I woke up this morning so drained. It was finally Saturday, and I'd planned to sleep in. Not wake up before the sun. I lay in bed, trying to convince my brain to go back to sleep but it was having none of it, determined instead to go through the week that was. The ups,… Continue reading Just What I Didn’t Want to Hear

While I’ve written characters with mental illnesses before (Alina and Evangeline specifically), Lady Rose in Hold Her Close is the first I’ve written with a chronic or physical illness. She has what would these days be known as endometriosis, though it was very much an unknown back in the middle ages. Would it have caused… Continue reading What I Wish People Knew about Having a Chronic Disease
Like my previous books, Hold Her Close starts with a psalm. Unlike my previous books, I’m finding it really hard to share this one. Mostly because I’m not there yet, and sharing something like this when so often I fall short in my own life feels so hypocritical. I mean, Christian authors are supposed to… Continue reading My Daughter, I see you
Twenty years ago, I went on my first short term mission trip to an orphanage in Thailand. Ten years ago, I wrote a novel based on it. This week, 15 May 2024, that story is being published. Talk about a journey! But this story goes back further than that—to when I was just a kid,… Continue reading The Story Behind the Story
It's been a few days now and I still can't find words to sum up what it meant to be there in person and watch Fidele Youth Dance Company bring my book to life on stage. I don't think I ever will, but I'll do my best. To be honest, I wondered many times before… Continue reading Fidele Youth Dance Company Bring Her Home (attempted) Show Reflection
I don’t know about the rest of you but life has seemed pretty overwhelming these past few years. My normal coping mechanisms have flown out the window with the pace of it all (and things well out of my control… here’s looking at you worldwide pandemic), and I’ve been left floundering. And where I’d normally… Continue reading I Have Heard Your Cry
The hardest part of Bring Her Home to write wasn’t the cutting but what led to it. Not because I couldn’t picture it but because I could.While I don’t have physical scars like Eva, her fight is mine. The daily battle to keep going, keep fighting, keep choosing the truth when it’s so much easier… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – Don’t Give Up
Bring Her Home is inspired by Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son (found in Luke 15:11-32) and while it’s mostly Evangeline’s story (ie, ‘the prodigal’), it’s also very much the story of a father’s grace and incredible love. Growing up in a Christian family where my second home was our church, I’ve heard the Prodigal… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – Grace and the Prodigal
Like Eva in Bring Her Home, I want people to think I have it all together. That I’m strong, and confident, and unshakeable every hour of every day, no matter what life throws at me. Part of that comes from fear that they’d walk away if they knew the truth, part comes from pride and… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – The Stained-Glass Window
