edit data

Writing has always been my passion. After writing picture books for my children and mysteries for friends with teenagers, I finally found what I love writing the most—suspense books. As an avid reader, I felt the transition from reading to writing was a wonderful new experience, and I absolutely love the joy of pleasing others with words.

Living on a dairy farm, my husband and I raised three wonderful children. I feel so blessed to be able to write books and paint portraits at my home in the country, and I welcome the opportunity to help others find a close relationship with God. I strive to use those opportunities to honor Him and please Him with the talents He has given me.
