Hello and Welcome!

“If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.”

                                                                                           -Martin Luther

I don’t think I had changing the world in mind when I wrote my first book. All six or eight pages complete with illustrations in neon highlighter pens. The result was a stunning work of fiction to my six-year-old eyes. I have as yet received no publishers clamoring at my door for the right to publish it.

As I grew older, my stories grew longer. I tried several genres until I finally fell in love with Romantic Comedy. For me, a good book is like a recipe. A little sweet. A little snarky. And a whole lot of hope and fun.

So if you like books that make you smile, take you somewhere new, and lead you closer to the Lord, I hope you’ll follow my blog and writing journey.

I’d love to hear from you!

Confessions of a Book Lover

Whenever I go thrifting with my mom, we both tell each other that we do not need any more books. We will avoid the books. We have too many books. (Can one have too many books?) Filled with good intentions, that resolution lasts until we enter a store and spot the enticing spines lined up… Continue reading Confessions of a Book Lover

Of Shepherds and Wise Men

When God selected those who would be mentioned as the visitors to His newborn Son, He could not have chosen two more different groups. First, He chose the shepherds. “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.” Luke 2:8. In this time in history,… Continue reading Of Shepherds and Wise Men

To Write a Wrong Review

A few years ago I was at my first American Christian Fiction Writer’s conference. I had traveled with a friend and arrived early as she was attending the early bird meeting. After offering to help with registration, I began to walk around and try to look like I belonged. Too early to check in to… Continue reading To Write a Wrong Review

Sweets and Stress

I am not entirely sure who first pointed out that stressed was desserts spelled backward. Anyone with a sweet tooth can point to this unsub (yes, I have been watching mystery shows during quarantine) and say thank you for providing us all with the perfect excuse for eating cakes, cookies, and everything else most likely… Continue reading Sweets and Stress

Of Names and Mysteries

Delbert. Who was he? I didn’t know much about him or the other people whose names graced the pages of the books that weigh more than my cat. She, ahem, is not particularly slim. As a title-abstractor-in-training, I am growing accustomed to all that it is involved in tracing a piece of property’s history. The… Continue reading Of Names and Mysteries

The Word Not Chosen

Like most people, I am starting 2020 with multiple plans to start the new year right — and a plethora of highly silly jokes about having perfect vision because it is the year 2020. Sadly, I still need glasses and life doesn’t come with a ten-step program of the exact correct thing to do. One… Continue reading The Word Not Chosen

A Short Devotional When God selected those who would be mentioned as the visitors to His newborn Son, He could not have chosen two more different groups.
