My name is D.L. Lunsford. As a Christian writer of short stories and poems, I strive to delve into your hearts and minds by exploring the real stories behind smiles that never reach the eyes. I write the tales too distressing to tell. In a nutshell, I give pain a voice and a platform. As an empathizer, I also provide teachings, insights, and scriptural references I pray will enlighten, inspire, and encourage you to stand and persevere because you are never alone, no matter what you have experienced or suffered. My Lunsford QuickReads don't prattle; they are books that get to the heart of the matter. Long enough to whet the appetite and feed the soul; short enough to leave hours in your busy day.
