Born and bred in beautiful North Carolina, I grew up hearing the Bible stories and wishing I knew more about each person's life. What happened before? What happened next? Unable to find these stories, I began to write my own books and dream of writing professionally. True story: As a 6th grader, I turned in a book report on my own book - written under a nom de plume! I hold a BS in Early Childhood Education, an MA in School Counseling and an MA in Religious Education. I've worked in theatre, as a hospital chaplain intern and as a teacher in both public and private schools. As a pastor's wife, I've served as a lay counselor, written/directed dramas for worship services and co-taught marriage seminars. My most challenging and rewarding life work has been (is) mothering our two children.
