ⓘ About Jodie Bailey
She is a contributor to PWOC Internationals e100 Bible study for military wives. Her memberships include American Christian Fiction Writers. Jodie’s devotions have appeared in Fighting Fear: Winning the War at Home and Sweet Freedom with a Slice of Peach Cobbler. Like a lot of writers, the right song can get her inspiration all spun up. There is this feeling in certain music that just works, and many of her stories have that one song that soundtracks the entire thing. She wrote this two book series, that is about a racing family. When she hears Tobymac’s “Ignition”, she gets pumped to start working on that story all over again. “Freefall” has a song that came after she had finished writing the book, during the revision process. There is a song by Def Leppard called “Two Steps Behind”.
