About Me

I was born and raised in Southern California and now living in Orange County, CA. I am married to my patient and supportive husband, Phil, who encourages me in my writing endeavors, even when a writing binge means I forget to make dinner or finish the laundry. He is my rock and best friend, and one of the greatest joys of my life. We have four grown children, who love and serve God, and six beautiful grandchildren scattered in three different states, which means we contrive any way we can to earn more Southwest miles. I homeschooled for 24 years, while volunteering as children’s church director for 15 years. Since 2008 I have been our church’s women’s ministry director.

My love of writing began as a young girl of eight or nine with short stories and simple poems. In high school I combined two of my favorite things, writing and sports, and tried my hand at sports journalism. While home-schooling and as children church director, I wrote curriculum and short children’s stories. I wrote poems for every event and occasion imaginable. I always loved to write, but now my writing has specific purpose: to glorify God and to draw others to Himself. My desire is that whatever poem I write or story I tell, the reader will be immersed in God’s truth, maybe see Him in a new light, and along the way, be filled with compassion, gripped with sorrow, hung in suspense, or overcome with laughter as each chapter unfolds.
