My key spiritual influence is undoubtedly the Holy Spirit. In regards to my key writing influences, I have to give props to my husband, who believed in me even when I wondered who'd want to read my work. I have also been blessed with friends and family who have been nothing but supportive and encouraging during this journey.
The following authors have blessed me more than they will ever know: Tiffany L. Warren, Yolonda Tonette Sanders, Victoria Christopher Murray, and Tawnia L. Ramirez.

Similar to novels such as Changing Faces by bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby (William Morrow/An imprint of Harper Collins Publishers 2006), and Tiffany L.

Joy Comes in the Mourning (2009)
A story of FAITH, FRIENDSHIP, and FORGIVENESS.
An inspirational debut novel about two women whose lives are knitted together by tragedy, Joy Comes in the Mourning encourages readers that God has purpose behind, presence during, and preservation after every storm that comes our way.
This truth is hard for fictional main characters, Tonya Monroe and Carolyn Wright to affirm when the storms of life rage and darkness threatens to overtake them. However, in the end, they realize that their only real hope is the grace and mercy of God.

I am a servant, wife, mother, daughter, friend, avid reader, inspirational fiction author and lupus survivor, who is committed to giving God glory through stories of hope and helping spread lupus awareness and further research for the cure.
I have always been a lover of the Word and written words. As a child, I loved to read and write, feeling even then that God had placed a call on my life to minister through the gift of writing. For birthdays of friends and family, I created homemade cards containing my original poetry. Their positive feedback was enough to fan the flame that is my desire to give God glory through stories.
I am currently a member of the Lupus in Color Foundation and the American Christian Fiction Writers organization (ACFW). It is my desire, through my writing, to be a light before men. Drawing from my own past experiences of depression, rejection, and loneliness, my message is of the pursuit of holiness and happiness that can only be reached by following the perfect example - the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is my belief that the true test of your faith is not just that you believe, but that you have the willingness and ability to trust God EVEN WHEN darkness threatens to overtake you. EVEN WHEN the winds are blowing so hard that you can't catch your breath! EVEN WHEN it gets so dark that you can't see your way. EVEN WHEN the downpour comes and there seems to be no shelter from the rain. EVEN THEN...TRUST and BELIEVE because God, who promises never to leave you nor forsake you, is right there in the midst of your storm. Right there!
