Romance novelist Sandra D. Bricker is one of the latest to add her voice to Christian Retailing's online Author Corner, helping connect writers and retailers.

The author of titles in Summerside Press' "Love Finds You" series and Always the Baker, Never the Bride (Abingdon Press) talks about her inspiration and writing life in a series of short interviews at the magazine's Web site, www.christianretailing.com.

Bricker tells how she composes her novels on the weekends or whenever she can carve out time away from her 40-hour "day job," and credits God for the way He has brought people into her life at the right time, from encouraging friends and editors to agents and other authors.

Writing Christian fiction is a natural fit, she says, because "it doesn't seem like a natural part of life without the faith element in it." Among books she recommends others read is Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, which "paints a beautiful picture and tells a great story."

Bricker is one of 80-plus authors and more than 400 clips featured on Author Corner, created to help stores know about the people behind the pens.
