My career as an inspirational fiction author started in November of 2008, with a little push from a friend and fellow author, I joined an internet contest called National Novel Writing Month, or, NaNoWriMo* as those addicted refer to it. The challenge is to complete a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. No editing, just raw, really raw, plotline. It was fun and I was hooked. My first published novel, Seasons of a Life, started as a NaNo story in 2009.
My faith is vital to me, and my writing. I write inspirational fiction and fantasy because, frankly, I can’t help myself. I have tried to write without the faith element and it’s next to impossible. I want my story to reflect faith and honest struggles. At times, it’s hard for my fingers to keep up with my brain.
If I'm not writing something, I'm reading a wide variety of fiction, nonfiction, theology and apologetics, to name a few. My favorite genres are, by far, science fiction and suspense.
Currently, I’m working on completing my Lakeville series. Lakeville is a fictional town in the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania.
