About the Author...
Stacy Hawkins Adams has a gift for writing fiction and nonfiction that helps readers find meaning in their own journeys. She has penned 12 books — nine women's fiction novels and three nonfiction books, and she is at work on a new novel.
Her fiction features themes related to personal growth, authentic friendship, family ties, and matters of faith, and some of her novels have been featured reading selections in high school and college courses. They include the enduring reader favorite, Watercolored Pearls; Coming Home (a Target stores Recommended Read); The Someday List (an Essence magazine bestseller), and Dreams That Won't Let Go (a Library of Virginia Literary Award finalist).
Stacy's nonfiction work includes a compilation of original quotes in a notecard collection that features the photography of actress/author Daphne Maxwell Reid, and most recently, a single-poem chapbook titled The Pivot.
Stacy is a recent recipient of the Motivational Author of the Year award from the National Black Book Festival. She also was honored with a Central Virginia Communications & Leadership Award that Toastmasters International gives to non-members.
Before becoming an author, Stacy was a newspaper reporter and columnist. She currently maintains an inspirational blog, Life Untapped.
She also delivers motivational messages live on air several times a month for her local CBS affiliate's Virginia This Morning news show. Her morning news segments, and a series of interviews that showcase compelling personal stories, can be found on her YouTube channel.
Stacy teaches writing workshops several times a year in her local community, around the nation and globally. She also serves as a keynote speaker for corporate, civic, and faith-based audiences on the themes of personal development, leadership and the power of storytelling.
Beyond the literary world, Stacy is a strategic communications professional and longtime community volunteer. She is also the proud and grateful Mom of two young adult children.
