The Story Behind the Button Boxes with Temple Kinyon

Published: March 3, 2023, 2 p.m.

Button boxes have buttons, and each individual button has a story to share. This was the concept that inspired Temple Kinyon to write her first Middle Grade Magical Realism novel, with historical settings. Listen in as she and I talk about the inspiration behind the book, her freelance writing and how God initially called her to be a Kingdom writer.\nTemple Kinyon is a freelance writer currently living in Las Vegas. She spent her first three decades of life appreciating \u201csmall-town America,\u201d growing up on an Idaho wheat farm. Her dream of becoming a published author came to fruition when she left her career of event planning jumped in as a contributing writer for BLVDS LV Magazine, where she also served as an assistant editor. She self-published her first book, The Button Boxes, in 2019, and is currently co-authoring with the University of Idaho president The University President\u2019s Crisis Handbook: How a non-traditional president at the University of Idaho took the institution from near insolvency, a global pandemic, and an internationally followed capital crime to prosperity and sustainable success. She\u2019s almost finished co-authoring her dad\u2019s memoir about his life as an Idaho farmer. Her fiction and non-fiction contributions have appeared in Home & Harvest Magazine and Idaho Grain Magazine.\nConnect with Temple at the following links:\nhttps://www.templekinyon.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/TempleKinyonWrites\nhttps://www.instagram.com/justanidahogirl/\nSubscribe to my newsletter by filling out the form at the top of my homepage at: https://annwritesinspiration.com for a free copy of this template and some other freebies I have on my site for email list subscribers.\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com and use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.\nSupport this podcast with a monthly donation by visiting:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\nor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
