Learning to Dance in the Storm

By Lynx

Learning to Dance in the Storm, was a healing book for me as I wrote about my personal storms God has delivered me from. About a year ago God laid it on my heart to write this book about my testimonies. It was the hardest book Ive ever written because I had to experience each storm all over again. God wanted me to write about the storms he has carried me through from a tragic car accident, an abusive boyfriend, and
an illness. By the grace of God I am still here today to tell my story and help someone else that maybe experiencing a storm in life. I pray that Learning to Dance in the Storm will heal and restore your faith in God. If he bought me through it he can do the same for you. Enjoy!

mzScorpion currently lives in Richmond VA with her husband and three children. She started writing when she was seventeen but was ashamed to free her erotic imagination on the world...Until Now. She is a new author to the erotic scene and this will be her first published book ...but not her last. So look out because whoever opened her cage better run for their lives. She is on fire. Lynx is definitely an author on her way to the top. She has enough skills under her belt to master it all. A phenomenal writer, who decided she didn't want to stick to the norm and write for one genre. Lynx chose to write about everything from inspirational, urban, children books, and erotica tales. Her first book "Leaning to Dance in the Storm" has received rave reviews. Be on the lookout for this shining star because it is her time to shine!

Learning to Dance in the Storm, is dedicated to everyone who has ever experienced going through a storm in life. God is always there for us through all our storms no matter how big or small. This is a testimony of my personal storms God has brought me through.

As I started writing this book I was reminded of a song by Yolanda Adams, Through the Storm. I listened to the words and realized everyone will experience a storm at some point in their life. A storm is not a punishment from God, but the storms bring growth and wisdom to that person.
