I’ve been writing since 2015 beginning with short stories. My writing is realistic, based in truth, then fictionalized for more enjoyment. It always brings my characters “From Darkness Into Light,” because they are about God’s redemption.
Novels were a new idea for me, and my first novella, Muldoon’s Minnesota Darling, published in 2023. Award-winner, Muldoon’s Misfortunes Book 1, was republished by me, June 2025, in all formats. Book 2, another double award-winner, Madam Muldoon’s Garden was published in July 2025, and a Christmas novella, The Perfect Christmas for Cara released in October 2025. Watch for updates from me on Book 3, Rescuing the Muldoons in July 2026.
Before I retired, I held a position as an administrative assistant and receptionist for a non-profit organization with a medical clinic. Their goal was to relocate elderly, homeless, mentally ill off the streets and provide housing and medical care.
Being a team member on short-term mission trips, a vocalist with a worship team, and participating in intercessory prayer ministry for my church—which included other forms of prayer, helped me grow spiritually. Fantastic and enjoyable community opportunities abounded when I volunteered with Global Media Outreach online, served at Serna Village , and led small groups in Single’s, Women’s, and Divorce Care ministries.
Owning my own business where I designed and painted wall murals for several years opened my mind on how to apply suggestions from others . Writing a story is similar in many aspects to painting pictures, but it’s more difficult to paint word pictures. I have proof with all my slashed pages from when I first started to write. Repetition was my bane. Can you imagine slashing black paint over someone’s canvas? We’re allowed to do that with the written word in critiques and editing. Yikes! And I’d never have advanced without the tough stuff.
