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 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!
