Summer Kinard is a Greek Orthodox Christian writing in North Carolina. She rejoices to share her life with her iconographer husband and their five children. Summer holds an M.Div. (2003) and a Th.M. (2005, early church history and theology) from Duke University Divinity School, where she served as a T.A. from 2003-2007. She is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers guild, the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, the Southern Independent Booksellers Association, and the Heart of Carolina Chapter of Romance Writers of America. Her books seek to navigate tough human relationships by the light of faith, daily rituals such as tea and coffee, and the love of friends and family. Though her other books hold to those values, The Salvation of Jeffrey Lapin is her first novel written within an Orthodox framework.
