Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I have been writing since I learned how to read. Well, actually, I learned to read at age 4 and started writing when I was 5. My first story was about a family of mice.

Non-fiction is a newer venture for me. I published a newsletter of Catholic apologetics in the '90s. About 10 years later I started writing my spirituality column, "God Alone Suffices," in The Catholic Times of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
What's the story behind your latest book?
Five Lessons from the Carmelite Saints That Will Change Your Life was born when lesson #5 hit me in December 2012. I was blown away by St. Therese's trust in God. It was the perfect message for my spiritual life then and now. I started thinking about the other major turning points in my spiritual journey, and grew excited to share them with others.
