Writer. Author. Storyteller. Photographer.

My greatest joy is serving the Lord and spending time with my family.  I am Mama to Jill and Daniel and Granna to four beautiful grandchildren. I serve in my church as a children’s Sunday School and Vacation Bible School teacher. 

 

Along with my writing and photography, I love spending time outdoors, gardening, and visiting farmers’ markets, and farms.  I spend many hours reading and enjoy browsing used bookstores and sales for children’s books and old books where past readers have shared their thoughts and notes in the margins and on empty pages. 

 

 

I worked first as a writer in journalism as a sports and features writer for a local newspaper in my hometown along with publishing articles in Stock Car Racing and All About Women Magazine. Recently I was honored to be asked to write a blog post for Faithfully Following Ministries blog.  My first children’s book, My Great Aunt Lena and the Communion Basket, Remembering Jesus was published in 2018 and my second children’s book, X-Marks the Spot is in production.  In 2020, I wrote and published a Christmas devotional, His Coming.
