Vivian Probst’s writing life began during her successful, thirty-three

year national consulting career and led to an award-winning novel

(Death by Roses), a four-book fictional series, two non-fiction works,

a coloring story for chronically unhappy people, and work on a

screenplay she hopes to turn into a movie. So far… How on earth does

one accomplish all of that in one lifetime?

“By saying ‘YES’ to your crazy ideas”, she insists. “Tell the truth. Follow your

bliss-your sometimes tortured, wacky characters, your dreams, your insights. Let

these talk  to you and write down what you see, think, feel. It will amaze you!”

 

Raised in a conservative religious society with an emphasis on missionary work, Probst ended up

in Senegal, West Africa before Life got her attention and led her down a different path. “It takes courage to step away from the beliefs you were raised to follow,” she says. “But part of growing up is telling the truth.”

Probst’s life changed dramatically. She found her true work as a national consultant to the affordable housing industry with her ‘You Make A Difference’ message. Then came the stories. Each one, a different theme with a message that excavated more awareness with humor, drama, and truth all wrapped in fantasy. And these are still coming.

Probst believes that each of us comes into the world with a spark of divine energy. “Following that spark leads to genuine joy and fulfilling purpose.”

Vivian Probst lives with her husband on an island in Wisconsin (you read that right), close to their five children and twelve grandchildren. Her current interests include health and fitness, brain science, travel, writing, and yes, making a difference every day.
