There really was not a moment. Writing is part of who I am. I’ve always loved words and storytelling.

I’ve always loved reading, but the characters didn’t reflect me. They didn’t tell my story, so I started writing the kinds of books I wanted to read.

I’m now a clinical social worker studying to get my doctorate. I’ve always wanted to help people. I’m a carer and a nurturer. It is important to me to bring attention to the trials and triumphs of survivors. It is my ministry and my way to bring attention and awareness. I use fiction as a way to help others heal.

My faith is everything to me. I want

Sometimes the scripture comes first and I write a story based on it. Other times the scripture comes after, but it just works out so well.

I get emails from readers who share it’s help them with their faith.

As a social worker and Christian it just comes as second nature to me.

It’s hard because we live in a secular world and I’ve gotten negative reviews. Sometimes readers want clean but I remind them that the Bible isn’t clean it’s real. I write real, relatable stories that talk about challenging topics. I always look at a challenge as an opportunity to learn and to teach.

God speaks to me. I get inspiration from every where. It can be a news story, an article or even an assignment for school. There’s a story in everything.

I love that story. She went through it but God is good. This particular story was created to bring awareness to sexual assault and why women don’t tell.

I have about nine to finish. There are two stand-alone novels that are almost ready for editing. Then there’s the rest of the Goode Love series. I have some spend offs.

Great. Battle Scarred Love has the most reviews of any book I wrote due to using your services.
