Writing to Entertain… and to Inspire.
I am a passionate fiction writer and aspiring author seeking to glorify my Creator and bless others with the gift of creativity He gave me. Like the sparrow, His eye is always on me.
My specialty is writing romantic suspense and thrillers and I dabble in mystery as well, but I don’t limit myself to one genre or another when it comes to creating stories to touch and impact others.

Twelve-year-old Beth Clark and her younger brother Otto face each new day not knowing when the next assault will occur, only that it will be at the hands of the people who are supposed to love them the most. Beth strives each day to survive while being the brightest, most compassionate person she can be, caring for Otto and herself. From the house down the block, Marg and Frank Jones see what is happening and want to save the Clark children from the daily hell they live in but find it’s harder than it should be to get the social system and law enforcement to cooperate. Will Marg and her family succeed in helping Beth and Otto before they fall through the cracks like many before them?
Ashes Trilogy
The Ashes Trilogy begins with From Sackcloth and Ashes (formerly titled Ashes of Injustice), the manuscript I am currently editing and hope to see published soon. From Sackcloth and Ashes:
In 2009, law enforcement declared Bible college co-ed Maggie Belanger died from suicide. Fifteen years later, unanswered questions and faltering faith compel her fiancé, Will Endicott, on a dangerous pursuit of the truth involving a serial killer who hides in plain sight. Together with Maggie’s sister Faith, they face life-threatening circumstances and the suspicious deaths of key witnesses in their quest. Will they survive long enough to uncover what truly happened to Maggie and prevent future deaths?

Controversy
I don’t shy away from controversial topics in the stories and novels I write.
I deal with real-life issues that trouble our world today like the various forms of abuse people inflict on each other, including domestic, narcissistic, and sexual abuse. I also discuss divorce, substance abuse, human trafficking and other issues that appear in our newsfeeds and on the television daily. I try to look at ever issue with the compassion of Christ, and the solution He offers to these troubles in our world. My novels promote love, not hatred. Understanding, not ignorance. I encourage my readership to respectfully interact with me about what I write in the comments section of every blog post. However, I will not tolerate hatred or animosity directed toward individuals or myself.
