In a few weeks, The Inn at Hidden Run will release, and right there on page 1 you’ll meet Jillian Parisi-Duffy. This is the first book in my new Tree of Life series, so as I created Jillian, I settled in to get to know her not just for one story but four. A few […]
If you’ve never done one of the Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunts, think about giving it a try! Dozens of authors, lots of giveaways and prizes. It’s a great way to discover new authors. I’ll be participating. (See the green cover with the tree? That’s mine. The Inn at Hidden Run.)

A couple of years ago I wrote Hidden Falls, a long novel that was available in “episodes” you could download for an e-reader or audible book. I’m pleased to be able to say that the book will soon be available in print as a big fat book of 528 pages. I loved writing this book, […]
