I write inspirational fiction. Having grown up loving westerns, the stories I write are clean, feel-good, Americana.
My first two books are set in the post-Civil War years and my third is a modern-day story of a woman facing the unexpected with the help of a man who’s been dead for 30 years and the small-town sheriff who buried him. I feature redemptive characters who face their struggles bravely.
My goal is to weave a tapestry of stories connected to a fictional Tennessee county called Marston with intersecting threads of place and family lines. Come go with me!

A few years ago I started a podcast called Gladness & Hunger where I interview guests to mine the magic of their vocational stories. It’s a great blending of my own vocational pursuits.
You see, I always wanted to be a writer when I grew up. I felt like God had given me the eyes, the ears, and the heart for it, but I lacked practical business savvy to know how to make it a reality.
Teaching students in a business college for 20 years has helped me gain important insights and continues to fuel my passion for equipping others. Let me inspire and equip you, too.
