Hi. As a lifelong lover of God, the Body of Christ, and the Bible, I'm a freelance and assignment writer-poet for Christian and educational publishers.

My credits include 36 books in all genres placed with traditional and indie publishers and 3000+ poems, devotionals, children's stories, nonfiction articles, and church curriculum.

Since most of my work honors God in some way, I just started blogging on my new website, Honoring God online - https://honoringgod.online/ .
