Latayne's Story
Latayne C. Scott, by the grace and mercy of God, is author of over two dozen published books and is the recipient of the Distinguished Christian Service Award by Pepperdine University for “Creative Christian Writing.” She has also won national awards and contests for poetry, humor and radio plays. Most recently, her novel A Conspiracy of Breath (TSU Press) won three international awards. Others of her books were published by Howard/Simon&Schuster, Zondervan/Harper Collins, and other publishers.
Her newest book is the co-written Talking With Teens About Sexuality: Critical Conversations About Social Media, Gender Identity, Same-Sex Attraction, Pornography, Purity, Dating, Etc. She also recently co-wrote Protecting Your Child From Predators: How to Recognize and Respond to Sexual Danger. Both books were published by Bethany.
She won her first award for writing in the 3rd grade with an essay on Fire Prevention, and continued to win awards for poetry throughout high school. She attended college on poetry scholarships; and served as the president of the New Mexico State Poetry Society where she was editor of two anthologies of poetry. She's always busy teaching, editing and doing research, including for her co-authored website of theological studies, Representational Research.
Latayne lives, writes and records in her native New Mexico. She has two grown, married children, five grandchildren and a serious addiction to the written word. Oh, and then there's the Amish ghost story.
