I'm a novelist that writes Christian fiction. Most of my sales have been in the romance genre both historical and contemporary. I've also had a romantic suspense novel as well as a suspense novel, Fighting for Bread & Roses. I've had 21 titles published and am currently working on a Romantic Suspense proposal as well as a historical woman's fiction series.
I live in North Central, Florida in a small town called Keystone Heights. When we moved here there was one traffic light. Today, we have two, so we're a growing town. My husband is the senior or lead pastor of Friendship Bible Church. I co-founded American Christian Romance Writers, now known as American Christian Fiction Writers, and served as it's president and on the advisory committee.
My greatest pride and joy is my family. We have three children, all married, and eight grandchildren.
