In January 2014, Brown’s life was altered after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. She began blogging on Facebook (Healthy Living with Nikki Brown) as a way to cope with her new illness and as a way to inspire other woman dealing with chronic pain. The more Nikki blogged, the more she realized that she was destined to write Christian books.
Brown, originally born as Olivia Harris, is originally from Eustis, FL. She moved to Tampa to attend the University of South Florida where she earned a bachelor’s degree in English. She currently lives in Valrico, FL where she is a sixth grade Language Arts teacher, a wife, and a mother of two children.

Candace Edwards Has Second Book Published
In her second testimony book, His Grace is Sufficient: Seeing God’s Strength in Weakness, Edward expresses how God uses His divine strength in her own weaknesses to bring glory to Him. She incorporates Biblical characters and their redemptive stories to exemplify God’s grace despite their flaws. Edward understands that readers are often on the go, which does not give them a lot of time to read, so she transformed the first published book I Have a Story to Tell: Seeing God’s Faithfulness through My Life into a 2 disc audiobook.
In the audiobook, Edward expresses how God’s faithfulness carried her through many trials and triumphs following her divorce. Both books are available through, the author, Amazon.com, and at the Hillsborough County Public Library.

Visit Of International Centennial Pilgrim
Saint Anne Parish received a visit from the Alliance of the Holy Family International the end of March, during the Parish’s Lenten Observance. The International Centennial Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Fatima was displayed during this visit. There are only six of these precious statues in the world, all of which were made in Fatima. This celebration was in honor of Our Heavenly Mother Mary who appeared 100 years ago in Fatima, Portugal on the 13th of every month from May through October to three peasant children. Fatima’s enduring message is for world peace through prayer. This year, the Parish will go on a Pilgrimage to Fatima from April 24 through May 5.
Saint Anne Catholic Church is located at U.S. Hwy. 41 and 11th Ave., N.E. in Ruskin. For more information about the Parish, visit SaintAnneRuskin.org.
