As an award-winning author, Christian counselor, spiritual director, and professor of counseling, I use my experience and professional insight into human motivations and personalities to develop complex characters and explore difficult psychological topics in-depth. My writings include fiction, nonfiction, professional counseling books, and children’s books. My books range from imaginings of other worlds and futuristic societies to profound explorations of deep theological concepts. They offer new perspectives, challenge in-depth self-examination, and encourage a fearless embrace of life’s joys and sorrows. I take you to other worlds and other times. I tackle difficult questions. I face genuine suffering and rejoice in God’s redemption. After you finish my books, I hope you find yourself enlivened and enriched, with a newfound desire to experience God to the fullest. My husband, David, and I enjoy working and writing together. Our passion is to help others explore and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, and our work and our writings are geared toward that goal. Our children are grown with families of their own. Our son, Hayden, is a teacher, married to Natalie, a nurse. They have two children, Coen and Petra, our precious grandchildren. Our daughter, Lindsey, is a veterinarian, married to Kyle, an electrical engineer. Our youngest son, Cody, passed away at the age of seventeen from a degenerative neurological disorder. His life stands as a beautiful reflection of what it means to live in the Kingdom of God in the here-and-now. You can read more about Cody’s story at https://codylanefoundation.com. His story informs much of my writing.
