Hello!

I am the kind of person that believes in love, believes in sappiness, believes that God has a grand plan for it all, and I am enjoying the journey of figuring it out. Writing is easy with coffee in hand.

Literary Moments

I have recently met one of my favorite authors, Kate Morton, and it was great. She continues to inspire me with her writing, her love of England, and how history has an impact on the present.

A cause close to my heart

Favorite Book

Enjoyed Greatly

In The Winter Sea, historical fiction author, Carrie McClelland visits her friend and agent in Scotland. On her way, she drives by Slains Castle and feels an instant connection to it. In hopes of curing her writer’s block, she rents a cottage in the nearby village of Cruden Bay and her novel practically writes itself. Carrie writes the story and then does her research only to find what she has written was true.

Thankful for this Book

Love Does has a kind of 'north star' effect that will push you to refocus your life and energy on what is most significant. It doesn't just invite you to respond with your God-given potential, it invites you to become a part of what God can do beyond your potential.' - Reggie Joiner, Founder and CEO of Orange

Highly Reccomend!

Donald Miller explores the origin and meaning of redemption in this fully revised and redesigned bestseller. Hysterically funny, wryly provocative, and disquietingly insightful, Searching for God Knows What invites readers to examine their deep need for redemption, to feel it, know it, and live like it is true in their lives.

For my love of Jane Austen

Knowing that naming my cat "Darcy" is probably the most normal Janite thing I can do.
