Gail Ann Warner

The parents of Gaileen Ann Williams joined the family of God five years before she was born, and they faithfully attended a large rural Nazarene Church named Richfield, located near Flint, Michigan. Her brother Teddy died in a car accident when he was eleven, and her sister Jill was born six years later. Gail gave her heart to the Lord at an early age.

At Christmas time, 1963, she married Richard Warner, and they waited to start a family until he earned his engineering degree. In l972, Richard felt God’s call to full-time ministry. For thirty-five years, Gail’s varied roles as a minister’s wife brought her great fulfillment and opportunities to witness for Christ. With fond memories, she recalls the years in a parsonage setting, where they raised three outstanding daughters. They are also proud to claim eight terrific grandchildren.

Gail received inspiration from her mother, Mildred V. Williams, (1915-2010). Although she was legally blind as the result of her 11-year struggle with macular degeneration, Mildred enjoyed listening to her daughter read, and she kept an independent vivacious spirit until the final day of her life.

With a busy schedule, Gail often wrote in the middle of the night. She liked the editing process the best. For unlike reality, she could alter the plot, add her humor, imagine suspenseful tales, fit historical information into the dialog, and compose moments of inspiration.

Rockford, Illinois is home to Gail and her husband. Since she is a cancer survivor, she studies about health issues. She finds joy in participating in Beth Moore Bible studies, traveling in the U.S., working in her flower garden, and connecting with friends on Facebook. Her prayer is that this novel will minister to each reader in an individual and unique way.
