As early as middle-school, I was interested in writing. I tried to write a novel titled, "That Boy Rik." It wasn't until after God delivered me from being a child abuser and also healed our dysfunctional marriage that I wrote for publication. First an article telling my story published in 1978, and then telling my story in a book published in 1984. Now, my 58th book was just published: "God's Intriguing Questions: 60 New Testament Devotions Revealing Jesus's Nature" co-written with my husband, Larry. We are parents, grandparents, writers, authors, speakers, and lay counselors. We've traveled the world speaking and ministering. We love sharing with others the hope and trust we can have in God who is faithful. We live in Southern California.
