I was thinking…all that stuff you read about me just now, in the third person, I thought I should write a little more about me, in the first.

As I mention in my book, I decided I’d like to use a nom de plume if I ever wrote a book; hence the pen name: D Loren West.

Let it be known. I am basically an introvert. I am not one to seek the spotlight. Truly. Publishing this book was a bold move for me, but I want to tell the story and glorify God.

He told me I should do it—so I am.
