I'm an author of two published novels, two novellas, and a short story. I have a B.A. in English and Creative Writing. This blog is a place for information on my published books, writing techniques, and thoughts on personal life memories and encounters, my faith, and geopolitical events.
In addition, a person must get my permission to use any of my content in their own blog or website, and if they do, they must credit me for my content in their site. Thank you.
Greek traditions in a family struggling with connection. A holy icon–the great-grandmother’s treasured heirloom–needs to be recovered for healing. The main character, Marina, must learn what it means to be loved and how to love, as well as to gain self-worth, and overcome fear of her nephew’s illness. This all takes place on the gorgeous Greek Island of Santorini and the Denver, Colorado area. How will a broken family heal? Will Marina have the capacity to dig down deep inside herself to find out who she truly is? Pick up my novel, Passage of Promise, and discover all.
One of my favorite movies that I’ve watched so many times over the years, I’ve lost count, is Hope Floats.
In a time when hope is needed more than ever, I wanted to share a few words, quotes, and a song I’ve been listening to this afternoon that moves me to tears, as it’s so beautiful.
First off, know that you were created by a Trinity, Who is Love, Peace, and Hope.
He fashioned you with the breath of His Spirit, the soil of His created planet, and in His own Image.
You are higher than every plant, animal, and nature’s grandest and most beautiful mountains, seas, and deep, rich forests.
You are higher than the angels.
You are the conduit between the immaterial and material.
All because of Him. His Love.
This pandemic will pass.
This economic depression will pass.
We will meet on the other side of it all with the hope of better things to come.
For those new to my blog, I’m reposting a video from a blog post from 2018. It is a very short play (no more than 5-7 minutes) I wrote back in 2015 for my Introduction to Creative Writing class when I was still in college.
I was lucky enough to have a local theater’s actors perform my fun play on January 20, 2018. I’m a bit shy, so my husband introduced my play. Hope you enjoy and laugh just a little. 🙂
