Heidi Dixon Kwon lives in Erie, PA with her hunky husband and feisty Beagle. As a hobby — and for sanity — she writes about her processes in her blog, inkandalabaster.blogspot.com, and aspires to be a signpost for others to seek identity in Christ. Heidi loves sweet coffee, tans easily, is a morning person and can eat her weight in olives.
