Vermilion Parish’s Katri Brasseaux wrote a book of short stories and poems titled “God Writes in Short Stories.”
The writer was raised in Henry and currently lives in Abbeville.
The book has 17 short stories and nine poems. Certain stories are true, and other stories are fictional. It was published through Christian Faith Publishing in January of 2022.
“I had a dream to write a book,” said Brasseaux.
She started writing 30 years ago and wrote about personal experiences with God.
