Karen J. Gillett is from Oregon with contributing writing in three books. Two books in a series called “Extra Ordinary Answer to Prayer” by the editors of Guideposts. Books titled Tragedy to Triumph and Love and Forgiveness. Her third book was by Gary Chapman and James Stuart Bell called Love is a Verb.


The encouragement she has to offer is from her own discouraging moments in dealing with health issues. At 12 years old she had a head injury that later created uncontrollable epilepsy. She was disabled for 12 years before being cured. Twenty years later she now struggles with breast and bone cancer. Her writing is her way of helping others struggling with health issues and the emotional strain it can cause. As God as her coach everyday life has been her playing field with victories as well as losses yet to be tallied on the scoreboard of life.
