MEET OUR BOARD
Felicia Ferguson, President
Felicia achieved master’s degrees in Healthcare Administration and Speech-Language Pathology, but has written since childhood and dreamed of authoring books that teach and inspire others. An award-winning fiction and non-fiction freelance writer, she has previously published devotions with Christian Devotions and Inkspirations, written articles for national luxury lifestyle magazine, VIE, and guest blogged on multiple websites. But her greatest writing love is contemporary Southern women’s fiction and romantic suspense. Her heroines are strong women who work through their spiritual and emotional issues using biblical principles and counseling techniques, finding real hope in their happily-ever-after endings.As a child, Felicia lived in Kansas, Texas, and Louisiana before her family settled on a horse and cattle farm in Kentucky. As an adult, she’s lived in Tennessee, the Florida panhandle, and now Colorado. When she’s not glued to her laptop, Felicia enjoys hiking, Bible studies with friends, and looking forward to the next story. Her weekly radio devotions air Saturdays on Christian Mix 106.

Tammy Kennington, Secretary
Tammy Kennington views life through a lens of hope and compassion—a characteristic that flows through her work as a multi-genre author, podcaster, and dually certified life and mental health coach. A practitioner of inner healing prayer, Tammy understands the deep challenges associated with trauma, mental health struggles, and the complexities of parenting through difficult seasons. She most enjoys walking alongside women as they rediscover hope and sharing the love of Christ with little ones.
The author of five write-for-hire children’s books, a multi-author poetry compilation, and a Bible study anthology, Tammy has also written preschool curriculum and close to one hundred articles for publications such as Crosswalk.com, Starlight Magazine, and Focus on the Family. With more than one WIP, she’s focusing most on her love of all things Christian suspense.
Her work has been recognized as a finalist in ACFW’s First Impressions Contest (2023) and in multiple categories—including nonfiction, fiction, and children’s writing—through the Serious Writer Contest (2022–2024).
