Author / Educator

Writing is my passion. I have been writing since I was six years old, both professionally and just for fun. My dream has always been to be a published novel-writer. However, like so many of us, I put that dream on hold for a few years while I raised my two precious children. Now that they are grown, though, I feel an ever-increasingly strong tug to get published.  As a Christian, I believe that tug is God telling me to get off my duff and start using the talent He gave me. So I am doing just that.  Eventually, this website will be about the books I've published (hopefully).  But until then, I will be sharing with you my journey to get there.

​

I would love to send you my e-newsletter every 6-8 weeks with updates on my journey, tips for other unpublished writers, giveaways and contests, and articles I find interesting (and hope you will, too).  Just sign up for my e-newsletter at the bottom of this page, and I'll send you my most recent one.

Happy Easter! Will and I are celebrating Easter this year in Cancun. We enjoyed our visit last time with our close friends, Connie and Jef Amado. God has blessed us richly with this fun-loving, serving, and spiritual couple.
