Newspaper reporter for a local paper for 2 years.

I covered the town of Mooresville, interviewing and writing 4-6 articles a week on various subjects such as art, education, faith, business and news for the Mooresville Weekly.

My debut novel, Lake Surrender is inspirational fiction. The story unfolds with a single mom with two kids, one autistic starting her life again as cook in a Christian camp in Northern Michigan. Two problems- she can't cook and Christians irritate her.Available on Amazon, paperback and Kindle.

I have also written a middle grade Christmas book called The Littlest Bell Ringer and a devotional for movers titled Changing Zip Codes.My writer's heart is to showcase stories of modern women with real problems discovering their spiritual connection with God. And, believe me, I emphasize the word "real."
