Savannah McPhail grew up as a missionary kid in Cambodia, Southeast Asia. There she developed a passion for God’s Word, a zest for writing, and a deep love for Cambodia. Later, after graduating from Bible college in the U.S.A. with a degree in Communication, God led her back to the country of her heart to serve Jesus Christ there as a missionary with Gospel Fellowship Association.
Writing remains a big part of Savannah’s life, both in ministry and in leisure. Growing up between worlds gave her a fascination with culture, language, diversity, and the ultimate truth of God’s Word. When it comes to fiction, for her stories were first a doorway into exploring God’s world and then an art form through which to share truth. Armed with coffee, tea, and (in the best scenarios) a cat or two, she works to produce quality works that others can enjoy to the glory of God.
Here are her published works!
