I'm not usually so poetic, but I do love to write,
and that love has lead me to write dozens of books - longer novels for Love
Inspired, shorter novels for Heartsong
Presents, novella length stories for Barbour Publishing, and even a couple of gift
books, which I can best sum up by calling them 40 page greeting cards. One of my Heartsong
books was put into a set by Crossings
Bookclub, and my first series, which was published under Heartsong Presents was
re-released by Barbour Publishing under the single title of Vancouver. I've
also done a couple of cookbooks, not because I'm a very talented cook, but because I'm
not. The main theme of the cookbooks is that if I can make those recipes, anyone can.
| But I'm not going to expound on cooking, after all,
I spend most of my time not in the kitchen, but at my computer, writing. I write what I love to read, and that's mostly light hearted tales that can make me smile, and sometimes even laugh out loud. I'm not saying that these books aren't serious, because they certainly are. Mostly, they are easy to read, and of course they all have a happy ending. I've received a lot of letters and emails from people who tell me that they, like me, read a lot before bed, and in doing so, they either read past the time they should be going to sleep, or, something else I love to hear, that my readers' husbands (or wives, as the case may be) ask what is so funny as they are trying to get some sleep while their spouse cannot put the book down. And yes, I do get quite a lot of letters and emails from men as well as women. I love it. |

A few of my books have been on the CBA Bestseller list over the years, and after being
voted by the Heartsong Presents readership as Favorite Heartsong Author three years in a
row, I was inducted into the Heartsong Authors Hall Of Fame,
along with Tracie Peterson, Colleen
Reece, and Vera Lee Wiggins.
Besides writing, a couple of other things I love to do are playing my piano and my bass
guitar, which I play on my church's worship team. I also love to knit, when I find the
time, which isn't as often as it used to be.
Before I close off, I want to tell you about a thought-provoking bumper sticker I saw the other day. Close your eyes for a second, and imagine your favorite/dream car. Now for the bumper sticker. "Don't let the car fool you. My treasure is in heaven."
I drive a cheap economy car, but my treasure is in heaven, too. If you want to ask more about this treasure, email me, and feel free to ask any questions. Or, if you want, follow this link.
I guess that pretty much sums me up, or at least tells the most interesting stuff. So now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
