✍️🏻 Random Facts about the Author ✍️🏻

Name: Michaela L. Carson

Who tagged you: Melissa Reeve - Author— thank you for the tag!

📝 Genre you write in: Christian non-fiction spiritual growth (published), poetry, fiction (unpublished)

📕 What year did your debut book come out: 2022

💼 What was your profession before becoming an author: I worked in Communications and Marketing

🎥 Favorite movie: Which genre!?! A couple of my top favorites: Steel Magnolias, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Top Gun: Maverick, National Treasure, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

💜 Favorite color: Well, my signature color for years was purple—wrote everything in purple ink. Then it just wasn’t. Now my favorite color to wear is blue, but my actual favorite color is a specific shade of teal I️ have yet to name.

👫 Are you a mom or dad: Mom! I have an incredible daughter and remarkable son-in-law. Also (not the question) brand new grandma. 👵🏼

🎓 Favorite memory from high school: Surrendering control to Jesus. It didn’t happen in my high school, but I️ was a freshman, so I’m pretty sure it counts!

🎧 Last song you heard: Um, my daughter was playing it… it was Tauren Wells, but I can’t remember which one.

🧂 Favorite food seasoning: So this is odd. Several years ago—maybe three—a Facebook friend posted a fundraiser for her kids. I’d never heard of the company so I browsed the options and bought something called “Rada’s Seasoning.” It’s incredible on so many things! This question made me drool, but, alas, we’re out of it. Google searched those two words and turns it out… I️ can buy it!! (It’s also apparently called Rada’s Burger & Fry Seasoning.)

🏞️ City or Country: mountaintop, so I️ guess that’s country? 🤷🏻‍♀️

⏱️ How long did you spend writing today: Zero minutes so far, but I’m hoping to self-edit a couple chapters.

🦮 Do you love animals? Some of them. Mostly my kids’ dogs, puppies, kitties… anything in a not fully grown form. Not a fan of reptiles.

📚 Favorite book series: oh, wow, this one’s tough. Loved Outlander and Harry Potter but my favorite two are probably the Mark of the Lion trilogy by Francine Rivers and The Circle trilogy by Ted Dekker

🗣️ A quote you think about: most of the ones I think about are from Scripture or a recent sermon.

💰 Did you sell a book today: I did not. But it's 10AM. There’s still time!

I wasn't sure I'd make it to this point! 😅

On the last day of April I told my writing coach that I would have all of my first round of self-edits done by May 31st. At that point I think I had only one or two chapters done. I started off alright, but my amazing grandson arrived on May 13th, and I was suddenly less interested in my manuscript... 👶🏼🥰👵🏻

Then, as I was working with a client this past week, something shifted. We were talking about different types of deadlines—those you set for yourself and those you get from your boss. In the midst of encouraging her obedience, I felt convicted for my disobedience. I know that the May 31st deadline was from the Lord. My boss has a timeline for this project, and I trust it. So...

I'll say it: Writing a book is like running a marathon in pajama pants—with snacks and occasional crying.

Sometimes the life of an author is complicated.

For example, when your publisher assures you that everything is correct with the book distributors, but for some unknown reason, The Zon is choosing 𝒏𝒐𝒕 to offer your paperback. Only your paperback.

If you're looking to get a paperback copy of 𝑫𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒓: 𝑨𝒏 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉 (and don't want to pay shipping), you can shop directly through my publisher's catalog:

Relationships are hard. They require effort and intentionality to be healthy and thriving. Yet we often view our relationship with God differently, thinking it should be easy and intuitive. The Bible teaches us that our faith is like a tree, and after years of struggling to grow in my relationship w

So, it's been quite a while since I announced book #2 in the 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 series. I'm deep in self-editing mode and wondering...

𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: I am a world-class procrastinator. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤫

But there are some things you just can’t keep putting off forever.

When I started my business back in 2023, I had big dreams, and my website was a place for all of them. A lot has changed since then—my coaching has grown, my community has expanded, I've released three new books—but that website? It still screamed 2023!

Since I'm working on my second book in the 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 series, I've finally accepted that it's time for my website to reflect all that God has done, too.

God led me to the amazing Whitney Pride, and I’m so excited to share the brand-new https://deeper-growth.com with you.

Now, everything is organized, updated, and—most importantly—you can find all of my 𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 books, coaching resources, and our community links in one easy place.
