Cheryl McKay is the screenwriter of the Award winning movie, The Ultimate Gift, and co-author of the Award Winning novel, Never the Bride. Her book, Finally the Bride: Finding Hope While Waiting, released in 2012. And she recently released Finally Fearless: Journey from Panic to Peace. The film version of Never the Bride is in development. Her next co-written novel with Rene Gutteridge, Greetings from the Flipside, will be out in October 2013 by B&H Publishing.
Mission: Purple PenWorks is the banner under which Cheryl McKay works on creative projects, penning film and television projects, novels and non-fiction books. She also now works as a producer on scripts she writes. Cheryl became known as the "purple pen writer" during the release of Never the Bride, where the purple pen became a character in the story. Now, she always brainstorms her stories using a variety of purple pens. The Vision Statement for Purple PenWorks is to create stories that touch hearts, have redeeming value, cause people to think about what they believe and how they live their lives, bring about change for the good, stories that make a person ask questions, stories that bring hope to those who've lost sight of it, or stories that remind us that beauty and good can come from difficult and painful situations.

In honor of the 56th anniversary of The Bump, the big coal mining disaster I use for the novel, Song of Springhill, I'm running a Kindle / Ebook special on both Song of Springhill and Spirit of Springhill (the book of true life stories) for 1.99 each on Amazon now through Oct. 29th. Such wonderful men were taken from the world too soon, and also some of the most amazing men were miraculously rescued. So thankful my grandfather was one of those who walked out of the mine, never to go down again---and moved Dad to Massachusetts so he could meet my mom. :)
