Professionally, I’m a writer and teacher. I’ve written five books (and am currently working on book #6!), both fiction and nonfiction. Secrets in the Castle Library released in September of 2026, and the first two books in the series, Love in the Castle Library and Christmas in the Castle Library, are both two-time award winners. If you love Jesus and royal stories, these books will be right up your alley!

The Path to Peace came out in 2022 and is a Biblically-rich devotional. My first book, Still Waiting, is a spiritual memoir where I share my story (it’s tender but hopeful–and my prayer is that it will encourage you in your own waiting on the Lord).

Two of my deepest joys? Getting to speak to women across the country (I’d love to come to your women’s event or retreat!), and teaching Christ-centered writing courses for writers of all stages through my ministry, Writing with Grace. After teaching at the university level for five years, I love getting to pour into fellow writers and help them write their own stories beautifully and powerfully.

If we were sharing a pot of tea, I’d love to hear your story and share some of mine. Since we can’t do that, I hope you’ll be encouraged by parts of my story in the podcast and radio interviews below.

Over and above everything else, my heart is to write and speak about the Truest Story and the Author of that Story, our Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope that your time here will point you to him–with joy and hope!
