Naomi Reed is a Christian writer and speaker who grew up in Sydney and studied physiotherapy with her husband Darren. After working at Sydney hospitals, they spent six years serving in Nepal with the International Nepal Fellowship. During this time, Naomi worked at Green Pastures Leprosy Hospital and enjoyed fellowship at their local Nepali church. She also home-schooled their three sons and struggled through seven monsoons. At one point, fearing she may not make it through another 120 days of rain, she began to write. The months of typing by candlelight helped her to see God's purposes through different seasons and (somewhat surprisingly) became her first book, 'My Seventh Monsoon'. Back in Australia, 'My Seventh Monsoon' was warmly received and Naomi continued writing - firstly the sequel, 'No Ordinary View' (which won the ACBOY award, 2009) and 'Over My Shoulder' - a look at the impact of personality on cross-cultural mission.

Still enjoying first-person narrative, Naomi then turned her love of words to the creation of Biblical monologues, using the voices of women. She relished the opportunity to present the gospel in a fresh and personal way. A year later, 'The Promise' was released and its audio version followed as a 7 CD set. The presentation is profound and moving and Naomi regularly performs these monologues in churches and larger conventions. More recently, Naomi has seen the potential for growth in this ministry and has drawn together a larger performance group, known as 'Promise Me' (Naomi Reed, Melanie Grouse and Lyndal Mitchell). The group specialises in presenting the gospel through drama, personal story and Biblical narrative.

Naomi continues to write, speak, study, think and chase after her gorgeous family. She very rarely catches them.
