Revealing an Extraordinary God in Ordinary Life
I'm so glad you stopped by.

        Welcome!



Thanks for visiting. I'm so glad you're here! I'd love to share a bit about who I am - my faith, my writing journey, and the things that matter. And I'd love to hear about what matters to YOU.

So grab a cup of cocoa (go ahead - throw on some extra chocolate shavings!), put your feet up and let's chat.

 

Faith
is about stepping into the unknowns of life, knowing that God has my back. I'm that toddler who will launch headlong into trouble with eyes wide open, who will act first and think second. That toddler who needs a firm, encouraging hand to keep me from calamity (or just myself). "Thank God" is, I think, my life's motto because I do it all the time!


Family and Friends are what make life sweet - sweeter even than the chocolate I love! I have a wonderful husband, 2 fabulous kids and a wonderful son-in-law, three siblings whom I'm close to and fantastic in-laws. Family just doesn't get any better than what I've been blessed with. And friends? Ladies I've known for more decades than I care to admit, and new writing friends who have been a surprise blessing in my life.

Inspirational Fiction is what I write - stories that reveal an Extraordinary God at work in ordinary lives. Stories about defeat and hope, pain and joy, friends and enemies. And always, the guy gets the gal (or maybe the gal gets the guy!). My stories will make you laugh, cry and believe that good will win (eventually), that there's power in love and strength in friendship. I believe in happy endings because I believe in the power of God!


So there's a little about me. When you've finished checking out my site, I hope you'll drop me a note. I want to know - What matters to YOU?
