Welcome to my home away from home, my place in the virtual stratosphere. I'm so glad you took the time to stop by.

In college, I had a creative writing professor that gave me a lot of encouragement. On one of my papers, he wrote, “There is no reason why you should not publish, and publish often.” Coming from him, a real-life published author, this was high praise and it gave me the courage to dream that someday, people other than my family might actually be interested in my scribblings.

The life of a writer is wonderful, crazy, fulfilling, frustrating, a blessing, and a real patience-builder! Over the years, I've racked up my fair share of rejections. I've also sold short stories to magazines, written devotions, Sunday School curriculum, and skits for Concordia Publishing House. I moved into the realm of full-length fiction with my first novel, The Love of His Brother (November 2007) Now, after what seems like an eternity of waiting, my second book - The Pastor's Wife - is finally hitting shelves. Visit my Bookshelf to get all the details, including a sneak peak at the first three chapters. If you want to know more about my upcoming speaking and book signing events, those are on the What's New page.
