After more than a decade and 33 publications in the world of secular fiction, Tonya Ridener-Wood now writes with a renewed purpose: to glorify God and share the redeeming love of Jesus Christ through heartfelt Christian romance. A redeemed author with a heart for the prodigal, Tonya is passionate about reaching readers who believe they've wandered too far from grace. Her debut Christian novel, Zero to Forever, draws deep inspiration from the parable of the prodigal son, offering a powerful message of hope, restoration, and the God who never stops pursuing us.Tonya lives in Southeastern Kentucky with her husband and their tabby cat, Christine. When she's not writing, she enjoys family time, attending church, reading, and recording gospel music to encourage and uplift others. Her greatest desire is to see hearts softened, faith rekindled, and lives transformed through the stories she writes-all for the glory of God."But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 (KJV)
