A Florida native, I'm a preacher's kid who grew up in church. My first memory is of giving my heart to Christ at the age of four. When I was ten, I watched a biography about Marco Polo for my fifth grade history class and decided then I wanted to accomplish two things in life: travel and write books.
Following the Lord’s leading, I earned a Bachelors degree in International Studies from the University of South Florida, and a Master of Theology from International Theological Seminary. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to visit forty-eight states and twenty-five countries, including a year spent teaching English in the People’s Republic of China.
Building on those experiences, I began writing in the fall of 2000. I love passionate stories with compelling, nearly impossible conflicts and have found Inspirational Historical Romance is the perfect vehicle to combine lush settings, vivid characters, and a Christian worldview.
A 2004 and 2007 Golden Heart winner, I’ve been privileged to win numerous writing contests sponsored by Romance Writers of America chapters around the U.S. and Canada. On November 15, 2007, I got “the call” and my dream of becoming a published author finally came true. My debut novel, The Heart Beckons, will be published by Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historicals in the fall of 2009.
Currently working on a sequel to The Heart Beckons, I still live in Florida, but I’m always planning my next trip...and plotting my next story.
Happy reading,
