"I am a writer dedicated to using the talents God has given me for Him. Writing is a hobby... a pastime... a passion. I absorb and recycle words like oxygen, loving every moment of turning a blank page into a vivid painting that exercises the imagination."

I am Rachel L. Burkum, an author dedicated to writing wholesome, entertaining and educational material. Focusing on novels, short stories, devotionals and more, my writings take on a range of topics and have been enjoyed by many. I have also developed an interest in photography and computer abstract art, and have created prints and gift items with my works.

Novels
My Christian novels combine my passions of God and horses, and weave delicate threads of romance throughout the fictional stories. See details about these books here.
Collections
Short stories, poems, devotionals and more come to life in my recent book, Smatterings of an Analytical Loner. See details here.
Poetry
While I normally do not present myself as a poet, I do enjoy writing poetry in between my novels or short stories. Currently I'm working on presenting some of my poetry as ready-to-frame art.See details here.
Children
Matthew's Bible Stories is a new series about a young deaf boy who visits Sunday school and learns about Old Testament Bible characters. Check it out here.
Photography & Abstract Art
While not focusing on writing, I loves taking pictures of nature. Developing my photography into various forms (including abstract art), gift items are now available! Details can be found here.
