Author

​
As a child, I never once thought about becoming an author. Then unexpected life event played out. And God formed a desire deep within me to help others take a better path. He knew all along!
​
Then one hundred times in my head as the years went by, I dreamed of becoming an author. And ten times, others have spoken this to me. That is how my dream to be an author developed. Now is my time and I am full of all the emotions!
​
I laugh that It would be lovely to say, “Oh, I am writing a mystery, or a series of books for teens.” But I am writing an odd sort of love story. And I feel some part of my story will be your story. So come lean in and let us learn from each other!

My Camouflaged Heart
Does the title, “My Camouflaged Heart,” sparks curiosity of what lies between the covers of this book? Twenty years ago, as my Mom was in hospice, a Pastor I had never met, prophesied out of the heart of the Lord that I was going to write a book. Ten years later sitting on a tiny balcony of a apartment after a deeply personal and painful time of my life, the Lord gave me the title! Not knowing that the hardest chapters where about to be played out!
​
It has not been until now at the close of the second year after my husband's death, a different process of self discovery and transformation has occurred. I found I had fooled myself through the many life chapters. Now to be surprised that in my grief, God was penetrating the deepest parts of my life. He has reawaken new vision, released the tramatic memories, highlighted stuffed assumptions, and showed me a new awareness of what my publisher called my scary story. Because all hard stories, are scary to write.
Today, I am fascinated at God’s design for my life! I laugh at how grief is the great revealer of God’s goodness in life; God has instructed me to love it all, even the hard traumas! This seems an impossible task but a thought provoking question!
As I write, it is allowing me to see God’s great love and goodness even in the midst of overcoming adversity!
