My life is not at all like the blank pages above, but full and busy with writing inspirational historical fiction and raising a family. I have been writing seriously for a number of years now, but have wanted to be an author since the fifth grade when my teacher wrote, "I hope to see you as a published authoress," on one of my papers. I was hooked.

Now I'm about to have my first novella, "Under His Wings" published in the anthology "A Log Cabin Christmas". Wow! I'm proud to be represented by my wonderful agent, Tamela Hancock Murray of the Steve Laube Agency.

When I'm not busy writing, I enjoy reading, especially historical romance. You can also find me working in my garden, walking my black lab, Kylie, or swimming laps at a local pool when I have spare time.

My wonderful husband of twenty-two years and I make our home in the beautiful Wisconsin countryside with our three children. We adopted our sixteen year old son from Vietnam when he was an infant, our eleven year old daughter from Korea when she was an infant, and our nine year old special needs daughter from the Philippines when she was five. They certainly keep me going! The greatest love in my life is my Lord Jesus. I pray that my writing, as well as my entire life, will be to his honor and glory alone.
