At forty plus I found what I was destined to be when I grew up...a writer. When an unforeseen illness hit and physically stopped me in my tracks, I had the gift of time. Out of sheer boredom, I decided to write one of the many stories that danced in my head. I was astonished at the depth, emotion and fulfillment I found in writing fiction. My imagination took flight and there has been no turning back. Words haunt the portals of my mind, ever-beckoning. They ferment and brew, then spill upon the pages with the tap, tap, tap of my keyboard. I bring to you a piece of myself in each book of fiction, non-fiction, each blog, each devotional. My prayer is that you will find a resounding message of love and hope…where the hurt and the Healer (Jesus Christ) collide.
