Bestselling/Award-Winning Author / Certified Christian Dating-Relationship Coach / Ordained Minister (ThD) & Speaker / CEO, Adoni Publishing, LLC

Dr. Velma is a seasoned business leader, retired Deputy Administrator after 38 years with state government, a women’s ministry leader for 30+ years, and married 50 blessed years. All of this led to her passion: to write, coach, and speak to help women love God, love themselves, embrace their worth and date for marriage to discover the husband they deserve. She found her love for Christian contemporary fiction comparing it to Jesus’ parables, where he allowed the person to see themselves in his stories, he provided redemption or a way out and in the end, it was the individual’s decision to change.

She is married to Pastor Dr. Bruce, and the two have two adult daughters, a son-in-love, and three beautiful grandchildren. They reside on the West Coast.
