The Author

Meet Serena

A storyteller shaped by faith, grace, and the beauty of ordinary moments.

Serena Mauldin, author

Serena Mauldin is a Christian fiction author whose stories live at the intersection of faith and the everyday; the moments where grace shows up unexpectedly, where forgiveness feels impossible, and where love quietly persists.

Serena's debut novel, Grappling with Grace, was born out of her own journey: seasons of doubt, surrender, and the slow, steady work of healing. She writes the kinds of stories she once needed to read: honest and gritty, but yet warm and full of hope that doesn't look away from the hard things.

She believes every story, told with truth and grace, has the power to change heart, and she intends to write many of them.

When she's not writing, Serena can be found with traveling, spending time with her husband, at the gym, and with a grateful heart for the life God has restored unto her.

Faith & Writing

Why I write

"Instead of your shame, you will have a double portion; instead of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share. So they will possess double in their land, and eternal joy will be theirs."

— Isaiah 61:7

Faith and God's grace are not a backdrop in Serena's stories: they are the heartbeat. She writes because she believes words carry weight, that a sentence read at the right moment can shift something deep inside a person. Her prayer for every reader is simple: that they would finish her books feeling seen, known, and a little more hopeful than when they began.
