When she is not writing, you will find her absorbed in a good book, puttering in her garden or dreaming of France.

Sally Cranham is a writer, singer & songwriter, and Health Coach from the UK. She loves to travel, take photos, work with essential oils, write blogs and be in nature. Sally connected with The Heart Matters Publishing team when she lived in Minnesota working for a non-profit as an Outreach Coordinator, coming alongside women who were victims of sex-trafficking and serving the community.

Sally is passionate about communicating the deep roots of Biblical scripture and seeing her life and the human condition in general through the lense of this sacred text. Having studied with a Rabbi for over 10 years her learning has lead her to explore more of the Hebrew roots and Judaic culture. This is often highlighted in her writing for Heart Matters Publishing.

You can find all of Sally's albums on iTunes  or other streaming apps, including her most recent EP Giants & Figs. For more information about Sally you can visit her website by clicking here

 

LuAnn Adams started her obsession with the written word at a very young age, pulling heavy Books of Knowledge off shelves and continuously pestering her mom to read. She was editor of her high school and college newspaper and then started writing for the college's PR/Communications Dept. She received her B.S. in Communications from the University of Northwestern St. Paul. After working for businesses for several years, LuAnn decided to start freelance editing. She feels blessed to work with Julie Miller and her team to bring inspiration to all who seek to know our dear Savior more. When not editing or writing, you will find LuAnn being taken on walks by her Newfie mix, Mia, and side-kick, Daisy. She also enjoys connecting with family and friends, traveling, water sports, snowmobiling and reading. LuAnn and her husband, Brent, reside in Forest Lake, MN, and are parents to two children, McKayla and Austin.
