What happens when storytelling becomes a bridge between culture, faith, and identity?

In this powerful episode of Murder, Mystery, & Mayhem Laced with Morality, I sit down with the incredible Edwina Perkins—award-winning author, editor, mentor, and fierce advocate for inclusive storytelling within Christian publishing.

With her highly anticipated debut novel, The Colors of Home, set to release, Edwina shares the heart behind her work—why representation matters, how stories can heal, and what it truly means to champion diverse voices with authenticity and grace.

As co-director of the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers Conference, Edwina has helped shape countless writers through mentoring moments and sensitivity guidance—ensuring stories are not only told, but told well.

✨ In this episode, we discuss:

• The inspiration behind The Colors of Home

• Writing across cultures with care and responsibility

• The importance of diverse voices in faith-based storytelling

• Her journey as an author, educator, and mentor

• And yes… a little mystery, meaning, and moral reflection along the way

When she’s not writing or coaching others, Edwina is soaking up her favorite role—being “Nona” to her two grandchildren 💛

This conversation is rich, thought-provoking, and one you don’t want to miss. Stay in touch with Edwina: https://www.edwinaperkins.com/
