“I’ve always had voices—er, stories in my head. I once said I should write them all down so someone could write them someday. I had no idea at the time that someone was me!”

My stories are deep and dark, my characters raw and real, with a healthy helping of hope and joy, humor and laughter, and abiding and sustaining faith.
My characters struggle in some way for their identity. Their stories are their journey to know who God created them to be.
There is also a strong element of friends, family, and faith in all my stories, and the difference it makes to have such a support system.

This book is spooky.

I wasn’t expecting something so perfect for the season. I started reading this and it steadily got darker and darker as poor Cissy was dragged deeper into the evil she believed herself to be. This is not a light read by any means, but I highly recommend it for those looking for something deep, something that delves into abuse and coping mechanisms, this is a book that will bring that to you. Characters are real and raw, with demons that don’t let up. Though this isn’t a Christian book, there is this beautiful Christian thread within that gives hope within the darkness.

I received a galley copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to read or review it.
