Welcome to my little corner.

Do you feel you were born in the wrong era? Do you long for simpler times? Me too! Grab a cup of … something (I’m having coffee) … and travel back with me to a time when people’s daily lives looked different, but they faced the same core struggles we do today. My stories will point you to God, offer you a slice of hope, and entertain you along the way.

Shadow of the Wolf is now available to purchase in e-book form on Amazon or to read through Kindle Unlimited. I’m still working on the paperback format, but stay tuned for that option . . . and for information about book two. 

Germany, 1938. With the enemy closing in, she must guard her secrets…and her heart.
