I’ve been a writer for a long time. Even before I wrote them down, I shared stories and loved to capture my audience. I saw their eyes dance with curiosity, heard them hold their breath in anticipation, and saw the satisfaction of a story well-told on their faces when I was done. And now I have stories in books that other people can hold! Three novels already published, one story compilation, and my latest, novel number four, releases April 19, 2019: Shine the Light.

This past year has been my most challenging physically with more pain and what feels like are fewer brains. Fatigue, my old nemesis, you will not win! And here I am trying to come up with a clever idea to let you lovely folks know I have a new book coming out.

I’m afraid this is as clever as I get right now: There’s this book I wrote. And I love the message of hope woven through it. I love Shannon, the main character, because she’s all heart and full of passion and fight for the underdog. No one is hopeless in her eyes! Well…maybe there’s one that’s hopeless.

This novel is full of suspense and challenging situations, and romance (of course!). And hard things happen. So she fights on–but will she win?

And I realize as I write that THIS is also my story and quite likely, yours, too. I live my life, good things and hard things happen, and I fight on. The best part is, our struggles never have to be futile because of Jesus and His mercy–He can turn all our sorrows to joy!

Here’s the new book-baby. You can pre-order it today by clicking HERE. If you enjoyed, Hold the Light, then you will love Shannon’s story in the sequel, Shine the Light. I promise.

Shannon is out to save the world one caring act at a time. She’s stood by her best friend, Amber, through their whole lives especially when Amber lost her sight. She has an active outreach ministry to the homeless and disenfranchised. And she’s even let down her guard long enough to let a boyfriend, Justin, into her life.

Her life has settled into a pleasing routine of teaching, freelance photography work, quiet dinners with Justin, and taking Amber on treks to find new subjects for her visionary paintings.

But when a man from her past shows up, her secure world crumbles into triggered PTSD episodes that threaten everything she relies on. Will she be able to overcome these old memories, or will her past crush any hopes she had for a future?
