About the Author

FAYE JONES HOWARD discovered an appreciation for the worth of words at an early age. Her first published poem, "A Minute's Dream" was written when she was a high school senior. She placed second and third place consecutively in 2001 and 2002 in the Babbie Mason Music Seminar, which was her first songwriting experience. Faye is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International; Contemporary Christian Music Network International; and ASCAP. Faye began making contributions to her church and community theater by writing materials for special events, including plays, church documentaries and women's conferences. "Because She's a Lady" was born out of the women's conference writings that Faye contributed to the women's ministry at her church. It also contains other writings in reference to the church as a whole. This book honors the inspiration that came about as part of her experience with the women's ministry. Faye is sixty six years old and the proud mother of two children and grandmother of eight. She is working on her next book; "Compassion... Like We Never Knew". She was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in 2010. It is her hope that this upcoming book will minister to others with a terminal cancer diagnosis.
