Creative Short Story writer, former teacher, mother, and Christian, Melanie Schatzel, M.Ed. has explored her faith from a new perspective for those questioning their own. In her new, long-awaited-for series, "From Shutter To Story's Devotionals", she writes from a personal and insightful perspective with a delicate nature about themes of faith from the eyes of one who had to take a detour to discover for herself how she hears Him. In this series of books, Melanie explores topics in such a way that any reader can connect with her intimate experiences, her sensitivity to certain themes, and appreciate her approach of exploration in a devotional, imagery support through her own photography, and elaboration in simple poetry written to share her faith, her path, and her beliefs in a way that others can relate to. Additionally, she has returned to writing short stories. Known for her collection of inspirational fictional Christmas stories, Melanie Schatzel, M.Ed. responded to readers requests for more. She has returned to writing short stories based on faith concepts with the intent of reaching readers of young adult and adult age questioning their faith, their trust in the Lord, and their relationship with the Lord. Beginning in 2024, these short stories first appear as Ebooks. Seeking additional support for her writing, she asks that all who read, share! And keep coming back as she continues to add to the collection!
