I have written my story in A Life Set Free. It is a story of my healing from abandonment and brokenness -- to seeing the beauty of God's power through a life surrendered to God. Click here to order A Life Set Free.
My Author Story
​
I am a curious author who loves exploring different themes and motifs. As part of my writing process, I love immersing myself in my projects—diving into the research, culture, production, and fine-tuning of the stories I feel are most worthy of telling. For example, writing three historical fiction romance novels led to an extensive study of the Oregon Trail so I learned so much it seems like I've been there. It's amazing when a character I write about feels so real you almost expect them to walk into the room.

What Lies Ahead
I am excited about the women who will be transformed, encouraged, and blessed by Broken to Beautiful. Creating this course changed me ~ it took me out of a sad, dark place and brought me into a beautiful place of peace and trusting God more ~ so I'm looking forward to seeing what He will do in other's lives.
​
Currently, I am working on two books. Abandoned to Adored is a book that follows Abi's journey from the Orphan Train to a life more amazing than she could ever have imagined. Beauty for Ashes, is Rose's story. Although difficult to write, it tells the story of a woman’s betrayal and her path to healing. It is a narrative I feel compelled to write as I believe it will resonate with and encourage many readers.

Following God has been such an incredible adventure I'm excited to see His plans unfold.
