Faith motivates my life and is the foundation of my desire to write. My story writing began in earnest when I joined the Words in Play writers' group. My dear friend and mentor Deb McKew imparted the confidence to write. Without her assistance King of the Shattered Glass would have remained just a mountain of notes. King of the Shattered Glass published by Marian Press is the first in a series of sacramental allegories for children. Will You Come to Mass? also by Marian Press is a pre-K through first-grade story made to inspire children (and their parents) to put the relationship with God before all else on Sunday. The Light on Christmas Morning, published in the fall of 2021 by Our Sunday Visitor, introduces a Christmas tradition that will convey to every family member that sweet cherishing of the Christ Child we all desire to have in our hearts on Christmas morning.
