Brenda Minton

Brenda Minton is a author who was born and raised on a farm in the Ozarks. As a child, she spent her time reading, watching network TV, hosting friends for card games and music, and developing an active imagination. Her rural upbringing had a significant impact on her career as a writer. Minton always dreamed of becoming an author and a jockey, but ultimately writing won out over her other aspirations.

In 2006, Minton received a call that changed her life and made her dreams come true, as she was welcomed into the Steeple Hill family of authors. She is now married and lives with her spouse in the Ozarks, where she continues to write, procrastinate, drink coffee, and raise her children. Minton is also a pastor's wife and a children's ministry worker, and she enjoys spending her free time sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee or going out to eat with friends.

Minton is the author of the Love Inspired Cooper Creek series and can often be found on facebook, connecting with her readers and discussing her work. She is known for her ability to create engaging and heartwarming stories that resonate with her audience. Her writing is influenced by her background and experiences, and she continues to draw inspiration from her life in the Ozarks.
