I have been a wife for almost twenty years and a mother for over fourteen. I was physically born in Grand Rapids, where I have lived all my life, but was spiritually born fourteen years ago at Resurrection Life Church (www.reslife.org), in Grandville, Michigan.
I can't remember a time when I didn't love to write - I think I carried a pencil with me out of the womb! I am a freelance writing and aspiring author. My writing resume' includes greeting cards, print and online articles and stories, as well as over 30 published pieces in various Faith Writers anthology books. I write daily web content, moderate a couple of different message board forums, conduct author interviews, write two monthly online newsletters, contribute to my church's online newsletter, am a book reviewer, and serve as writing challenge judge for FaithWriters.com. My contemporary Christian novel, a light and humorous Mom-Lit with a message of commitment and forgiveness, has placed in three national contests, including the 2007 FaithWriters Page Turner contest and won second place in the 2008 ACFW Genesis contest, chick lit category. That novel is now complete and is in the editing stage.
My hope is that through my writing I can encourage, entertain, and offer hope to someone who needs it. My prayer is, "God use me." And if God uses my writing to touch and change even one heart, my prayer will have been answered.
