edit data

I spend my time staring into a computer screen whether working, writing, or editing. That’s why it’s so fun to hang out with my grandson, children, or walk outside. But burning easily makes it difficult to spend much time outdoors.

I come from a family of writers: my mom, my grandmother, and several other family members. When I'm not at the computer writing or editing, I'm discussing plots with any one of my children.

I do ask the advice of my cats. They have good ideas. The world holds a variety of sinister plots even if it is just someone waiting for the bus.

Check out my devotionals including Driving with Anna and Christian Cozy Mystery books including Planted Flowers series and the new Emily's Cat Mysteries.

I Am A Cupid Cat

Charlie is no ordinary Cupid.

With bow in paw and arrow poised, this reluctant feline battles his aversion to pink frills, frosty, and sugar-coated hearts. Yet as he tiptoes across snow-dusted rooftops delivering secret tokens of affection beneath twinkling winter skies, he can’t help but wonder: why celebrate love when a cozy supper awaits inside?

Between comical mishaps, skeptical humans, and

A precious read This book is different from my usual variety. Instead of light humor and quirky characters, it is filled with someone I would love to be or meet. The beginning seems slow but it is necessary to show who Emily is in the beginning and he ...more
