I currently live in Salem, Missouri with my husband Paul, but I've lived in many different places. I grew up in Missouri, went in the Army and ended up in Germany twice and a bunch of different states, including Kansas, Illinois, Texas and, most recently, Hawaii. In November 2011, Paul and I moved to Missouri. Paul says it's because he got bored with the same weather day after day. Sunny and mid-80s with windward and mauka showers just wasn't interesting anymore!
While in Salem, Paul and I attend Salem Christian Church most Sundays, if we're not visiting other churches. Come and fellowship with us sometime!

My writing is a God-given gift. I started writing Seasons of Change in May 2009. As of July 2012, I have written eleven novels (with an twelfth book well on the way to completion) and self-published ten of them. God has also given me plots for more than two dozen other books, with a good start on quite a few of them. There is no way to do that much writing without God's annointing.
In addition to writing, I am also a teacher/speaker. I am available to speak on many topics:
- Anything about God and the Bible
- Finding and fulfilling your God-given dream
- Fiction as Discipleship
- And, of course, the Shepherd Series!
Contact me if you would like me to come to your event. |
