As a new author, I'm so excited to share both my journey and my stories with you.

My heart is to write fiction that encourages and uplifts—stories where hope and God's redemption shine through unlikely friendships and in unexpected places.

Through intimate, relatable storylines and moving (never preachy) messages, I want to offer you a front-row seat to the hope and redemptive hand of God at work in the lives of my characters.

My deepest prayer is that as you laugh with them, cry with them, and walk alongside them, you'll also be reminded that no life is ever beyond God's reach.

Because when it feels as though circumstances or past identities stand in the way of our destiny, it is then that God is showing He's ready to ignite His plan and purpose for our lives. All He asks is that we trust Him.

My days begin in devotion to Jesus. As a new follower (baptized in my 40s), I have come to love my quiet times in reflection with Him. My greatest desire is to serve Him well through my deepest regard for His people. Beginning with my husband, Steve, and my three college-age boys. Being a wife and mom is where I feel my greatest gratitude to God.

When I'm not writing or reading, I love being outdoors because I genuinely believe the hand of God is best seen in nature. Walking through our beautiful parks, playing sports like golf and pickleball, watching a sunset at our lake house in the Ozarks, or simply with a cup of coffee on my back patio at our home in St Louis Missouri.

Another passion that has taken root is...Mahjong! I will join a game whenever possible!! I'm trying Canasta but it isn't taking as big a root as the Mahjong craze.

I love cooking and doing anything creative!

Friendship and community fuels me and I love meeting new people.

I pray you find my stories grab you and keep you reading and I hope that we can connect and share how the awesome God we serve has stamped a heart in our lives.
