More about Verity:
I'm Verity Lucia. I'm a wife, mom to four awesome kids, and a former wayward teen.  I was raised in a loving Christian household, but as a teen had too many questions about our faith and not enough answers. So, when I left home at seventeen as a non-practicing Catholic and threw myself into an unhealthy college environment with nothing but my own desires to guide me, the result wasn't pretty.
I was on fire, not for God, but for architecture and chasing my dreams.
Fortunately, God drew me out of the mess I'd made, and I finally saw that His ways were better than mine. I  surrendered to His will, and now instead of designing buildings, I write the books that I needed as a teen and young adult.
