I am Gail A. Crenshaw, author of The Bond and founder of ButtorFleoge Publishing.
My journey to becoming a novelist began more than ten years ago. I returned to my manuscript many times, sometimes after leaving it untouched for years. Yet the story never left me. It remained in my spirit—a reminder that it was meant to be shared.
Since childhood, I have been an avid reader, drawn to historical fiction, romance, nonfiction, poetry, and literary fiction. To me, books are sources of knowledge and enjoyment. They carry us to places we may never visit, expand our imaginations, and give us the freedom to dream.
My inspiration to write comes from a desire to tell our stories truthfully. Even in fiction, every story has roots—in memories, emotions, and experiences that deserve to be remembered.
“I firmly believe that if we do not narrate our own stories, others will fabricate them for us.”
That belief is at the heart of my work. I am Gail A. Crenshaw—a writer of stories that become books.
