About Me
Frankly, my dear, I don’t trust in God’s compassion

One Brave Step Started My Road to Publishing
24 years ago I took ONE brave step. I was at the Mt. Hermon Writer’s Conference, and I’d taken a workshop on article writing.

In the World, Not of It: The Christian Bubble
In the World, Not of It: The Christian Bubble When we moved to Little Rock in 2010, I knew it would be easy to slip into the Bible Belt bubble. My husband’s job was with a Christian organization (FamilyLife), so surrounding ourselves with like-minded friends would be easy. Big, beautiful churches are within a… [Continue Reading]

Writing a True Story of Depression and Hope
Writing a True Story of Depression and Hope Like everyone else, I was heartbroken to hear about the death of Robin Williams.
