Doris Staton
English, Class of 1956
When Doris Stanton English left college to
marry the man of her dreams, little did she realize that the happiness
and fulfillment she found in this union would inspire her to share that
joy with others through her writing.
A romantic at
heart, Doris has always loved a good story. The introduction of the
inspirational genre to the romance market presented her with the perfect
adventure bubbling inside her. Convinced that somewhere within the
heart of a woman is a deep longing for that special someone in whom she
can safely invest her dreams and to whom she can give herself body, mind
and soul, she creates exciting love stories based on romance as God
intended it to be.
After 40 years
of marriage, and more in love than ever, Doris recognizes that love is
not a goal, but rather a journey with obstacles and temptations all
along the way. From her heart she creates characters that live and
breathe as they face and overcome barriers that would destroy their
happiness
Realizing that
serenity nurtures romance, Doris and her husband, Bob, along with their
three daughters, moved to a small farm just outside metropolitan
Atlanta. In this serene setting, her delight is relaxing on the front
porch of her modified French country home and watching deer graze in the
pasture in front of her house while visions of heroes and heroines dance
through her head. Adding to those moments of inspiration is the
extensive travel Doris and Bob have enjoyed, where new settings and
adventures set her mind ablaze. Their travels have included the Middle
East, Europe, Great Britain, the Caribbean, Alaska, Canada and Hawaii,
but their favorite place of all is their own romantic cabin nestled in
the Blue Ridge Mountains on a bluff high above the Toccoa River
where Doris spends her most productive hours writing.
Although her
marriage and subsequent arrival of three daughters delayed her
education, putting her dreams of writing on hold, she continued her
education when her children entered school. Committed to the role of
wife and mother as her first priority, she arranged her schedule to meet
the needs of her family. Finally, one year before her youngest daughter
graduated from college, Doris graduated from West Georgia University
with a 4.0 average and a B.A. degree in history, along with a minor in
journalism!
When she looks
at the three mature, productive young women who are her daughters and
experiences the encouragement of her loving husband to pursue her dream,
she has no regrets. As a matter of fact, she has learned that a dream
delayed and nurtured is all the sweeter when realized.
A HEALING LOVE is Doris’s third inspirational romance. Her credits also
include articles for inspirational magazines, historical journals and
newspapers.
Doris and nephew, John Rocker
