Kendra Parks grew up reading books in trees and playing her own violin in a traveling string quartet. She is currently working on her Master's in Theological Studies and has a B.A. in Communications-Journalism. She has taught violin lessons and played music in countless venues. She has also worked professionally in design and been published in various print and digital platforms. Her heart in writing Grace Notes is to create delightful stories centered around her love of music with moments of real-life faith included rather than edited out. She longs to create characters kids can identify with and emulate, knowing that God has amazing plans for their lives and that they can do great things in a humble way, regardless of their young age. She currently lives, creates and writes on the edge of a whimsical forest with her best friend/husband who is also a writer, four brilliant dreamers, and their fluffy, tail-wagging pup.
