If you’ve happened upon this site, chances are you love fiction as much as I do.
I love stories showing messy, broken lives … God’s light shines so brightly when we’re hurting. His redemption is amazingly clear.
And those messy stories are what I love to write. I’ve completed the first two books in a romance series, Where the Heart Is Series, that asks to Whom will you give your heart? The first novel in that series, Hearts at Risk, was a Contemporary Romance Finalist in the 2012 Genesis contest for unpublished authors! I’ve also completed a contemporary fiction series, the Brooks Family series, that follows a family in Minnesota as they learn the value of a Father’s love. The first novel in that series, Pieces of Granite, was a Women’s Fiction Semi-Finalist in the 2012 Genesis contest.
If you’d like to get a glimpse into my life, you can read my bio in About Me, or you can stop by my blog where I chat about Faith, Family, Fiction, Fun!, and also give you some Food for Thought.
If you’re an author, on the Writing Links page I’ve compiled a list of helpful sites. This page is a unending work in progress.
I’d love to hear from you! If you have a moment, click on over to the Contact Me page and send me a note.
Thank you for visiting Brenda Anderson Books!

Love your photo and background. Look forward to reading your books. My friend Jill Urback is also a writer. She just won award for a short story, “Messy Blessings”. I think you can access it on my facebook page.
Thank you! A friend of mine (Gay Hartfiel–Portraits From the Heart) is a phenomenal photographer–she has that waterfall built into her back yard!
I look forward to the day when people will be able to read my books too. Hopefully soon …
I looked Jill up & then introduced myself. It’s always fun to meet fellow authors.
The new website looks great!
Thanks Karen!
Sonny tells me you made the newspaper feature article. I’d love to read it. Would you mind scanning and email me?
Love,

Glad to, Aunt Arlene.

Thanks Amy! Best wishes on your writing too!
Thanks for stopping by.
Where have I been that I haven’t seen this until now! Wonderful, wonderful website, Brenda! May it quickly fill with Brenda Anderson books!
Thank you, Steph! I’ve been slowly working on it, making major changes just these past couple of weeks. I still have some small items to add or change, but am happy with it overall.
Lovely website, Brenda! And that really is a beautiful photo. Nice job!
Thanks, Stacy.
My photographer–http://portraitsfromtheheart.net/–did a marvelous job. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for portraits–business photo or otherwise.
Congratulations Brenda! I am so proud of you for following your dreams. Your dedication and hard work is obvious. Enjoy the fruits of your labor! I hope you have a wonderful time at the conference and that you come home a winner . . . even though you already are one, in my book.
Thank you, Lorna! I really appreciate your support & friendship.
Blessings!
