About Pepper

Hi all!


Ready to spice things up with some fun-filled fiction and humorous non-fiction?

Do you like adventure mixed with romance and faith?

Romantic comedy? Fantasy? Heart-pumping historicals?

Well, you've come to the right place.

My name is Pepper Basham. I'm an aspiring author, and I write all of the above.

By day, I'm a pastor's wife, mom of five, speech-language pathologist, and college instructor.

By night, (after the housework is somewhat completed, or at least I'm not falling over it), I'm a writer.

I wrote my first story when I was a nine year- old, freckled-faced tomboy in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Coming from a long line of oral storytellers, weaving a good yarn seemed a typical part of my life. It wasn’t until I finished college, had two children, and a full time job before I began to study the ‘craft’ of writing (you know when I had plenty of time). My music-director turned pastor husband took his first senior pastor position three years ago, moved the 6 of us to Tennessee, where we added our fifth and final kid to the Basham crew.


So…now I’m a 34-year old, freckled-faced mommy enjoying life, learning to write, and laughing often. My mom says that I must have a small bit of insanity because I don’t realize how stressed I ought to be.

Most of my contemporary romances bring the beauty and culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains into play.

Either way, I hope you find loads of useful information to inspire you and make you smile.

Life is busy, but God is good.

Pepper
