be honest, I don’t remember what the exact questions were, but I do remember that they had to do with Salvation.
Dad answered my questions to my satisfaction, and I went back to play, but the conviction of the Holy Spirit compelled me to settle the question of my eternity that day. I knelt next to my mom’s flower garden and asked the Lord to forgive me of my sins and save me. I have never regretted that decision.
My Goal
My Goal as a writer is to provide Historical, Christian Fiction to those who want an accurate account of history and conservative books to read, to guide others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and I also hope to provide an answer for those who don't understand our Country's fine heritage. Because some of the topics I have covered can be a bit controversial (pro-Confederacy and Pro-Police), my goal is to write with compassion and make a difference (Jude 22). I would be honored if you would consider subscribing to my blog and joining me on my writing journey!
