About Me

My favorite pastime is to curl up in my rocker with a good novel, a blanket and a cup of hot tea. The thought of selling books–Christian books–never entered my mind fifteen years ago. But one summer evening, a visit from two friends changed not only my thoughts but my life when they asked me, “Do you want to buy a bookstore with us?”

After a year of preparation, I left my counseling job and sold Christian books for five years. We later moved to Florida where I worked as a social worker and then as a real estate agent. But I wasn’t satisfied and felt God calling me to do something else.

My husband finally suggested I find an occupation that I could be passionate about. Clearly, real estate and I had not bonded. “Maybe I could write?” I said, since I'd written journals since I was fifteen. But I couldn’t believe those words came from my mouth. Soon, my first story was published in a mother's magazine.

Have you felt a similar call?

My blog is a place where I share the ups and downs on the road to publication. I'll be brutally honest and I promise I won't leave anything out. Hopefully, you will laugh and cry with me as we figure out this writing experience together.

I post twice a week unless something awesome occurs in the meantime. Then of course, I will let you know.

I hope you'll enjoy your visits with me. Please email with any questions I might not cover here. My goal is to share and help other writers as so many have helped me.
