My Story Title:   Meant For Her

My Story Genre:  Christian Contemporary Women's Fiction with Romance 

My Story Released:   November 14, 2019

~ ~ ~ ~

Author of my Story: Joy Avery Melville



Joy Avery Melville’s heart’s desire is to be the author God has called her to be by sharing Him with readers in such a way they long to have a deeply committed personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord.

Fully intending to write Historical Romance—had in fact— she didn’t want to deviate from that. God had different plans for that ‘call’ He’d made on her life back in 1967. A mere eighth grader at the time, she had no clue about the topics she’d be drawn to write about.

Surrendering to the genre God placed on her heart has given Joy new insight into the hearts and lives of those who too often hurt in silence.

The settings of Joy’s books are near where she lives in Schoolcraft, Michigan with her husband of 46 years and their 18 month-old Yorkie, Is-A-Bella Bindi, (Is-a-beautiful little girl) who thinks she’s a much larger breed with tomboy tendencies.

Joy loves to hear from readers.

I just now heard about your book, for the first time.
It sounds very interesting and I would love to have my name entered into your drawing for a free copy.
In the meantime I will search our library (online) to see if they have a copy, if they do not
I will request them to add it to their collection.

Anita,
I'd LOVE to have libraries all over the country carry MEANT FOR HER.
I've seen to it it's in the local ones in our area.

If you don't win the book here, and if you can't find it in your library - I DO sell signed copies and ship them to people living in the United States.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST - Your name is in the drawing now.

Joy, belated happy birthday! Your birthday is the same day as a life long friend of mine, plus 6 days after mine. : )

The winner of Meant for Her will enjoy this inspiring and touching
story. It would be wonderful if all women who has been in similiar situations could read it.

Blessings to you. Believing even greater works will come from you following God with your writing.
