Christ-follower, wife, mother, author, dreamer, INFJ, Hufflepuff, WWII enthusiast. My dream pet would be a red fox and if I could eat only one food for the rest of my life, it would be avocados.

Wow. A house made of avocado and a yard full of foxes. I think that would be my heaven.

If you write WWII fiction, don't hesitate to contact me so I can add your book to my to-read list! It's probably obvious, but I love reading about WWII and am always eager to communicate with fellow authors!

If I experience writer's block after having written an emotionally draining scene (or scenes), I allow myself anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks of no writing. The reason being is pretty self-explanatory...I'm just drained. So instead I may use that time to read, watch movies or TV shows with great storylines and character development (something I can learn from), or I do more research on WWII. I still try to edit daily during the hiatus, though, just to keep the story fresh in my mind. Two weeks is my cut off, though. After that, I force through the writer's block, and eventually it all starts to flow again :)(less)

My fascination with WWII is not just a quirky enthusiasm anymore; it's the driving force for most of my stories. I also love creating real people in my characters; imperfect characters that are relatable in some way to my readers. I love telling their stories, whether it be as a cautionary tale, or as tales of redemption. I also love taking elements of my own life and experiences and incorporating them into my stories and my characters. I have found it both therapeutic and validating in many ways :)(less)

C.S. Lewis
“To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.”
C.S. Lewis

Mark Twain
“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”
Mark Twain

C.S. Lewis
“I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.”
C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis
“To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

C.S. Lewis
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
