In 2011, Edranel released her first self-published book, “WARNING… Could This Be You?“, in Baraboo, Wisconsin. This powerful spiritual memoir features her personal testimony of transformation and healing through Christ. The book’s message has reached more than 292,000 readers worldwide, challenging and inspiring individuals with its bold and counterintuitive yet effective insights.

In 2024, Edranel took a bold step into public service by running for a seat on the Baraboo School Board in Wisconsin. Though she did not win the election, receiving 1,233 votes was a significant achievement and a testament to her desire to make a difference in her community. The experience reaffirmed her passion for writing and ministry, steering her further toward her God-given calling.
Today, Edranel continues to embrace her many roles as a wife, mother, writer, and servant of Christ while remaining grounded in her mission to uplift others through faith, storytelling, and personal connection. Her journey exemplifies resilience, obedience to God’s will, and the power of using one’s life story as a vessel for hope, healing, and transformation.
