I don't know if I should give that secret away just yet. What I will say is that you can expect both fiction and non-fiction from me.

I don't consider myself to have "fans" really. My writing is my ministry. There are women in the Christian community that follow me on social media and my blog, but I consider them to be a part of my community. We're all a part of the body of Christ. I learn just as much from them as they do from me. That's a beautiful thing.

I really like Priscilla Shirer. Her teachings are powerful and easy to understand.

The fact that each day is new forgiveness and a chance to live out my purpose inspires me. With a post on Instagram or Facebook, with a prayer on my blog, the Holy Spirit can be touching someone's life through me. That makes me feel honored and humble.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy photography and making perfumes. If you're following my blog, Scents of Grace, I'll show you how.

Honestly, just by looking. Google is a wonderful thing.

I can recall many stories I wrote in childhood. I'm not so sure of the very first one. What's interesting is that when I was a kid, my characters were...interesting. I loved to make shapes (many times circles) my characters. Animals were probably my next favorite to characterize (usually fish and sea life).

It differs with each format, honestly. If it's a collection of prayers, I often find myself sprinting across the house to find my notebook. I just have to get it on paper before I forget. When I've written down several prayers that revolve around the same thing, I make them into an eBook.

With fiction, it's far different. I'll have an idea. I'll think (even dream) about the idea, and then I try to develop a plot around it. If I cant let go of the characters and that plot idea, I'll sit down and outline it. Then, I flesh it out from there.

I don't recall the very first thing I ever read.

I keep the title in the back of my head. Then, I look for images that would communicate something about that title. Finally, I ask myself, "how can I use these images in a striking way?"

1. The Bible
2. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer
3. Um..
4. ...I
5. ...don't know. Sorry.

For pleasure, I read books by christian authors. I like to do this because I can see the Bible and Christian life in a way that I never have before. I also like craft books.
