What drives this Author?

Faith – my firm belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to this world to bridge the gap between God and man is not just part of something I believe. I live it to the best of my ability. “This is more than a Sunday thing.”

Fiction – I love fiction. I’ll read almost any novel if I have time. That’s why I chose to write fiction over non-fiction. When I found other authors drop biblical truths in the middle of a story to minister to the reader in an unassuming way, I said, “I want to be part of that.” So, here I am, sharing the heart of Christ through works of fiction.

When you read my books or my blogs, I hope that you will see the impact my faith in Christ has had on my life and my writing. Each time my fingers hit the keyboard, my singular goal is for the reader to get a glimpse of God’s grace, beauty, and unfailing love without feeling like they are being preached at. My characters live their faith; it isn’t lip service to them. As our own lives should be. I also want readers to be entertained safely without worrying about reading something that will cause them to falter in their Walk.

So, if you’ve read this far, thank you for letting me into your time and hearing the heart of this crazy author.

I appreciate you. Be blessed.
