Welcome to my website. So glad you dropped by for a visit to get to know more about my books and me.
The Outsider, my book about a Shaker girl in the early 1800's, will be in stores August 1.
Its story of forbidden love and new beginnings is getting a good response from reviewers and booksellers all over the country. Library Journal recommended all libraries get it for their readers. That sounded good to me. Hope you'll be one of those readers. Check out more about the book and get a sneak peek at the first chapter by clicking on The Outsider
If you've been reading my Hollyhill Series, I hope you had fun getting to know Jocie and her family. The Scent of Lilacs, the first book in the series, was one of Booklist's top ten Christian novels for 2006.
The story continued in Orchard of Hope where Jocie and friends faced a whole new set of challenges in one of the hottest and driest summers ever in Hollyhill, Kentucky. In the third book, Summer of Joy, every knock on the door brings a new threat to my Hollyhill family's happiness. Each book is a stand-alone story, so jump in anywhere and then go back and see what happened in Hollyhill in the other books. You'll meet some loveable and quirky characters along the way that are bound to make you smile.
You can purchase my books on-line through Amazon and Barnes and Noble or other on-line booksellers such as Christianbook.com or at your favorite bookstores. If they aren't on the shelf, they might be able to order the book for you.
Angels at the Crossroads, one man's inspirational journey from wrongdoing to redemption, is my only non-fiction title. Jerry Shepherd sang in the same gospel quartet as my husband for six years and when I heard his story I had to write it down. Angels at the Crossroads, received a Reader Views Reviewers Choice Award for Nonfiction - Memoir/Autobiography/Biography.
A great way to get Angels at the Crossroads is at one of the Patriot Quartet's concerts. That way you'll not only get an autographed copy of Jerry's inspiring true story of redemption and love, you'll have the chance to hear some great Southern Gospel music. Jerry also has the book available for purchase each time he gives his amazing testimony in word and song at a church or event. Both Jerry and/or I are available for talks for your church or organization. I enjoy sharing my writing experiences and I also do Bible centered inspirational talks such as "Where in the story of Jonah are you?" or "Lord, are you sure you're talking to me?"
So thanks for stopping by. Come back often. I'll be keeping you up-to-date on news about my books and where you might come meet me in person. Don't forget to check out my blog to find out what's happening in my life. I usually post on Saturdays or Sundays and add something a little extra during the week, so come on over and we'll talk.
Meanwhile, keep the faith, never forget the power of prayer, and keep smiling. Everybody will wonder what you're up to!
