My most recent book is "Stripping and Baking Cookies". It's a book of at home date night ideas for married couples. I got the idea from a Christian mom group I'm in. Lots of women would post looking for at home date night ideas and I noticed they mostly got the same few suggestions. With the pandemic not many people could get out for date nights. So I saw a need for a bigger variety of at home date ideas and I just went with it.

That's a fascinating question! There hasn't been a lot of "mystery" in my life... But I have had some pretty mysterious experiences with elderly people who were close to passing away. It has almost seemed like those close to death know more than they should. Lol. My great grandma seemed to know I wasn't going to be able to attend the college I'd had my heart set on. And a woman from my church somehow knew my unborn child was a boy before we did. I've always wondered if those closer to heaven can sense things others can't. That definitely might make for an interesting new book!

Ooo... so tough. But really I tend to just write when an idea comes to me and I try not to force myself to write outside of being in the mood to. I figure if I force it... readers will be able to tell.

I get to spread Gods love and truth through stories and adventures that captivate and entrance. The excitement I get from reading a good book... I get to produce that in others. How awesome a feeling is that?

You know, don't let anyone tell you that you can't first of all. And do it your way. If you fall in love with the story someone else will too. Don't add fluff or extras or change things to please others. It's your book. Just go for it!

Okay spoiler alert? I'm going a little out of my element and working on a little sci-fi number... 👀

Honestly an idea will just pop into my head and I just have to write it down!
