April Newton lives in a peaceful Ohio farming community, where chickens, grandchildren, and a lively family keep life vibrant. She's a wife, mother of five, grandmother of six, and the founder of Newton Apple Books, a company committed to creating wholesome, faith-filled "Stories that make you think." April is a retired paramedic and current children's church pastor. She openly shares her rich real-world experiences alongside deep spiritual insights in her writing. Her stories combine compassion, humor, and hope, reminding readers that faith can flourish in both everyday and extraordinary moments. April is best known for her Christian children's books, including the Popcorn series inspired by Psalm 23. But while writing Seven Spirits, she experienced something profoundly different-what she describes as a supernatural encounter with the Lord. The Holy Spirit guided and inspired every page, giving her glimpses of His heart and direction far beyond her own imagination. Through humor and deep spiritual insight, April aims to point readers to Christ, the true Author of her story. When she's not writing or editing, she's likely out in the backyard feeding chickens, sharing her knowledge with her grandkids, and jotting down her next God-inspired idea.
