My Journey
My journey as an author began with a desire to share what God had shown me through my own life experiences. That journey led to my first book, God Spoke and I Listened, and opened the door for me to continue writing stories and messages rooted in faith, encouragement, and purpose. What began as sharing my own story has grown into a calling to use my words to inspire others and remind them that their stories matter too.
Over the years, my writing journey has continued to evolve. I expanded into inspirational writing and fiction, including The Sheldra Series, while also helping aspiring authors move from an idea to a finished book. Through Pen.Paper.Publish and my 5P Method™—Pray, Plan, Pen, Proof, and Publish—I now combine my experience as an author with my passion for helping others confidently write and share the stories they’ve been called to tell.
What Grounds Me
Faith, Purpose & the Power of Your Story
My faith is the foundation of everything I write and share. I believe our experiences both the victories and the difficult seasons can carry lessons, encouragement, and purpose. Through my books and speaking, I strive to share honestly, point readers toward hope, and remind them that God can use every part of their story.
I also believe that stories should not remain hidden simply because someone feels unsure about how to tell them. Whether I’m writing my own story, creating fiction, speaking to an audience, or helping an aspiring author begin a book, my goal is the same: to use words with intention and help turn meaningful experiences into something that can encourage, inspire, and impact others.
