I love happily-ever-afters, pointing others toward God, and encouraging others to flex their creative muscles. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, so I write in three genres: Christian romance, Christian living, and children's books with a twist.

My Christian living book, "Enoch Walked with God: And you can too" was a Kindle best-seller (top 100) in all three of its categories for at least time for the first 2.5 months it was out.

Washed as White as Snow

When God created the world, everything was perfect. When Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, it disrupted God’s perfect order. Not only did sin and death enter, but all other forms of disorder and chaos.

We became dirty.

To get into Heaven, we must be holy, as God is. Because of sin, though, no one is holy (Romans 3:23).

God loves us too much to leave us in our dirtiness, our sin (happy Valentin

A fun, sweet read. I love cowboy books! However, there several spots where I feel like details were skipped or the scenes were rushed.
