Always

For me, this is a leap of faith -- praying that God will help me fly.


For almost as long as I can remember, I have wanted to write. I know that sounds cliche', but I'm really one of those people who grew up knowing that I wanted to be an author. Not a journalist, like so many writers. An author. A full-blown, Christian fiction--historical romance--author.

I've always loved books. Weekly, my mom used to put me in the stroller from ages 3-5 and we would go down a block or three to the public library. I'd have story time there and then we'd leave with a stack of books--the maximum they'd let us take, of course!

My first memory of writing was in second grade, when my beloved teacher (to whom I'll be forever grateful) asked us to write a story. Mine was a three-page manuscript---more pictures than words---about my friend H.T. and me. I tell you what, from the first writing prompt, I was hooked! I totally got into it.  There was exposition, rising action, a climax, and a resolution. Though tiny, it was a complete story! I even loved the editing process. I remember conferencing with my teacher and learning new things like using quotation marks and starting new paragraphs for new thoughts.

......... I have changed career directions several times in my life, but I have never forgotten my real love. I want to write Christian fiction full time. I want to touch lives the way God touches mine.

Publishing, for me, is still a dream.... rather, I should say it's a goal that is not yet realized. I'm working the plan, going toward that dream, and I'd like to invite you to join me. Learn as I learn, experience as I experience. I'll keep you posted all the way!
