Hi, everyone!

About me... Well, I love to read! I love to write! I love my family, and most of all, I love my Lord!

The printed page can take you on more adventures than you could ever hope to experience! I love books that pump fear and energy into your veins (without gore), books that force you to keep the pages turning when you really should be turnin’ off the lights, books with clean humor that will bring a smile to your face, and nostalgic books with "atmosphere" that will warm your heart and give you a cozy, hot cocoa feeling inside.

I love listening to audio books while running, cooking, or doing chores! Audio books are a busy girl's best friend, and I'll take them with me anywhere I go.

I think, the perfect reading time is sitting in Hi, everyone!

I think, the perfect reading time is sitting in front of a big picture window that’s propped slightly open, on a cool, rainy day, a gentle breeze whisking through it and the soft pattering of water droplets hitting the pane, leaning my shoulder against the glass with a book in my lap and a cup of steamy coffee beside, letting those little black words take the keys and transport me into an exciting adventure!

I just published my first novel “Fire Storm.” I had so much fun writing it! Whenever, I needed a quick adrenaline fix or a good laugh, I could count on my characters to deliver. It was hard for me to get a word in edgewise concerning the outline, sometimes, because the characters would often just take off runnin' in their own direction … without consulting me :). However, we became such good friends I had to keep them alive a little longer. So, I’m working on its sequel right now.

Their setting is in small town Illinois, among cornfields, horse farms, the fire station, ect…. It’s a murder mystery that includes humor, hardships, relationships, romance, action, and struggles that cause some draw closer to their heavenly Father while others pull away.

My ultimate goal is to exalt my Savior, Lord, and King, and to never bring dishonor to my GOD, my friend which 'sticketh closer than a brother.'

I look forward to interacting with ya'll in the great exploration of the wonderful world of literature!

Willing To Review Christian Group — 711 members — last activity Jul 16, 2026 10:08AM
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
