I love a happy ending. As a minor (but important to me) character in God's complicated romance-adventure-mystery-thriller, I'm glad to know ahead of time that things are going to work out well. The road gets bumpy sometimes, but Jesus is with me, taking my blows and nourishing me with his life.
I stumbled across Faithwriters in the summer of 2004, a wanna-be writer who did more dreaming than writing. This site challenged me to write to a deadline and helped me build a body of work. I have met likeminded writers from around the world here, who encourage and instruct me. I am blessed to call them friends.
Today, because of God and this website, I can call myself a writer. I have been published in a variety of anthologies, webzines and newspapers with more to come. My free reprint tally is now over 1200. I've heard from people in Europe, Africa and across America who say they enjoyed or used my work--I'm honored and so thankful.
