"Writing is my passion and a source of healing. Christian romance massages the heart and expands its capacity for unconditional love. It shows the inherent beauty of relationships between people who have Christ in their lives or come to know Him in the process of discovering true love, despite life's trials," says the author. "My heart is for women: where we've come from, where we are now and where we have the potential to be. Military travels have afforded me the privilege of meeting many diverse people. These experiences lend to the creation of characters that embrace romance, spirituality and humor resulting in happy endings."
