The author enjoys the meticulous research involved in creating historical fiction. She is especially excited when lesser-known historical facts come together to form a framework for a new story.

These interests inspired Faith to create a series of historical adventure novels designed for young adult readers, entitled the JMP Mystery Series. Psychic teens Jinx MacKenzie and Max Myers, and their sidekicks Petey, the Jack Russell terrier, and Poppy, the ginger-colored cat, hop aboard the Time Tunnel to return to America’s past, where they help colorful characters in history.

White Doe in the Mist–The Mystery of the Lost Colony, tells the haunting story of England’s Lost Colony. In Ghost Train to Freedom–An Adventure on the Underground Railroad, the gang meets courageous, enslaved African Americans who seek freedom using the Underground Railroad.

Faith holds a B.S. degree from Mansfield University, Mansfield, Pennsylvania, and a Masters degree from Millersville University, Millersville, Pennsylvania, both in elementary education. When not buried in a suspenseful mystery book, Faith enjoys playing alto sax in a ’40s Big Band and hand bells in her church choir. She resides in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Robert, and her two dogs, Archie and Lady.

Author Visits with Kids ROCK!

I don’t know who is more excited during Author Visits at schools–the Kids, or the Author! There is anticipation in the air when an author walks in the front door, pulling her bin-on-wheels that is filled with enticing items, such as a real branch of cotton balls and furry animal puppets of the characters in the books. Children in the halls grin and whisper behind their hands, “I bet that’s the aut
