A New Year! A New You! A New Focus!

A New Year… A New You… A New Focus! At a time when the world is reeling from the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression, most people are experiencing an economic recession that will undoubtedly have an impact on their lives in 2009. Each day we hear about companies failing, industries needing government assistance, retailers struggling, increased joblessness, housing foreclosures, and more. Even more overwhelming and frustrating are our daily thoughts, feelings and activities that… Continue

What My Books Are All About

My books are meant to inspire. Hopefully make you smile and feel encouraged. Perhaps make you think a bit about yourself, your life, and your relationships. It is my sincere hope that by spending your valuable time reading my stories, you will gain some insight into yourself and your relationship with God. Perhaps your life's perspective may change a bit for the better? Philippians 1:20-21 All God's people are ordinary people made extraordinary by the matter He has given them. ~Oswald Chambers… Continue

A Garden Walled Around Trilogy

This trilogy: Call Me Bear, Call Me Elle, and Call Me Survivor started it all for me. Initially one enormous 600+ page book, it has evolved into this more manageable trilogy. I’ve always been fascinated with Indians: when I was a child I read about them, as a teacher I did extensive classroom projects about them, and in my adulthood I worked as a summer missionary with them. When I started with one fictional white girl I never thought I’d end up in such awe of the tenacious resiliency of the eas… Continue

Rules For Survival and Recipe For Disaster

Rules for Survival came first out of these two. I always have 'pet' names I call my books before the title finally 'speaks' to me and I initially called this one 'Choices.' I wanted to delve into the concept of just how powerful and life altering even the smallest of choices can be in steering the entire direction of our lives. Paul, the hero of Rules is the unquestionable bad guy in Recipe. While he will eventually find love and joy in his future, there is only hatred and sorrow in his past - a… Continue

A Well Behaved Woman's Life

Each of my books start in my head with a vivid image that I just can't ignore. For this book - my first foray into contemporary story writing - the initial image I had was of the rather bizarre "shower scene" in the first chapter. My main character, Bee, is so bleak at the start of this story that she describes her life as "numbing grayness." I wanted to create a character that had, on first glance, nothing much to live for. Unquestionably, Bee’s had a raw deal in life. When she says, with great… Continue

My Logo

When it came time to form my publishing company, the name - Faith Inspired Books - came quite easily. I believe firmly that each and every one of my stories is a special blessing from God, so the idea that I'm inspired through my faith was pretty elemental. But coming up with a logo, for a while, seemed just about impossible. How can you illustrate a concept like inspired faith? How impossible is that?! I tried angels and hearts, Bibles and strong, beautiful trees. But nothing felt right. Then… Continue

The Butler Did It

Have you ever said something like, "If only I was rich …" or "If only I was successful …" implying that what you have can't make you happy, but rather it's what you want. Life tends to teach you that happiness is more an internal rather than an external goal. At some point along this walk, we have to stop looking with longing towards what we don't have and appreciate what we've got. I explore this whole concept in The Butler Did It, giving a majority of my characters money and power and yet none… Continue

Joining The Club

Without God, I am a shy, introverted, insecure woman who feels that she's never pretty enough, smart enough, clever enough, or strong enough to be much good to anyone. With God, I have learned to battle my personal demons. I still quake with fear before I do something public like speak before the church, conduct a training session for my peers, or present my written works to curious strangers. But I do it because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that once I get up there magic happens with m… Continue
