Fiction Rooted in Biblical Truth
" I love to write suspenseful page-turners! Stories of flawed characters whose lives are transformed by the power of forgiveness."
Formerly an elementary school teacher and counselor, I embarked on a new career as an author of Christian Fiction after I retired. My concern for families suffering abuse and my passion for revealing the power of forgiveness in creating lives with hope for the future were the catalysts for writing my first novel, Runaways: The Long Journey Home.
In the last two years before I left teaching, I had a recurring dream. In it, a young boy was running away from a remote cabin in the dead of winter.
The dream happened so often, that I came to believe it was a story I was meant to write. So one day, I sat down in front of my computer and allowed my imagination to write the rest of the story. I was as surprised as anyone else as Jake’s story unfolded!
The writing bug caught me and bit hard.
Since then, I have written and published five more Christian Fiction novels, three interactive picture books, and short stories for two collections.
