My Books

Fixed Up is my first full-length fiction novel. While I've written several others before this, I haven't published them. This story came out of nowhere and completely took me by surprise. It's full of laugh-out-loud awkward moments, plenty of romantic tension, and a really sweet faith lesson in the end. I loved writing this story, and I hope you love reading it just as much.

More Than I Bargained For is a book I've been writing since 2016. I've taken several breaks from it, but in 2023, I decided to push forward and finish it. It's an adorable holiday story that starts on Thanksgiving and ends on Christmas, and it's all about finding the true meaning of the season.

My first book, Do You Trust Me?, is probably the most important book I will ever write because, not only is it a true story, but it also has a very powerful message: We can’t control everything in our lives. Even when it seems like everything is out of control, we can’t turn our backs on God. In the end, He is all we have; everything else is temporary. If I never had another book published, I may have been disappointed, but I don’t think God would've been. What I have learned through my experiences and have written on the pages of this book is my true ministry.

Just for fun, I entered a writing contest put on by a small, independent press. The grand prize for this contest was publication in a short-story anthology called "Sweet Summer Love."  Because I live in Northern Minnesota and enjoy writing about spending time at the lake, I thought this would be the perfect contest to enter! I wrote a story called “The House On Mirror Lake,” and I won the grand prize! I was so excited! Here is the story, along with stories from authors Wendy DeWar Hughes and Suzanne Lieurance. Just click on the cover. I hope you enjoy it!

 For several years, I’ve been a contributing blogger for IG Living online magazine. This publication focuses on living with a chronic illness—specifically one which requires infusions of immune globulin. I enjoy writing from the perspective of a parent/caretaker, as all of my sons suffer from Primary Immune Deficiency Disease. I tend to take a more humorous approach, because if I don’t, I just might cry! IG Living has recently put several blogs together in the form of an e-book called Chronic Inspiration. It’s a great resource for anyone living with chronic illness. Check it out on Amazon.
