In this uplifting episode of New and Everlasting, I sit down with author, editor, and teacher Tristi Pinkston — also known to Western romance fans as Amelia C. Adams. With over 170 published titles, Tristi shares her journey from LDS historical fiction to sweet romance, how she navigated dual audiences under a pen name, and the quiet yet powerful way faith influences all her work.

We talk about:

• The hidden light in every story — and every soul

• Finding creative balance as a mother, homeschooler, and full-time writer

• Her unforgettable dream that launched a career

• How ancestral stories and journals shaped her novel Season of Sacrifice

• The divine spark in writing and why your voice is worth sharing

Whether you're a writer, a reader, or someone seeking joy along the covenant path, this episode will inspire you to create, connect, and believe that your story matters.
