Welcome to My Storytelling Corner

Where Books Meet Wonder, Faith meets family, and words become laughter and light in the messy middle.

Where every Story finds a home

My world is a mix of swoony love stories, faith-filled essays, and reflections that (hopefully) read like a voice memo from a friend who sees you and gets it.

If you're craving a novel that makes you feel something...

or a devotional that comforts you in the chaos...

or a place to laugh through motherhood, fall in love on the page, or rediscover God's presence in the quiet moments between loads of laundry and dishes...

you're in the right spot.

“The most amazing stories of love and humor and heart.”

— Melissa West, USA Today Bestselling Author

Stories are how we remember the goodness threaded through our lives, and this space brings together all the worlds I write in–from swoony, small-town and coming-of-age romances to thoughtful essays on faith, family, and identity, and the blog where I spill my heart, my lessons, and occasionally my caffeinated beverage of choice (spoiler alert: it's Diet Mountain Dew).

Wherever you choose to wander next, I'm glad you're here.

The power of Story

I've always been passionate about the written word. I grew up writing countless first chapters until I finally finished and even published one...and then 10 others...in multiple languages.

As a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, I've been given opportunities to speak on stages and in classrooms about story structure and character development.

I homeschooled my daughters for 16 years with biographies and real books as our primary curriculum– then watched as they stepped into their own life stories with Leading Lady energy.

I've served in faith ministries for 20 years, sharing Jesus's life-changing Parables and Gospel message to all ages, and gaining certification in both the Enneagram and Ignatian spiritual practices, learning how the Ultimate Author uses story to teach and guide us.

And today, I bring all my training and life experience together in my coaching and courses, creating signature systems, such as my ReStory Arc™, Harmony Bloom Pathway™, Legacy of Learning Approach™, and ReStory Unit Study Framework™ to empower and equip women to rewrite their stories.

Stories are how we soften, how we grow, how we remember what matters most.

Whether you're here looking for comfort, courage, or a spark of imagination, you're welcome here.
