About the      Author

Welcome to all readers!

I’m a writer of 21 books and counting. I’m a mother of four, a wife of one, a mother-in law of two, and a grandmother of the cutest baby girl on the planet (aside from everyone else’s grandchildren, of course). I wear hats when my hair is dirty and would spend all year in a sweater if the weather would cooperate. Right now, it isn’t.

It’s my belief that we all need to be known by someone, because we all have something to give that someone else needs.I’m not much of a talker, but I write loudly. My written words are my way of trying to understand humanity—each hopeful heart, hurting soul, wounded body, and neglected spirit. More than anything, I strive to understand. And books will forever be my attempt to do it.If you read them, I hope you’ll find parts of yourselves somewhere in the pages. I hope you’ll feel understood, at least a little bit. 

 

I see you, I care, and I’m glad you’re here. <3

The building blocks of a story

I’m a former apologizer of taking up space and still struggle with it at times, even when I try hard not to. But books are the one area in my life where I won’t apologize. I write what I want, how I want, when I want, on whatever subject matter I want. When I die and other than my children, these books are what I’ll leave behind. Writing is how I process life, how I learn about myself and others. Someone once asked me if anyone really knew the real me. I’m a guarded person, so at the time I wasn’t sure how to answer. Now I am sure. I’m inside all the pages you see here. If you read them, you’ll read me. If you crack one open, you’ll crack a part of me open, too. Vulnerability is tough for me, except here.
