I quit work in 1999 to focus fulltime on my writing career. How the Lord has blessed me since that moment. I believe the most important thing a person needs before deciding to pursue a writing career is a spouse with a steady paycheck and a medical plan. Thanks to the Lord's provision and my #1 fan, my husband Ralph, I hit the ground running. In 2004 my first book, Streams of Mercy was published through Tsaba House. Since then I have published four more novels for the Christian market with a few more waiting in the wings. I recently signed with literary agent, Terry Burns, and believe some major changes are coming to my writing career. I'm going to shine in '09.

Writing was a dream of mine since I was just a kid scribbling in a notebook I hid behind my textbook during class. Reading was and still is my first love. I am currently looking for a job where someone will pay me to read books at my leisure. Since that isn't likely to happen, I'll keep writing and read as I find the time.

My husband and I have a blended family of three children and three grandchildren. We also share our home with a foreign exchange student from Japan and two rescue dogs, Angel and Molly. Since acquiring Angel, I have become a huge advocate of animal rescue and am always sneaking messages about the importance of animal rescue into my fiction.
