I'm so thrilled you stopped by my home on the web. If you're a lover of books, any sort of creative (especially a writer!), a born again Christian, obsessed with good fiction, or even simply love to read books and blog posts, let me OFFICIALLY welcome you! As I pursue this novelists journey, I'm honored to have this space to connect with each and everyone who needs a slice of ease, words, and encouragement.

​

Hop over to the blog for pourings of words on most all topics, such as: history, book reviews, writing updates, and my learnings as life happens. Check out the 'About' section to learn a little bit more about me, or view my current published works under 'Works'. (Devotionals, a previous column, and some short fiction! Hopefully full length to come soon . . .)

​

After looking around, connect on any of my socials. I'd love to chat over history, your favorite books, historical time periods, writing, reading, and the blessings of life in general!
