Writing & Fiction

I write contemporary women’s fiction and Christian fiction about the supernatural and unseen things of God in our everyday lives. Think of an angel helping a divorcee. Now click HERE for that story! Sometimes, my writing falls into the subgenre of Christmas fiction, which I adore! You can check out my page, Christmas Beginnings, to find out why.

I also write devotions because I love encouraging others to look for God and cling to Him during their struggles. Like sowing seeds, I’ll plant those hopeful truths at various times on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I also share them here on my website.

Currently, I’m seeking representation/publication for my collection of Christmas novellas, Heavenly Things: Three Contemporary Christmas Novellas. “Especially Now” is included in this collection, which won the 2020 ACFW Genesis contest in the novella category.

I can share a little about that award-winning novella and my semi-finalist novel, Life to the Full, which was “short” before I revised it! You can also check out a few of my short stories by clicking on the links at the bottom of this page. Happy reading!

“Especially Now”

A Novella

Briar doesn’t know if she’s dying or already dead since she’s never died before. But when she finds herself in a hospital bed after rushing to buy a pair of pantyhose to wear to her husband’s office Christmas party, she wonders not only if she survived the car accident but about the little boy wearing a hospital gown who plops down beside her.

As she tries to help him find his own room, she discovers there is more to this little stranger than she first realized. And when she opens the hospital doors and sees moments of her past playing before her like a movie, she discovers there is more meaning to her own life than she ever dreamed.

Life to the Full

A Novel

When Brooklyn Moretti finds herself evicted, unemployed, and alone, she blames Jesus and a pair of gloves from a homeless man for her undoing.

Without any money or a place to stay, her only option is to move in with an unusual family of believers who offer her a couch to sleep on, opportunities to serve those in need, and their faith.

Will Brooklyn learn the truth about God and discover His purpose for her life?  Or will she resent Him for her past and miss His touch in her life?
